PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Our Father in heaven,

In this difficult season which you have ordained, we acknowledge that our greatest need is to be humble and still before you, to turn from our sin and to hunger and thirst after Christ and His righteousness.

Yet we confess that our tendency is to seek comfort in earthly things, neglect the gift of prayer and to become superficial in our thinking.

Forgive our unbelief, we pray, and help us to “discern this time” and to number our days that we might get a heart of wisdom. Fill us with Your Spirit, that we might live distinct, fruitful and God-glorifying lives in all the days to come.

For we ask all it in the name of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ,

Amen.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Most holy and merciful Father, we acknowledge and confess in your presence that we have a nature that is prone to evil and slow to do good. You alone know how often we have sinned, even in the last week - in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, in forgetting your love. O Lord, we are ashamed for every way in which we have displeased you, and we ask you to have mercy upon us. Teach us to hate our errors, cleanse us from our secret faults, and forgive our sins for the sake of your dear Son, our Saviour. And, O most holy and loving Father, please, we pray, send your purifying grace into our hearts, that from now on we may live in your light and walk in your ways in obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.
Amen.

HYMN 568  |  Praise!

Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God’s own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all his mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.


God has called you out of darkness
into his most marvellous light;
brought his truth to life within you,
turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
that God’s name be glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.


Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God’s heart of love;
but he brought you home in mercy,
citizens of Heaven above.
Let his love flow out to others,
let them feel a Father’s care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.


Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people he intends;
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfil your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer;
give your lives in joyful service –
sing his praise, his love declare.

But we confess that our lives are often a poor reflection of all that He describes in the sermon on the mount. Instead of mourning over sin, we have been casual and complacent about it. Instead of hungering and thirsting for righteousness, we have preferred to chase after that which brings instant gratification. Whereas we are called to be pure in heart, we have allowed ourselves to be drawn towards that which is impure. Please have mercy upon us and forgive our many sins.
