KNOWING GOD’S GRACE
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession based on Psalm 51: 10-12
L: Merciful God, you pardon all who truly repent and turn to you.
We humbly confess our sins and ask your mercy.
We have not loved you with a pure heart,
Nor have we loved our neighbor as ourselves.
We have not done justice, loved kindness,
Or walked humbly with you, our God.
Have mercy on us, O God, in your lovingkindness.
In your great compassion, cleanse us from our sins.
P: Create in us a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within us.
Do not cast us from your presence,
Or take your Holy Spirit from us.
Restore to us the joy of your salvation
And sustain us with your bountiful Spirit
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Assurance of Pardon from Psalm 103: 8-13
L: The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger
And abounding in steadfast love.
P: He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever.
L: He does not deal with us according to our sins,
Nor repay us according to our iniquities.
P: For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is his steadfast love for those who fear him;
L: As far as the east is from the west,
So far he removes our transgressions from us.
P: As a father has compassion for his children,
So the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
