Here’s
a prayer of confession for Advent from the Ministry
Matters website.
Prayer of Confession
“Prepare
the way of the Lord!
Make a
straight road for him!” Matthew 3:3
Holy
and loving God,
we
have dwelt in darkness
and
preferred it to the light;
we
have been proud of our accomplishments
and
despaired over our shortcomings.
Smooth
down the mountains of our pride,
and
lift up the valleys of our doubts.
Open
a path in the wilderness of our lives
that
we might find our way to you again.
Refine
us and prepare us once again
for
life in your kingdom.
Hear
our prayer, O Lord. Amen.
