Here’s
a prayer of confession from the Presbyterian
Church in Canada website.
Prayer of Confession
God of glory,
you sent Jesus among us as
the light of the world,
to reveal your love for all
people.
We confess that our sin and
pride hide the brightness of your light.
We turn away from the poor;
we ignore cries for justice;
we do not strive for peace.
Forgive us, God. In your mercy, cleanse us of our sin,
and baptize us once again
with your Spirit,
so that, as forgiven and
renewed people,
we may reflect the love and
life of Jesus Christ
into our world.
Assurance of Pardon
(inspired by Colossians 3:1)
Our God is a God of grace and mercy and love;
know that our sins have been forgiven.
May we be strengthened in all goodness.
Since we have been raised with Christ,
let us seek the things that are above,
where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Thanks be to God; amen.
