*Prayer of Confession

           

Merciful God,

            we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart.

            We have failed to be an obedient church.

            We have not done your will,

            we have broken your law,

            we have rebelled against your love,

            we have not loved our neighbors,

            and we have not heard the cry of the needy.

            Forgive us, we pray.

            Free us for joyful obedience,

            through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
