Corporate Confession of Sin

Most merciful God,

We confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed by what we have done and by what we have left undone. Our sin deserves your righteous judgment. We deserve to be punished along with the rest of the nations. Sin is blinding. Sin is darkness. Sin imprisons all who give themselves over to it. We have foolishly sinned against you in so many ways. We plead with you, in Jesus’ name, to forgive us our sin. Remember your everlasting Covenant of Grace toward us with Christ, and cleanse us from all our iniquity.

We thank you for always being merciful to us your people. You will never shut us out or bring us down to ruin. Restore to us the joy of your salvation, and uphold us that we may continue to walk in your ways.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
