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 forsake Your historical warnings, offered mercy, and covenant love as if we were not Your people (Hosea 1:2-9).

We confess that we frequently doubt Your faithfulness to Your covenant promises to preserve Your people for Your glory (Hosea 1:10-11).

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.
