Dear Father, we live in a cynical age among-st people who will not hope in your word nor your works of providence in the world. As Christians, we confess that we often look to our own miseries and trust the cynicism of the experts and political pundits rather than you, in whose eternal covenant we have perfect hope and purpose in this life. Father, we confess the sin of unbelief and the sin of laziness that we do not train our minds to be renewed by your word that our hearts may be at peace. Help us to believe you and trust you as we obey your word in all of it's promises and precepts. Thank you for the knowledge that our Savior, who lived and died to redeem us is also the King who is restoring all of the cosmos. You are faithful. Help our unbelief.

Confession of Sin:
Father, You alone are Holy and Righteous. We are those who have squandered your gifts. We have the best privileges of sitting under the preaching of your word, access to the truth and the guiding of the Holy Spirit. How ungrateful we often are. How vague are our confessions of sin. How many excuses we make and how we avoid your correct. How little we go to you in prayer. We act as though we don't need your strength because we don't value your glory. Father, forgive us and make our confessions sincere and specific. Help us understand the ongoing need for Sanctification. Help us see ourselves as Kingdom people who have been given specific purposes and a place in life. Help us love you and your law, looking to your Son, King Jesus, in and through whose life, death and resurrection we live.

He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
