So we begin our worship this morning as we call to mind our sins and
ask God for his forgiveness:
Confession
Lord of all creation, forgive us for the times we have ignored your
teachings and wisdom. Help us to listen to your word and live by it each
day. Lord in your mercy,
All: Hear Our Prayer.
Lord of all creation, forgive us for the times we have ignored those in
need around us. Help us to become more aware of the needs of others.
Lord in your mercy,
All: Hear our Prayer.
Lord of all creation, forgive us for the times we have ignored your will
for our lives. Help us to trust you and follow you more each day. Lord in
your mercy,
All: Hear our Prayer.
Lord of all creation, forgive us for the times we have ignored the needs
of seafarers and have taken them for granted. Help us to remember the
vital work they do in ensuring that we have our daily needs. Lord in
your mercy,
All: Hear our Prayer.
God our loving Father, forgive us our sins, keep your word alive in us
and help us to know your peace and forgiveness in our lives each day.
Help us to be a people who trust and follow you wholeheartedly as we
live for you each day. Amen
