Here’s
a prayer of confession from David Beswick’s Worship
and Preaching website.
Prayer of Confession
We
have failed to love you with all our heart
and
to be good stewards of your creation:
Lord,
have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
We have failed to take up the cross of discipleship
and
to be good stewards of your gospel:
Christ,
have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
We have failed to be faithful members of your church
and
to be good stewards of your spiritual gifts:
Lord,
have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Declaration of
Forgiveness
God proves his love
for us in that while we still were sinners,
Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Confident
in his free gift of forgiveness,
I
declare to you Christ's word of grace:
Your
sins are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.
Thanks be to God.
