Prayers of Confession on Performance

Gracious Father, too often we base our worth on our performance. We believe if we do well, your love grows, and if we falter, your love lessens. Our God, how far this is from the truth. We confess our desire to earn your love rather than receive it as a free gift. Teach us to receive your unconditional love so that we might be ready to love others as you love us.

Faithful God, we confess that we try to carry more than you ask and work hard to have our way. Help us to see and believe your goodness. Help us to lean into you and to trust that your strength will hold. Then, may our lives be a picture for others of you are faithful love.
