PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of resurrection power, You promise that what is sown in weakness will be raised in strength, and that what is mortal will put on immortality. Yet, we confess how often we live bound by fear, discouragement, and doubt. We cling to what is fading Instead of trusting in what You are making new. We define ourselves by our limitations, our failures, and our wounds, rather than by Your promise of transformation. We resist the slow work of Your grace, impatient with the ways You are shaping us. Forgive us, Lord. Teach us to trust that You are not finished with us. Help us to live as people of the resurrection—hopeful, courageous, and steadfast. Transform us by Your Spirit, so that even now we may reflect the life of the risen Christ. We pray in His name, who will one day make us fully new. Amen.
