Corporate Prayer of Confession
Gracious and most merciful Father, you have granted us all things necessary for life and godliness. Yet we too often wallow in pity, lament things lost that will not last, and overlook our many sins. Our great God, we come to you to confess our many sins, to plead the merits of the precious blood of your dear Son and our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. We long to see our lives transformed, our faith strengthened, and our desires purified by the work of your Holy Spirit. Grant us to walk by faith in the newness of life the Lord Jesus purchased for us by his full and completed work on the cross. Through the merit and satisfaction of Jesus. Amen.
