Confession of Sin
Almighty God,
You are perfectly holy, righteous, and pure. You are the God of all truth. You know everything about me, down to the deepest corners of my heart. I humble myself before you, admitting my sin and my guilt. In the light of your purity, I am unclean. In the blazing fire of your holiness, I am defiled. I confess my sinful deeds, my impure thoughts, my evil desires, my hurtful and careless words. I have loved and served created things more than you, the creator. I have sought to please myself more than you. Oh lord, I have wandered from you, but you have brought the prodigal home. In your overflowing grace, wash me and cleanse me from my guilt and shame. Clothe me with the best robes. Bring me into the banquet hall. I know I am not worthy in myself, but you have made me worthy in Christ. Grant me joy and security and confidence in my relationship with you, knowing that I am accepted in the Beloved. Cause your Holy Spirit to live inside me, transforming me, working on me, burning away the dross, and making me more like you.
