Here’s a prayer of confession from the Community of Christ website.
Prayer of Confession
O Lord,
forgive us when we fail to respond to your
call with faith.
Through your Spirit
we stand in the assurance of your acceptance.
Forgive us when we are shackled
by our narrow understandings of discipleship
and our clouded sense of purpose.
Through your Spirit
we are drawn into the illumination of your
empowering love.
Forgive us when we are frightened of the
future
or pull back from the demand of your calling.
Forgive us when we fail to sense your
presence in our past,
to acknowledge your grace in the present
moment,
and to trust you for our future.
Through your Spirit we offer ourselves in
discipleship.
We stand
together as your disciples.
We seek
renewed and renewing faith.
Touch
us now with your Spirit, Lord.
Touch
us now with your Spirit.
