Prayers of Confession on Encouragement

Heavenly Father, we confess that we are not always able, willing, and ready to be vessels of your work.  Thank you for the times that you cultivate our receptive hearts and fruitful hands. In your abundant mercy, sow in us seeds of your love, your grace, and your truth.  Encourage us with your Holy Spirit, so that we are more and more prepared to receive and live your word.  We pray these things in the name of Jesus, your living word, who grants our forgiveness.  Hear our prayers as we continue our confession in silence…
