Prayer of Confession
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden; we confess that we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, and have offended against your holy laws. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 8:10–11
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen
