Pastor Karla
Prayer of Confession (in unison, followed by silent prayer) Lord Jesus Christ, You used Your hands to heal; to lift up; to bless; to sow kindness and tenderness in desolate lives. Forgive us when we keep our hands at our sides when we could be reaching out in love. Lord Jesus Christ, You used Your hands to bear the burdens of others and to feed the hungry. Forgive us when we use our hands to take care of ourselves without any thought for those who are hungry or overwhelmed with adversity. Lord Jesus Christ, You used Your hands to welcome and to include those who were considered outcasts in the society of Your time. Forgive us when we clench our fists and exclude people simply because they are different from us. Lord Jesus Christ, open our hands and our hearts to love as You loved and to care as You cared. Through Your strength we ask this. (silent prayer) Amen. Adapted from Liturgies Online
