Corporate Confession of Sin

Lord God of Heaven and Earth,

            We admit that we have not upheld your holy name as you deserve. We profess to want to follow all that Jesus commands, yet we so often follow our own sinful desires. We claim to love your holy Law, but we daily fall short in conformity to it. We often live like the world in thought, word, and deed. We confess that the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of us.

            Have mercy upon us, O God. Apply the blood of Christ to every one of our sins. Help us to know that we are forgiven, and assure us that we are your children no matter what. We thank you for giving us the Spirit of adoption. Cause us to walk in your statutes with joy and zeal. Through Christ we pray, amen.
