Oh LORD let my soul rise up to meet you, As the day rises to meet the sun. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. CONFESSRead Romans 10:9. Practice the art of confession. Say: I confess to almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters, That I have sinned through my own fault, In my thoughts and in my words, In what I have done, and in what I have failed to do, And I plead the blood of Jesus for my forgiveness. Take time to confess to God or to others either out loud, in a prayer journal, or in silent prayer. If someone speaks a confession out loud to you, listen patiently and assure them of Christ's forgiveness. Conclude by speaking the truth of forgiveness: LORD Jesus, through your cross you have forgiven us, and we have new life in you. TELL THE STORYRead aloud Matthew 28:1-8.
