Prayers of Confession for Trinity Sunday
Listen and Act
ONE:
Joseph is silent
He listens and acts
ALL:
Lord, help us listen
Still the noise around us and in us
Still the urgency and anxiety
Still the destruction and falsehood
Lord, help us listen
Break through with your still, small voice
with your calm and clarity
with your leading and light
You reveal the needed next steps
You provide all we need to make the journey
Lord, help us listen and help us act
Amen

(Prayers of Adoration)
Holy, Holy, Holy – Father, Son and Holy Spirit: three times holy:
We love you – though we struggle to fully comprehend You.
We follow you – though we don’t know where you might take us.
We praise you – though we see only glimpses of your glory and wonder.
We trust you – because You’re worthy of our belief, trust and faith.
(Prayers of Confession)
Yet, we admit there are times our love, obedience,
praise and trust leave much to be desired.
Too often our love’s only a passing feeling and not a lasting action;
we obey only when it’s convenient;
our praise is limited to when things are going well
and our trust is more in ourselves than in you.
Forgive us, as in the quiet we tell only you
what we’re too ashamed to say before anyone else. (silence… )
