Call to Confession: Psalm 86:1

Prayer of Confession:
Father, we come, not as those who are strong in faith, but those whose faith is feeble, weakened because we have trusted in ourselves—in our own abilities, in our own strength, in our own intellect—instead of trusting in you. We confess that we have thought you to be a little God, and the people of the land to be like giants. We have feared men, rather than God. We have held up and revered people to give us praise and fill us with the love that only you can provide. Father, we admit we have too often set our affections on the things of this world. Holy Father, in your great mercy, forgive us our many sins, wash us clean by the blood of the Lamb who was slain, and increase in us a hatred for our sin and a passion and love for you holiness and righteousness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Psalm 86:4-5
