Covenant Renewal: Confession and Communion

Holy Father, we thank you for your complete rule and reign over our lives and all the world in which we dwell. We thank you that your laws are consistent with your creation mandate and order. We confess that we know that you, who alone are Sovereign, sets up kings and tear them down. We know that you alone can convert the sinner and give faith. In spite of all this knowledge, we confess that we sin regularly in our worry and our covetousness. We don’t pray as we ought. We don’t live freely as though you have power and a plan. We trust in ourselves to act and to refrain from acting. As a result of this, we are self-absorbed in our posture towards you and slothful in our love towards others. Forgive us for our weak faith, lack of love and unbelief, for our unwillingness to entrust ourselves to growth in godliness through daily prayer, abiding, scripture memory, and Bible study. By the power of the Gospel of our victory over sin, the world and the devil, help us live upright lives of discipline, love of you and others. Amen.
