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 often fail to diligently pursue wisdom as the means You use to increase our joy in You (Proverbs 2:1-11).

We confess that we are slow to cultivate wisdom as the means You use to deliver us from temptation and sin (Proverbs 2:12-22).

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.
