Confession

This was the Prayer of Confession at our church a few weeks ago:

"I confess, O God, that our world is not yet the world you have called us to create. There is anger and hardness among us. For my part, O God, I ask your forgiveness... For the times I have declared that I have no prejudice yet harbored it still in my heart, forgive me, O God. For the times I have declared that I did not feel the pain of prejudice yet felt it still in my heart, forgive me, O God. I want to follow you, Jesus, and live in a world that honors your commandment to love one another as we love ourselves. Strengthen me to live this commandment today and always." AMEN
