Prayers of Confession
God, I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart, I have not loved my neighbours as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. Amen.
Adapted from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer
Oh God, I have hurt others, and I have been hurt. I have presumed upon others, and I have been presumed upon. I have taken others for granted, and I have been taken for granted. I have dishonoured others, and I have been dishonoured. As I receive your forgiveness for my wrongs (it helps to name them), I extend forgiveness to others who have wronged me. Thank you for your mercy and forgiveness. Amen.
Jesus, my sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what my lips tremble to name and what my heart can no longer bear. Set me free from a past that I cannot change. Open me to a future in which I can be changed, and grant me grace to become more and more like you. Amen.
