CONFESSION OF SIN
“Our God and Saviour, We come before you today as foolish sheep whose natural inclination is to wander far from you. You have set your love upon us, chosen us, and saved us, but we find it hard to trust you and often choose instead to run to our own wisdom and understanding. You lead us in green pastures for your own name’s sake, but we reject the feast that you lay before us and try frantically to fill ourselves up with things that cannot satisfy. You lead us by still waters to restore our souls, yet we recklessly dabble with strong currents of temptation and are easily swept away by torrents of sinful cravings. Have mercy upon us, we pray. Create in us a pure heart and renew a right spirit with us. Forgive our many sins and lead us in the everlasting way, in Jesus’s Name, Amen.”

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
