CONFESSING OUR SINS (31)
From Daniel 9
O Lord our God, you brought your people out of slavery with a mighty hand, and made for yourself a name which endures to this day:
We have sinned, we have done wrong. O Lord, hear:
O Lord, forgive!
In keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger from your people. O Lord, hear:
O Lord, forgive!
Our sins have made us despised by those around us. O Lord, hear:
O Lord, forgive!
We do not come before you because we are righteous; but because of your great mercy: O Lord, hear:
O Lord, forgive!
O Lord our God, do not delay
but send your Holy Spirit
to revive your church,
because your people
bear the name of Christ. Amen.
