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 fail to trust in Your unchanging sovereignty and faithfulness as kings and kingdoms rise and fall (Daniel 7:1-12).

We confess that we don’t live as more than conquerors in Christ who will receive the kingdom forever and ever (Daniel 7:13-18).

We confess that we mistake our suffering for judgment or faithlessness on Your part (Daniel 7:19-28).

We confess all of 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.
