Repent and Return, a prayer of confession

ONE VOICE: Joel 2:13
Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful

ALL:
We drift away from our true home
We forget we are Your beloved
We forget we are not God
Rend our hearts, O God, as we repent and return

ONE VOICE: Joel 2:13
Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful

ALL:
We succumb to the temptations of money, sex, and power
We ignore the cries of our sisters and brothers
We focus only on ourselves
Rend our hearts, O God, as we repent and return

Time of silent…
