Pure and Holy Triune God, We confess this day that we have failed in various ways to uphold your law. Particularly, we have shrunk away from sharing the gospel. We confess that even our zeal for evangelism has at times been mere posturing. Our fear of rejection and persecution, of ridicule and mockery has given us pause. We have not […]
A Prayer for Evangelism
Corporate Confession of Sin: Ps 119:161-168
King of kings and Lord of lords, you stand above all princes and rulers. Forgive us for ascribing power to others above you. We have been fearful of the persecution of princes when we ought to stand in awe of you and your words. Yet we thank you for giving us your word as an anchor for our souls in […]
Confessing Sin, using Ps. 119:153-160
Gracious God, we call on you for forgiveness this morning in all humility. We deserve the wages of sin, all the afflictions of this life plus everlasting torment in hell. We have not sought you and obedience to your rules as we ought, so we plead that you would redeem us from sin and affliction. Give us life! “Great is […]
Prayer of Confession: Ps 119:145-152
“With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD!” We cry out to you for help this morning as those who are small and despised, who have experienced the misery of sin. Save us from our sin.

Corporate Confession of Sin – Ps 119:137-144
Righteous LORD, your rules are right and good. You are utterly faithful in your righteousness, consistent and proven. We confess that we have sinned against you, and are unrighteous without your mercy and forgiveness. We should be like you, yet our righteousness is inconsistent. Our love for you is hot and cold, not perfectly faithful. Forgive us for the sake […]
Corporate Confession from Ps. 119:129-136
Wonderful God, with grief and hatred of our sins we come before you now. You have given us many kind gifts, yet we have belittled them. We have not grasped how great you are, and have praised you far less than you deserve. Forgive us, and help us to experience what the Psalmist says: “The unfolding of your words gives […]
Psalm 119:121-128 Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father, we come to you this morning asking forgiveness for our many sins. Our world is full of lies and we are threatened by them. Our adversary the devil is the father of lies. The people around us have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worship created things. Forgive us for believing lies. You never lie, […]
Confession from Psalm 119:113-120
Holy God, We confess our sinfulness today. We have been double-minded, and we plead now, “we believe, overcome our unbelief.” Enable us to love your law and hope in your word. Thank you that you are our true hiding place and shield, delivering us from the evil of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We confess that we have […]
Ps 119:105-112 Confession of Sin
You are light, God, and there is no darkness in you whatsoever. Sadly, we confess that the same cannot be said of us. We have walked in the darkness, sinning against you in word, thought, and deed. Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, but we have stumbled about because we loved our […]
Ps 119:97-104 Confession
Holy, Holy, Holy, God, we confess that, as Jesus charged, we have loved darkness rather than light. We are still tempted to love the wrong things, and the result is sin. Our adoration of lesser things means we have given little thought to you and to your Word. Change our affections so that we love you and your law. Give […]
