Gracious and Merciful Father,

We come before you to confess our sin as Your redeemed and beloved children. May Your Spirit alone convict us of our sin and remind us of our pardon in Christ through repentance.

We confess that we tend to live by fear rather than trusting in Your steadfast presence and walking in wisdom (Proverbs 3:21-26).

We confess that we frequently envy the success of others rather than cultivating wisdom so that we can generously love our neighbors (Proverbs 3:27-35).


We confess these things before You because You are faithful to forgive us in Christ. Bless us with the assurance of our pardon by Your Holy Spirit in Christ alone by faith alone through Your grace alone from Your Word.

Amen.
