Prayer of Confession and Pardon Inspired by John 4

Prayer of Confession

Jesus, we thirst
We thirst for love and belonging
We thirst for security and provision
We thirst for truth and hope
We thirst for healing for our wounds
We thirst for mercy for our sin, our guilt, our shame

Time of silent confession

Assurance of Pardon

Jesus, you pour yourself out for us and the world
so we may be born again of water and the Spirit,
so we may never thirst again
We thank you and praise you for your eternal blessing and forgiveness.
Help us lead others to the well of your saving love.

Amen
