Prayer of Confession
(inspired by John 12:20-33)
Lord, we confess that we love
our lives as they are.
We struggle with even the idea of
change.
We wrestle with the thought of
doing things differently.
But we know that the life we
cling to is only a half-life.
Only you, O Lord, can give us
true life in full.
Forgive us for holding onto the
wrong things.
Teach us by your Spirit
to let go of our agendas and assumptions.
Help us to let go of our
self-righteousness and false notions of power.
Give us the strength and
courage to try new things.
Encourage us – and even push us
–
to let go of ourselves so we
can fully embrace you, Holy God.
We pray these things in the
name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
