Confession of Sin
Heavenly Father, You are wise and holy, and all Your judgments are just. We humble ourselves today under Your mighty hand, confessing that we are a proud and hypocritical people. Like the Pharisees, we love to project the external appearance of righteousness, while inwardly we are ravenous wolves. We are satisfied when the outside of our cup is clean, yet care nothing for the approval of our Sovereign Creator who alone is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. We confess our hypocrisy as sin and repent of it. For the sake of Your dear Son who suffered and died so that we might have life, cleanse us from all ungodliness and deceit, grant us truth in our inmost being, and help us from now on to walk in the honesty and humility of a renewed life. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
