Confession and Prayer Prayer of Confession: Psalm 25, adapted To you, O Lord, we lift up our soul; in you we trust, O Lord our God. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame. Show us your ways, teach us your paths, guide us in your truth and teach us, for you are God our Savior, and our hope is in you all day long. Remember your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of our youth and our rebellious ways; according to your love remember us, for you are good, O Lord. For the sake of your name forgive our iniquity, for it is great. Look upon our affliction and our distress and take away all our sins. Guard our lives and rescue us; let us not be put to shame for we take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect us, because our hope is in you. Redeem your people, O God, from all their troubles! Silent Prayer and Confession Minister: Amen. Assurance of Pardon: Psalm 103 Response: “In Christ Alone”
