Pentecost - Prayer of Confession

by Jamie Barnes on May 21, 2010

Almighty God,

to you all hearts are open, all desires known,

and from you no secrets are hid.

You send us the Spirit of courage,

but we have been afraid.

You send us the Spirit of truth,

but we cling to our illusions and lies.

You send us the Spirit of healing,

but we cannot let go of our hurts.

Holy Spirit of forgiveness, come to us again:

shake our hearts,

set our souls on fire with your love:

Help us to rejoice in your power and live in the love of Christ Jesus, The Son.

In His Name we ask, Amen.
