Prayer of confession
Almighty God,
Creator of the heavens and earth,
we confess that we do not always live into
the message of hope and salvation,
the promise of eternal life.
We live in ways that make the here and now
more important than the future.
We live in ways that put ourselves and our own success first
over the needs of others and the long-term needs of the world.
Forgive us for our selfish ways and call us into the path of Christ,
who humbled himself and gave himself up for us on the cross,
so that death might be no more
and that all can share in the joy of salvation and eternal life,
through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
