Prayer of Confession
Holy God we come before you a broken people in a broken world.
We confess we have often ignored your presence.
We have forged our own paths and charted our own waters.
In the name of independence we have ignored your aid, your comfort, and your peace.
We have called upon you in desperation
rather than recalling your mighty and faithful acts in all times and places.
Forgive us.
Be with us even now. Amen
This prayer speaks volumes to me. I find myself distracted more often than I would like with the things of this Earth and not the things of my God. I find it is so easy to slip away; to undo the discipline I need to stay the path of Jesus. Oh and I do catch myself doing this and feeling neglectful but at the same time feeling that need to challenge my Lord. I am not worthy of Him and yet He continues to love me and lift me up. Sweet Father God, please continue to lead me back to you when I stray. In your loving arms is where I am happiest.
