Here’s
a prayer of confession from Rev. Mindi’s Rev-o-lution
website.
Prayer of Confession
Almighty
God,
You
have set before us the path
but
we have wandered on our own
to
try to find our way.
Sometimes
we are like toddlers
and
we hear Your call and come back.
Other
times, we are children testing boundaries,
ignoring
Your call until fear finally makes us look back.
And
still other times we are full of youthful rebellion,
demanding
to be cut loose and set free,
not
knowing how much we still need
to
seek Your wisdom and guidance.
But
most of all, too often we think we are adults
and
have figured it all our and know our own way,
only
to stumble and stray so far.
Remind
us, parental God,
that
we are always Your children,
that
we are never fully grown up in Your sight,
that
we always have much to learn.
Help
us to seek You every day,
to
acknowledge that we need Your wisdom and guidance,
and
help us to return to the path and walk with You.
In
the name of Christ,
who
is our companion on this journey of faith, we pray. Amen.
