A Prayer of Confession - for Christians

Most Merciful God.

We confess our great sins before you.

What great atrocity have we not committed and benefitted from in the founding of our great nation.

What great sins have we tolerated and allowed in the forming of our great churches

How great the arrogant words, attributed to you, that we shout from our great platforms of condescension.

How great our lack of love for those we fear and those who need.  

How great is the number of our own who we have greatly wounded.

We humbly confess and repent.

May You in Your loving kindness so greatly transform our hearts that we may be saved from our pride and fear in order to live lives of great love, with gratitude and generosity

Amen.
