PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, hear our prayer:
For the mending of our hearts, torn apart by our unkindness;
For the healing of our souls, wasting away from the despair around us;
For the forgiveness we seek for the sin we have allowed to persist;
For the reconciliation of the world, whose division condemns us;
We pray for the courage to admit our fault, The strength to amend our actions,
And the hope that your grace awaits us. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
