Here’s a prayer of confession for Easter Sunday. It was posted on the Missional Challenge website.
Easter Prayer
of Confession
Gracious Father,
you sent your Son to die and rise to new life
in order that death might be brought to an end
and that we might live a new life in Him.
Yet we confess that we too often have chosen to remain
captive to doubt and fear and ways that lead to death.
By our thoughts, words, and actions,
we have scorned your love,
diminished the lives of others,
and defaced your image in us.
Father, forgive us for Jesus' sake,
and enable us by His resurrection power
to live no longer for ourselves
but for Him who died and rose again for us. Amen.
