CALL TO CONFESSION
For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength...”
Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are those who wait for him.”
Isaiah 30:15, 18
PRAYER
Merciful God, I admit that I have sinned against you in my thoughts, words, and actions—both in what I have done and what I have failed to do. I haven't loved you with all my heart, mind, and strength. I haven't loved my neighbors as myself.
In your mercy, forgive, and guide me so I may find joy in your will and walk in your ways, bringing glory to Your holy name. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
