DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS [from GREATER ATTENTION: LERW, YEAR D]

The Lord Jesus Christ is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you. For though he was crucified in weakness, he lives by the power of God; and though we too are weak in him, yet we will live with him, again, by the power of God. Therefore, let everything be done for the sake of building up one another in faith, in truth, in love. Do nothing wrong, but do what is right, for those who walk the way of Christ cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth, as they grow in the love and the Spirit of Christ toward perfection. Know then that, by the grace of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven and free to persevere in faith.

Prayer of Confession [from WHEN HEAVEN STANDS OPEN: LERW, YEAR B]

Holy God, we confess that we live unclean lives among unclean people. Unless you touch us we are lost, unless you save us we are condemned. Yet you have declared that your purpose in sending Christ Jesus is not for condemnation, but for our salvation, and this salvation is not only for us, but for the whole world.  Free us, O God, from our countless fears. Forgive us, O Lord, for our tendency toward the flesh. Impart to us your Holy Spirit, that Christ might be formed in us for your glory and majesty and honor!

Prayer of Confession for Trinity Sunday (Year A)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION [from LIGHTNING FROM THE EAST: LERW, YEAR A]
Holy God, your goodness is revealed to us in countless ways, but above all in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead; yet we confess we have been slow to believe, selective in our obedience to Christ’s authority, and sluggish in fulfilling your commission to baptize and teach the nations. Forgive us for our doubtful, halting ways, and our failure to recognize your constant presence and your authority over all things. Restore to us a clear sense of your purpose for us, that we might render you steadfast, reliable service, for the glory and the pleasure of our triune God.
