+Father,
+
+We, all of us here, were born as rebels against you.
+Though you have redeemed many of us here today, we still fall short of the life
+modeled by your Son.
+Our hearts and actions fall short of his love.
+
+We are rash to make commitments and often fickle in following through.
+We have hurt one another with carelessness and unnecessary words.
+We have failed to care for the harm we cause or fail to make amends.
+When we are sinned against, our hearts can struggle eek out the forgiveness
+that you have bountifully lavished on us.
+
+We have set our hopes in created things.
+We have turned your gifts that you meant to lead us to you into curses that
+lead us away from you.
+We set our hearts on stories, games, and gadgets.
+Our hearts are enamored with these things before any action reveals it, and we
+often fail to steer our hearts toward their deeper delight in you.
+
+We have been prideful.
+Even the good is often done in efforts to glorify ourselves apart from you.
+We think much of our image before others.
+
+We have not properly numbered our days to apportion them to your purposes.
+We do not treat our tasks as if they are from you.
+We strive for ends that you have made futile and vain.
+We strive to be placed well in a creation that is passing away, rather than for
+the new creation that we do no yet see, as if we do not believe you that there
+will be a new creation.
+
+But you are faithful when we are not.
+You will bring the new creation and deliver us from these bodies of death, from
+the flesh that serves sin.
+Until that time, please continue in patience with us.
+
+We ask this in the name of your righteous Son, Christ Jesus.
+Amen.
