Prayer of Confession - Unstop our ears!

by Jamie Barnes on December 29, 2009

Lord God, Creator of all -
You have spoken to us but we have shut out your voice.
Your word convicts us of our sin and our brokenness.
But we have tried to drown you out with the noise of this world.
We would rather hear our own named praised among men rather than the name of Jesus. We prefer telling people about our petty accomplishments rather than speaking of your righteousness.

Lord, forgive us. Correct us.
Build in us a longing for your comforting voice.
Give us a thirst for your satisfying Word.
Give us joy in speaking your truth
to those that have not heard it.
May your church be faithful stewards

Is there one (or more) line(s) missing at the end? It seems to end abruptly and there’s no punctuation following “stewards.”
