Prayer of Confession
God, we are so conditioned to respond in kind.
We are so worried that when the reckoning comes,
we will find ourselves left with the short end
of the stick.
And not without reason.
The powerful take and take and lie and lie
and oppress and oppress
seemingly without consequence.
Teach us to love with skill.
Teach us to love with precision.
Teach us to love with abandon,
trusting that when we step into
the ocean of your abundant love
we will receive the blessings of your abundant
life. Amen.
