Prayer of Confession

CALL TO CONFESSION

Let us confess our sin to our God,

trusting that God’s steadfast love endures forever.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of heaven and earth,

we give you thanks for sending us Jesus Christ

in your name. 

Even though we profess to follow him,

we confess that in times of trial we too often deny him. 



Forgive us and heal us, we pray.

Help us to put our faith not in the princes of this world,

but only in the Prince of Peace.  

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS

It is the Lord who helps us; who will declare us guilty?

Because of the grace we received in baptism,

we have nothing to fear.

Forgiven and freed,

let us share the peace of Christ with one another.
