PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Most Gracious and Most Merciful God, we confess to You and to one another that time after time we have entered Your Presence with countless prayers but with hearts thathave been closed to Your Grace. We have lifted our hands to You in praise, but our feet have still walked in the ways of evil. We have rehearsed Your Commandments but have refused to see Your Face in the needs of our neighbor. We pray, Lord, that You forgive our lack of faith and pardon our acts of injustice. Grant us the healing that comes from Your Presence and the cleansing of Your All-Powerful Word, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON (Isaiah 44:21-22, NRSV)Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you, you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me. I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.
