Corporate Confession of Sin

Merciful Lord,

No one who does evil deserves to stand with you. So often we acknowledge you with our lips while our hearts are far from you. We often question your judgment and we wonder if you are truly holy and righteous as you say you are. Have mercy on our superstitions, our lusts, and carelessness with the reputations of others. We are in need to be refined by you and cleansed from our sin.

We thank you that you do not change. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever - forgiving iniquity and atoning for our sin through the blood of Christ. We thank you for sparing us your just and righteous wrath, all because Christ has fully paid for our sins. Please strengthen us to walk closely with you and to serve you without any regret all of our days. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
