Almighty God, from You comes every good and perfect gift. You pour out on all who desire it the gift of grace and supplication. Deliver us, as You draw close to us, from coldness of heart and wandering of mind. Grant us steadfast thoughts and inspired affections with which to worship You in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer of Confession (unison; adapted from Psalm 51)
God, be merciful to me because of your faithful love. Because of your great compassion, erase all the wrongs I have done. Scrub away my guilt. Wash me clean from my sin. I know I have done wrong. I did what you said is wrong. You are the one I have sinned against. I say this so that people will know that I am wrong and you are right. What you decided is fair. As difficult as it is to admit, I was born to do wrong, a sinner before I left my mother’s womb. Remove my sin and make me pure. Wash me until I am whiter than snow! Don’t look at my sins. Erase them all. God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again. Don’t push me away or take your Holy Spirit from me. Your help made me so happy. Give me that joy again. Make my spirit strong and ready to obey you. I will teach the guilty how you want them to live, and the sinners will come back to you. My Lord, I will open my mouth and sing your praises! You don’t really want sacrifices, or I would give them to you. The sacrifice that God wants is a humble spirit. God, you will not turn away someone who comes with a humble heart and is willing to obey you. Amen.
