Prayer of Confession
(inspired by Genesis
32:24-28)
God
has stricken
us
And
will bind up our wounds
We
bring to God
all
that is comfortable and self-satisfied in us,
and
we let it go.
God
has stricken
us
And
will bind up our wounds
We
bring to God the times we have avoided the struggle,
taken
the line of least resistance, colluded, and let them go.
God
has stricken
us
And
will bind up our wounds
And
because we believe that God does bless us,
we
bring to God our questions and doubts and uncertainties,
and
we offer them.
Bless
us as you name
us
As
those who have prevailed
We
bring to God all that we find hard to deal with,
tasks,
relationships, feelings,
and we offer them
Bless
us as you name
us
As
those who have prevailed
We
bring to God all the messy, unwinnable struggles
and
adversities that we face,
and
offer them
Bless
us as you name
us
As
those who have prevailed
