PRAYER OF CONFESSION unison God of grace, we confess that we are surprised you would choose us to do your work. We do not feel capable or worthy. We are quick to find excuses to avoid discomfort and challenge. Forgive us, Lord. Make us brave for the sake of the good news of your son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, Amen.
