Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
Time for Silent Personal Prayer and Reflection
(Unison) Loving GOD, You love us and have a plan and purpose for us. We struggle with our purpose in life. We have drifted through life without a defined purpose. Turning away from You, from Your guidance and from Your teachings we have followed our own path. While You have a powerful plan and purpose for each of us, we have neglected to follow it. Too many times we have tried unsuccessfully to follow our own plans. Forgive us for not trusting You with our life. Forgive us for not trusting You with the mighty plans that You have for us and our church. Forgive our weak faith which, has only led to our decreased distrust in You and for Your plans for us. Today, we pray, lead us into a future free from sin and ready to serve. For it is in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we pray for forgiveness. AMEN.
