Corporate Confession of Sin

Most Holy Lord,

We confess that we often prefer the fleeting pleasures of sin than to bear the reproaches of Christ. We prefer to identify with the world than with your own people. We often quarrel and fight with our fellow Christians, our own families, and with those who lead us. We confront sin in others with harshness, rather than gentleness. And we hate being confronted ourselves. We often minimize, deflect, and blame others while we know that we are in the wrong. We are often so blind to your grace and deliverance whenever our sin is exposed.

Forgive us, we pray. Help us to see that acknowledging our sin to you is freedom, and that turning from our sin is life. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and lead us again on a level path to yourself. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
