Christ’s Worship Ways website.
Prayer of Confession
Sometimes
God we take ourselves so seriously
—our
opinions, our emotions, our needs, our entitlements—
that
we fail to notice our effect on others.
And
we do not make connections between our limitless wants
and
the resources left for others.
We
do this without knowing it.
Bring
our awareness to Justice for all
to
the common good, to your universality of blessings.
Remind
us you love all.
Silent
confession.....
Words of Assurance
(inspired by 1
Timothy 2:4-6)
The God of salvation,
who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the
knowledge of truth,
offers forgiveness to each of us through the
Redeemer sent in human form.
We are grateful that over and over we are given the
chance to begin again
and that nothing we have done can separate us from
God’s love.
