Our Response
Confessing our Sins:
Heavenly Father, we confess that we deserve you to withdraw your Word from us. We know that you withdraw blessings that have been despised, and we have not hallowed your Word as befits the righteous. As Amos threatened, we deserve a famine of the hearing of the Word of the Lord. We have been inattentive to your Word, even though it is a light unto our path, even though it revives our souls and enlightens our eyes, even though it rejoices our hearts. We have found serious consideration of your word difficult, and have run from your statutes as they reveal our faults. We have not meditated on your law day and night, as the Psalmist exhorts. Even when we have heard your Word, too often it has not taken root. James’s warning is true of us: we fail to be doers of your Word, but are hearers only. We plead that you would be merciful to us through Jesus Christ. Your promises give us confidence even as our hearts condemn us, for we know you have promised we will never hunger nor thirst, for Christ is our bread of life and living water. We will never wander searching for you, our God, for your Spirit dwells in us and will never depart from us. We thank you for your mercy and mourn for our sins, longing for transformation, praying to the Father, in the Son, by the Spirit, Amen. (Based on Amos 8:11-14)
