Here’s
a prayer of confession from Alex S. Leung.
Prayer of Confession
Almighty
and most merciful father,
We
are thankful that your mercy is
higher
than the heavens,
wider
than our wanderings,
deeper
than all our sin.
Forgive
our frivolous attitude toward life,
our
callousness toward suffering,
our
envy of those who have more than we have,
our
obsession with creating a life of constant pleasure,
our
indifference to the treasures of heaven,
our
neglect of your wise and gracious law.
Help
us to change our way of life
so
that we may desire what is good, love what you love,
and
do what you command,
Through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For I know that my
Redeemer lives,
and at the last he
will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has
been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I
shall see God,
whom I shall see for
myself,
and my eyes shall
behold, and not another.
My heart faints
within me!
(Job
19:25-27 ESV)
