Prayer of Confession

"                                                                               
   Father forgive us. Our memories have failed us and our hearts have not quickened us to remembrances of Your son and the price He paid for our salvation. Forgive us for ignoring Your sacrifice and leading a life of indulgence that is often anything but sacrificial.      
                                                                                 
We often do 'good works' in our power with such frenzy that we do not seek Your heart and face and do not ask Your counsel. We become ridden with anxiety and forget Your promise that You are building Your church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.      
                                                                          
Now, please help me to fix my mind on You, the Author and Perfecter of my faith. Help me to put my complete trust and hope in You and You alone, and forgive me when I do otherwise. Help me, Father, to place myself at the foot of Your throne knowing Your love and provision for me are incomprehensible. May Your glory and renown be my soul's purpose and my heart's true desire.

                                                                                                                                                               "
