PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Charlotte Peterson
Holy God, we have before us the path that you have given.
More than that, Lord, we can see this path clearly because of the light
You have shined upon it.
And yet, we stray. Forgive us.
And yet, we lose ourselves in anger. Forgive us.
And yet, we wound and injure others. Forgive us.
Have mercy on us, we pray, and forgive us our brokenness and our pridefulness.
We ask this in the blessed name of the One who is to come, Jesus, our Christ.
