PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison) Merciful God, whose
ways are not our ways and whose thoughts are not our thoughts, we confess to
you our sin. We have not loved you with
all our hearts nor our neighbors as ourselves.
Forgive the wandering of our minds and aimlessness of our lives. Forgive our sins and restore in us a right
spirit that we may love you and serve you.
In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
