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 6:22–23

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
