Corporate Confession of Sin

O Great Shepherd,

We confess that we have no excuse for our sins. Even when we are taught to sin by others, we are responsible for our own sins. We are not immune to selfishness and greed. We ignore the needs of others when it is in our power and ability to meet them. We are not as compassionate as we ought to be. We are harsh and not gentle. We have allowed ourselves to be taught wrongly so many things from your word. We all like sheep have gone astray. Forgive us we pray.

We thank you that Christ is the Great Shepherd of the sheep; that he laid down his life for us that we may live. Turn us back from our wanderings, back from our stubborn wills, back from our carelessness. Guard us from sin and the paths of unrighteousness by your grace that we may dwell with you forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
