Confession of Sin

Confess your sin to God:

Almighty God and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws. We have left undone things which we ought to have done, and we have done things which we ought not to have done; there is no health in us. But you, Lord, have mercy on us, miserable offenders. God, spare those who confess their faults. Restore those who are repentant, according to your promises declared to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grant, merciful Father, for his sake, we may from now on live a godly, righteous, and humble life, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

Confession of Sin

Confess your sin to God:

Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
