worshipped by people in every land on this planet. Today we humbly approach You
in prayer and seek to honor Your deeds by rejoicing in Your love. You have called
to this sacred place and brought us into Your Holy Presence. We are honored by
Your favor and blessed by Your grace.

Lord, we confess to thoughtless acts and careless deeds. We have set aside Your
ways and followed our selfish aims. At times, we have disregarded Your perfect
counsel and made our own sinful decisions. We are guilty of neglect,
indifference, pride, and stubbornness. We regret the mistakes that we have made,
so we confess our faults to You alone.

Eternal God, thank You
for hearing our prayers and forgiving our sins. Through the precious blood of
Jesus, Your Holy Son, we have been reclaimed to Your Kingdom and restored to
Your Blessing. We make our confessions in Jesus’ Name and through His precious
words, we continue to pray, saying,
“Our Father… THE LORD’S PRAYER” (debts/debtors)

always. Amen.
