Confession\u00a0 (unison)
\nHoly and awesome god, we stand in your presence filled with regret for our many short comings.\u00a0 Though there is greatness in us and a deep longing for goodness, we have often denied our better selves and refused to hear your voice calling us to rise to the full height of our humanity.\u00a0 For there is weakness in us, as well as strength.\u00a0 At times we choose to walk in darkness, our vision obscured.\u00a0 We do not care to look within, and we are unwilling to look beyond at those who need our help.\u00a0 O God, we are too weak to walk unaided.\u00a0 Be with us as a strong and wise friend, and teach us to walk by the light of your truth. AMEN
