Prayer of Confession
Here’s
is a unison prayer of confession, written by Gill Le Fevre for use on the first
Sunday of Lent, Year C (though it is broad enough to be used at any time).
Prayer
of Confession
Merciful God,
You see deep into our hearts
and know us better than we know ourselves.
Forgive us we pray.
For the times we turn away from Your word,
remind us that You are the Lord our God,
our eternal protector and guide.
For our impulses of anger and jealousy, scorn
or spite,
grant us Your healing peace.
For our resistance to forgiveness, generosity
and mercy,
inspire us with Your compassionate love.
Assurance
of Forgiveness
Welcome
now the abundant grace of God:
in
Jesus, your sins are forgiven.
And
let God's love comfort and heal your soul.
Redeeming God,
in You, we are always welcome and accepted,
always forgiven and renewed.
Draw us closer to You, today and always. Amen.
