      Corporate Prayer of Confession

Heavenly, holy Father, we have sinned against you, through our own fault, in thought, and word, and deed, and in what we have left undone. For the sake of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, forgive us all our offenses. As adults, we have grown slack in discipling our children in your ways. We disregard their important role in Your Church. We try to be adult and figure You and the world out, forgetting to rest in You as children do, and receive from You. As children, we disobey our parents, fight with our siblings, and follow our selfish desires, instead of seeking to serve You in our families. Forgive us for forgetting You when we rise up, and for failing to mention You to others when we lie down. Please forgive us through the work of Christ on our behalf…
