*Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, you are the One who was and who is and who is to come, the thrice holy God before whom angels cover their faces and men fall prostrate in the dust. There is none holy like the Lord. There is no God besides you. There is no Rock like our Redeemer! We have sinned by failing to worship and serve you with the reverence and respect of which you are most worthy. Your name, O Lord, endures forever and your renown throughout all ages. Oh, but with your word we have been careless, and before your throne we have been glib, and in your presence we have been nonchalant and indifferent. Our minds have wandered, our hearts have grown callous, our moods have been cold and apathetic. You invite us to rejoice at your table, but we have complained in the church. We are unworthy of your love, undeserving of your gifts, and stand in desperate need of your mercy. Please forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Minister: What do we pray for in the sixth petition?
Unison: In the sixth petition, which is, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, we pray that God would either keep us from being tempted to sin, or support and deliver us when we are tempted.
Minister: What further encouragement do we find for making this petition?
Unison: The Lord Jesus will do for us what he did for Peter to whom he said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.”
