Confession\u00a0 (unison) Cathy S. Walters
\nO mighty God, our hearts are troubled and our minds are in confusion.\u00a0 We have separated ourselves from your peace by attempting to shape our own path in the forest of life.\u00a0 But we have found that path to be lonely.\u00a0 We have stumbled and fallen and with humility we cry to you.\u00a0 Hear us once again.
\nSilent prayer
\nThank you God, for allowing us yet another chance to walk the true path where the light is good and the friendship is warm.\u00a0 By your grace our guide awaits us.\u00a0 O mighty God, we remember our lonely path and we rejoice in your mercy.\u00a0 AMEN<\/p>\n
