Prayer of Confession

Merciful God, we confess that we’ve sinned against you. Given what’s happening in our world, it’s easy for us to become discouraged and hopeless. Unfortunately, we can allow those feelings to shape and distort our faith in you. Loving Father, we ask that you have mercy on us and help us to appreciate and claim the power you offer.
