Corporate Confession of Sin

Our Father in Heaven,

We confess that we have often been unwilling to do the things you command. You have called us to be witnesses to the ends of the earth, but we have often chosen to not testify. We have feared what others think of us more than we fear your Name. We have often trusted the words of man more than we have trusted the wisdom of your Scriptures. We deserve your anger to be kindled against us.

We humbly repent and ask for your mercy. We thank you for the blood of Christ that cleanses us. We thank you for the renewal of the Holy Spirit. Use our ransomed lives in any way that you choose, to the glory of your great name, amen.
