Confession

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you with our thoughts and actions. We are guilty of bringing prayers of request without listening to your words of direction. We want you to bless our plans without hearing your plans for us. Please forgive us. We ask that your Holy Spirit would calm our hearts and help us listen patiently for your words, so that we may share with our community your message to us all. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
