“Lent is a season of preparation and repentance during which we anticipate the death (Good Friday) and resurrection (Easter Sunday) of Jesus. It is this very preparation and repentance – aimed at grasping the intense significance of the crucifixion – that gives us a deep and powerful longing for the resurrection, the joy of Easter.” – Will Walker
As we walk through this season of Lent together as a church family, I will be posting a simple daily prayer of confession for you to use as a prompt for your own prayers of confession. The spiritual practice of daily confession of sin is a vital one for me. I hope these daily posts can help you form a similar practice of forsaking sin and embracing Christ’s mercy that is far, far greater than our sins!
Day 16
Lord, I praise you for the great mercy and patience you extend toward sinners. Instead of judging by the appearance of righteousness, you see the heart. Like the tax collectors and prostitutes who left everything to follow you, I too long to forsake my sin, to walk with you, and to obey you.
