Here’s a prayer of
confession from Rev Ian Elston. It was
posted on the Starters for Sunday website.
Prayer of Confession
Lord, You know our
faults,
our failings, the
waywardness of our affections,
the times when we
fail to practise what we know,
Yet you love us still
You forgive us
Are there to comfort
us
Cherish us
Guide us
Love us
We thank you for your
undying eternal love
Give us grace to love
what you command
and to desire what
you promise,
that in all the
changes and chances of this world,
our hearts may be
surely fixed
where true
contentment, true life is to be found,
in Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
