*Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, you are the everlasting God who searches both mind and heart, and who gives to each person according to his works. No creature is hidden from your sight, but all things are open and laid bare before your eyes. We have sinned by doing those things you have expressly forbidden and failing to do those things you have clearly commanded. Both inwardly and outwardly we have fallen short of your glory. With our minds we have not searched for truth like silver and gold. With our strength we have not supported the church or served the body. With our hearts we have not treasured your Son or prized so great a salvation. Our lives have been defiled with indifference, poisoned by apathy, and made difficult through spiritual sloth. We are in need of your mercy. Please forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Minister: What do we pray for in the fifth petition?
Unison: In the fifth petition, which is, And forgive us out debts, as we forgive our debtors, we pray that God, for Christ’s sake, would freely pardon all our sins; which we are the rather encouraged to ask, because by his grace we are enabled from the heart to forgive others..
Minister: What further instruction does Scripture give that has relevance for this petition?
Unison: The apostle Paul said, “Bear with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgive each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”
