Here’s
a litany of confession and commitment inspired by Psalm 51. It was written by Clarence Brown.
Prayer Litany
(inspired by Psalm
51)
Have
mercy upon us, O Lord,
according
to your steadfast love and abundant mercy.
Let
our response to your love
be
the exercise of heartfelt compassion for the poor,
the
oppressed, the downtrodden and vulnerable.
Create
in us clean hearts, and renew in us upright spirits.
Let
our renewed vision see the places where you beckon;
let
our clean hearts be broken for the things that cause you pain.
Let
us be present with you in healing and deliverance,
and
let us be instruments of your peace.
Do
not cast us away from your presence,
and
do not take your Holy Spirit from us.
Instead
supply us with the boldness that your Holy Spirit supplies,
that
we might be strength for the weak and a voice for the silenced.
Empower
us with the sureness of your presence
that
as we walk in your way
we
might initiate glorious transformation of this world
through
our justified miraculous expectations.
