*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord, you are a God who keeps promises. In our prayers and songs we say that we want to be Christians, but then we forget our promises. Our actions do not match up with our words. We say mean things to other people, we hurt their feelings, we think of ourselves first, and worst of all, we ignore you. Lord, forgive us and hear our prayer for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
