Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection)
[Unison] Eternal GOD of mercy, hear us as we confess our sin. Daily we awaken to the new life you give us, yet we fail to be thankful for the rest of what we have received. Moments await our decision to serve you, yet time passes away as we think only of ourselves. Our routine affords us the chance to minister to others, yet we are absorbed with our own self-improvement. The day is soon passed, it has been much the same as the others. Forgive us for casting aside the precious time you give us each day. Father, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and by your grace may we walk in new life. Amen.
