Corporate Confession of Sin

Lord God of all the earth,

You made us in your image, but we are prone to think of you as made in ours. We have desired to make a name for ourselves, but we should only desire your name to be magnified. We have been guilty of pride and unbelief, we have failed to think your thoughts after you, we have neglected to see you in our daily lives. When we stand before you, we should be punished. Please forgive us.

We bless you, O Lord, for the gospel! Thank you that none of the accusations against us will stand because of Christ. Thank you that we have been washed, justified, and sanctified. Purge from us every false desire, every wicked aspiration, anything contrary to your Law. Rule us completely by your Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord we pray, amen.
