Corporate Confession of Sin

Dear Merciful Savior,

We thank you that we have been freed from sin and death. However, we acknowledge that we still have the flesh. We do not understand our own actions. For we do not do what we want, but we do the very things we hate. Now if we do what we do not want, we agree with the Law, that it is good. So now it is no longer we who do it, but sin that dwells within us. We find that when we want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

Who will deliver us from these bodies of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! For the sake of his name, forgive us for all that is past. Forgive us for all we have done, and all that we have left undone. Empower us by your Holy Spirit to serve your Law with our whole heart. Through Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
