Confession

God, I confess I am comfortable with the explainable and am drawn to those paths that are familiar to me. It is easy to trust you for yesterday and in ways I have seen you work.

Confession

Jesus, I confess I am a hypocrite at times. My actions don’t always match my confession. I call you Lord, Lord and I never want you to question that based on my actions. I desire a life of genuine faith and not selfish hypocrisy. Help me to follow you always, in the good times and the bad, in the chaos and calm. Knowing that you are always working in my life for my good and for your glory. Amen?
