prayerofconfession
god of mercy and power, just as david ran to the battle and engaged the giant, grant that we would be bold in facing what threatens us. too often we dwell on our fears. Forgive us and fill us with faith. So many of our problems seem large while our view of you is stunted and small. Forgive us and renew our vision of who you are. Fill us with the confidence that comes from knowing that our struggles have already been won in Jesus. We look to him alone in faith and trust as we continue to offer our silent prayers of confession…
assuranceofgod’sforgiveness
*affirmationoffaithfromtheScots Confession, 1560 Written in 1560 when Scotland was declared a Protestant nation
following the death of Mary Queen of Scots, the Scots Confession set forth an unconditional commitment to the triune God, to the Scriptures and to the Church which was to be marked by preaching of the Word of God, right administration of the sacraments, and proper discipline of church letters.

When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers; The moon and stars suspended in space. Oh, what is man, that you are mindful of him?
You have given man a crown of glory and honor, And have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: The beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. But what is man, that you are mindful of him.
O Lord, our God the majesty and glory of your name Transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God, little children praise you perfectly, And so would we. Alleluia, Alleluia! The majesty and glory of your name. Alleluia!
