Confessional Litany
Toàn bộ: God, you loved us so much that you sent your Son Jesus to live among us, to make a way for us into your eternal presence, to remove any barriers between us and you. The promise is great, and we want to live in the fullness of that love. Yet too often the limits of our own confidence are not enough. Forgive us in our fear.
Một: When we want to relinquish ourselves to you but are afraid to give up our control,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When all we can see in our future is brokenness and despair,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When we neglect to look at the stranger as one with the Christ within,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When we fail to approach you because our estrangement seems so complete,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When our resignation to terror replaces our ability to love courageously,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When we mistake difference for threat,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: When we hear your voice saying “Fear not,” but perpetuate distrust,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: For those un-named places in each of our lives that create distance from you,
Toàn bộ: Forgive our fear; remove it from us.
Một: We wait humbly, patiently, expectantly for your assurance in the face of our fear.
