Prayers of Confession
Heavenly Father, we become so busy in our daily routines, we forget to present our daily prayers to you.
Forgive us when we forget, when we become too busy to seek you.
You have given us so many ways to remember you, to come into your presence.
Forgive us when we backslide, when we don’t approach you first, when we think we have the power to solve life’s problems,
By the grace of Jesus Christ we are empowered.
We pray that, as by continued grace we are forgiven, we will continue to remember thy blessings. Amen
