[8] PRAYER OF CONFESSION & WORDS OF ASSURANCE | JOHN 3:16-17

God of grace, you have given us Jesus,
the light of the world.

We love belonging to you and being yours.
But we confess we still know what it means:
to choose darkness,
to cling to things that hide the brightness of your love,
to turn in on ourselves
and embrace our own ways instead of yours.

We offer you now these words to express:
our desire for forgiveness,
our longing to leave the darkness behind,
our heartfelt prayer to be new
and our hunger to walk in your ways.

Please help us to see again your glory,
shining in the face of Jesus your Son.
In his name we pray, amen.

‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.’
