Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Eternal God of Grace, your will is made known to us through the teachings of the saints, through your holy word, and through the action of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Yet we respond with indifference and disobedience. You command us to love, but we allow selfishness, pride, and fear to control us. We depend on human understanding, instead of trusting you. Have mercy on us and forgive our shortcomings. As we seek you, may we find you and draw near to your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
