*God’s Greeting

Confession and Renewal:

Prayer of Confession:

“Lord, you showed us true humility by becoming one of us,

yet too often we practice pride.

You cried alongside your friends and for the city of Jerusalem,

yet too often we rush past the pain of others and are careless about our cities.

You loved those who were weak, despised, or cast out,

yet too often we love those who are strong, respected, or popular.

You freely forgave and healed,

yet too often we hold grudges and cause pain.

You lived a perfectly holy life,

yet too often we do not yearn for righteousness.

You prayed that we who believe in you should be united with each other and you,

yet too often we focus on the differences that separate us from other believers.

You were mocked, whipped, and even killed for us,

yet too often we deny you.

You call us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world,

yet too often we blend into or hide from our culture.

Forgive us, Lord, so that we will shine with your glory. Amen.”
