Here’s
a prayer of confession from Rev. Mindi’s Rev-o-lution
blog.
Prayer of Confession
“So we
keep on praying for you,
asking
our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call.
May he
give you the power to accomplish all the good things
your
faith prompts you to do.” 2 Thessalonians
1:11
God
who delivers and redeems,
we
have failed to live into the promise of new life.
We
have been afraid to enter troubled waters to help the poor and downtrodden.
We
have sought ease and comfort
in
exchange for ignoring the hungry and sick in our world.
Forgive
us when we have seen our faith in such narrowness,
thinking
of only our own salvation.
Forgive
us when we have not lived for others,
when
we have not been willing to risk ourselves for the sake of others.
Call
us into new life,
a
life that is lived in the promise of Your love for the whole world.
In
Jesus’ name. Amen.
