PRAYER OF CONFESSION

"Lord, you have searched us & know us. Even when we want to do what is good, we often fail to do it; instead we do what we hate. Sin & warring impulses struggle within us. Forgive us, gracious God. Enable us to surrender our burdens to you & find rest in your forgiveness & grace. Teach us to take up our cross & walk with you on the path that leads to happiness & peace. Amen."

Taken from the Westminster Presbyterian Church service.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

"O God, many things scream for attention in our lives. They distract us and lead us away from you. Forgive us, Lord, for allowing lesser things interrupt our life of prayer and discipleship. Help us pursue you and your Kingdom above all else. We ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus, to whom we belong. Amen." - from service at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Middletown, NJ.

RELUCTANCE

"Reluctance is the product of our selfish nature."

"If obedience is the product of a selfless heart, 

then reluctance or hesitation is the product of a selfish heart."

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

"God of grace, your Spirit dwells within us guiding us 
in the ways that lead to life and happiness. We confess that 
in many ways we turn our backs on you and 
the beautiful path that leads to life. 
O God, forgive us, renew us and inspire us 

that our hearts may burn with desire to love you more 

than we love this world of shadows and dust. Amen."
