CONFESSING OUR SINS (37)
From 1 Corinthians 13 (variant)

Let us confess our lack of love, and our need of forgiveness.

When we lose patience and when we are unkind:
O God, have mercy on us.

When we are envious and when we are rude:
O God, have mercy on us.

When we are proud and when we are selfish:
O God, have mercy on us.

When we are irritable and when we will not forgive:
O God, have mercy on us.

Help us not to delight in evil,
but to rejoice in the truth;
help us always to protect and trust,
to hope and persevere
until we see you face to face,
and learn to love as you love us;
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
