PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of night and day, there is no shadow that can conceal our sin from you and no secret that you will not bring to light. For our reveling and overindulgence, forgive us, O God. For our debauchery and licentiousness, forgive us, O God. For our quarreling and jealousy, forgive us, O God. Renew us in love, and teach us to live in a way that brings honor and glory to you. We continue to pray in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession)
