Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
O Lord, be mindful of your mercy and of your steadfast love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me. For your name’s sake, pardon my great guilt. Instruct me in your ways. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart. Consider my distress and forgive all my sins. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
