*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.

is on our side;
my greatest concern is to be on
God's side, for God is always right.”
