Corporate Confession of Sin

O Lord,

We confess we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed. So often when we open our eyes, we envy those above us or despise those below us. We often covet the honor and riches of those who have much, and we are proud and unmerciful to the those who have less. Beauty is often a bait to lust. So often slander and vain words creep into our hearts. All of our transgressions and shortcomings accuse us day and night. But we thank you so much that their accusations will not stand because all of them have been laid on Christ.

We praise you for forgiving our sins and cleansing us from all unrighteousness. Let not the passions of our flesh nor the lustings of our minds bring our spirit to submission to them. Instead, please rule over them all freely by your power. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
