Our Response
Confessing our Sins:
Heavenly Father, we confess that we have failed to seek you with our whole heart. We have been halfhearted in our love for you, in our service, even in our worship. You have commanded that your precepts be kept diligently, but we have not been steadfast in them. We therefore deserve everlasting shame. So we plead for your steadfast love now, looking to the Savior who served you with his whole heart in his earthly ministry. We thank you that you count his obedience to our account. With the greatest humiliation for our sins, we praise you that you will never forsake us. We ask for transformation in Jesus’ name, amen. (Based on Psalm 119:1-8)
