Confession of Sin
Almighty and everlasting God, we bow before You in repentance for our
sins. We have sinned against You in many ways, most of which are
unknown even to us. Forgive us for bad attitudes that offend You, for
remarks that hurt You and others, for when we have forgotten to call
upon You and help us to live our lives in the way that will please You.
This we pray, thanking You for Your great love for us in Christ Jesus our
Lord, Amen.
Absolution
By the authority of God’s Word and by the command of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I declare to you that God, through His grace, has forgiven all
your sins; in the Name of God the Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
