Here’s
a prayer of confession from the First
Christian Church of Decatur, Georgia.
Call to Confession
Beloved,
God responds quickly to the choices we make.
Our
actions have consequences
in
our relationships with one another and God.
Whether
we want it to or not,
our
choices and deeds influence God’s responses and actions.
Repent,
turn away from evil, believe in the Good News,
and
do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Prayer of Confession
We
thank you, Lord, for making us in your divine image.
We
are also deeply grateful that you are like a potter,
shaping
and molding us like clay on a spinning wheel.
Hear
our confession of sin and wrongdoing.
Transform
us with your grace.
Like
the psalmist who sought cleansing and pardon,
we
ask you to “create in me a clean heart, O God,
and
put a new and right spirit within me.” Amen.
