call to confession / declaration of forgiveness: mind over matter

submitted by Rev. Scott Cervas, Meadowthorpe Presbyterian Church, based on the epistle reading, Romans 7:15-25a.

We know what is good,
but we often do what is not.
So please join me in the prayer of confession…

(insert prayer of confession here)

Listen to the good news!
Though we know what is good,
and often do what is not,
God frees us from our guilt
so that we might be renewed
to accept our potential as part of God’s very good creation.
So let’s sing and give thanks to God!
