Seasons of the Spirit
Congregational Life, Pentecost 1
Mighty
God, we turn our hearts to you and confess
the
times when we have not trusted in your presence and guidance.
Forgive us.
When
we rely on our strength alone,
Forgive us.
When
we are frozen with fear and do not take the action we should,
Forgive us.
When
we fail to stand up for what is good and just in your sight,
Forgive us.
When
we tread on the rights of others,
Forgive us.
When
we forget the needs and hopes of the poor,
Merciful
God, do not forsake us.
Restore in
us a right spirit and trusting heart.
(Time for silent, personal confession) Amen.
God forgives our arrogance
and conceit
and directs our hearts to work for
fairness and equality.
God forgives our fear and hesitation
and strengthens us to act with love and
courage.
God hears our confession and grants us
salvation.
Amen. Let it be so.

peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace be with you.
