Corporate Confession of Sin

Most Gracious Lord,

You give us life and breath and all things, but we confess that do not give you the glory due your name. More than that, you have given us spiritual life. Apart from your Holy Spirit, we would not want anything to do with you. Therefore, we lament that we do not obey your Law perfectly; it is the least we could do for you, and we fall miserably short. And who can discern his errors? Declare us innocent of hidden faults. Keep back your servants also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over us.

We thank you for the finished work of Christ and the continual sanctification of the Spirit. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts and the conduct of our hands be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our Rock, and our Redeemer. Amen.
