Prayer of Confession Dear Heavenly Father, we lower our heads before you and we confess that we have too often forgotten that we are yours. We ask for your help, your power, your Spirit, so that we can amend our lives and grow more each day into the image of Christ. Sometimes we carry on our lives as if there was no God and we fall short of being a credible witness to you. For these things we ask your forgiveness. Give us clear minds and open hearts so we may witness to you in our world. Remind us to be who you would have us to be regardless of what we are doing or who we are with. Hold us to you and build our relationship with you and with those you have given us on earth. Amen.
