WORSHIP THRU CONFESSION

“Confession”

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of my heart by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that I may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

If I say I have no sin, I deceive myself, and the truth is not in me. But if I confess my sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive my sins and purify me from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

Prayer of Confession

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our
whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have
been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall
be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

“Forgiveness”

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has had mercy upon you, has given his only Son to die for you, and for his sake forgives you all your sins. To whoever believes in Jesus Christ, he gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit.
Amen
