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 devote ourselves to our temporary concerns more than the eternal salvation of our neighbors (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).

We confess that we frequently fail to treat our worship and discipleship as matters of imperishable value (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).

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
