A Prayer of Confession from Acts 9:1-20 (the Conversion of Paul)

A Prayer of Confession for Christian Adults

Eyes-open God,
You see us always,
Breathing threats and murder against your kingdom.
Hot, angry breaths.
Full of the power of our own authority to lead our own lives,
With arrogance enough to ask,
"Who are you, Lord?"

We think we know sometimes
But how often we forget.

Forgive us, Lord. We are a sinful people.

Lift us up from the ground,
As we seek to belong to the Way.
Your way, not ours.
Your power, not ours.
Your kingdom.
Your will.
Yours eyes.

Thank you
for your gift
of sight.

--Timothy Dyck
