This week we will confess together the following prayer:
Dear Father, We confess that you are a great God, There is none holy like the LORD, there is no rock like our God. You are a God of knowledge, and by you actions are weighed. You kill and bring to life; you make poor and make rich; you bring low and you exalt. Forgive us for withholding your due praise. Forgive us for our pride, and the arrogance that comes from our mouths. Help us to rejoice in who you are and what you have done. Though you have shown us so much grace and mercy, we have desired more. We have hoped to use you for our selfish gain. We also confess that we are slow to remember that you will redeem us. We look for dramatic changes in our lives, and despair if we find none. Help us to see that you are at work even though it may not be apparent.
Draw us to rest in your promises, and give us patience that we would trust that though the Holy Spirit’s work may seem slow, it is sure. We come to a God who will complete the work he has begun in us. We come to a God who will raise up his people, who has already raised up a faithful priest, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are his sure house, purchased with his blood. We plead for the forgiveness of our sins in his name. (Based on 1 Samuel 2)
