CONFESSING OUR SINS (4)
From Nehemiah 9

O Lord our God, the great, mighty, and awesome God, gracious and merciful:
forgive us and restore us
for your name's sake.

You keep your covenant of love - you have acted faithfully, while we have done wrong. Lord, gracious and merciful:
forgive us and restore us
for your name's sake.

We did not follow your commandments or pay attention to your warnings. Even while we were enjoying your great goodness we did not serve you, or turn from our evil ways. Lord, gracious and merciful:
forgive us and restore us
for your name's sake.

Because of our sin, our happiness is taken away - our enemy rules even our souls and bodies, and we are in great distress. Lord, gracious and merciful:
forgive us and restore us
for your name's sake. Amen.
