Corporate Confession of Sin

Most Holy Lord,

We confess to you that we have not ordered our relationships rightly. We often put earthly relationships ahead of our heavenly family. We often treat our closest neighbors like enemies. With our tongues we bless our Lord and Father, but with it we curse people who are made in your likeness. We place our own fleshly desires above your perfect glory.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
