Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection
[Unison] Saving God, we confess that we often have not waited patiently for You. We have preferred to sing our own song, to go our own way, and to put our trust in idols, institutions and individual strength rather than trusting You. We confess that it is easier to bring You sacrifices and offerings, rather than offering our lives to You. We search for delight in all the wrong places. We keep quiet about the ways we have experienced Your love and presence, and we fail to invite others to come and see You, the source of life and love, at work all around us. Forgive us, God. Abide in us until Your new song of hope and redemption pours from our lips, and Your love is shared in our words and deeds. Amen.
