## Prayer
|
||||
|
||||
Our Father,
|
||||
|
||||
We come to you as sinners, inheritors of futile ways.
|
||||
Following our first father according to the flesh, we turned from You and
|
||||
forgot You, cultivating inexcusable ignorance.
|
||||
We are heirs of a sinful nature, of defiled hearts given to corrupt desires.
|
||||
|
||||
Both we and our forefathers have sinned.
|
||||
We insulted You by placing our trust in innumerable idols made of perishable things.
|
||||
The worshipful cravings of our hearts drifted to unworthy objects, rather than
|
||||
the one God that could satisfy.
|
||||
|
||||
We have placed our hope for happiness in money and possessions and family and
|
||||
all manner of created things.
|
||||
We fixate on an age that is passing.
|
||||
Desiring the honor of man, we act boastfully and we devour one another, while
|
||||
forgetting our great hope for the honor that will come at the revelation of
|
||||
Your Son.
|
||||
|
||||
We take little joy in the glories of the mysteries veiled in ages passed.
|
||||
|
||||
We beneficiaries of the great wonder for which creation exists still seek after
|
||||
the cravings of the ignorance from which we are now free.
|
||||
We know by Your Word that we must be reminded not to indulge fleshly passions.
|
||||
We indulge the desires of the natural man, as we neglect the deeper longings
|
||||
that You have awakened within us.
|
||||
|
||||
You have awakened us to tastes for Bread more delectable than creation could
|
||||
ever imagine, but we indulgent people insult You still.
|
||||
We do not glut on the all satisfying glories found in Your Word.
|
||||
We taste, but we do not devour.
|
||||
We do not drink deeply Your inexpressible joys.
|
||||
We settle for the common delights of a fallen creation that was always intended
|
||||
to be less than that to which we are now called.
|
||||
|
||||
Sinful passions pervade our lives, but we come to You now in hope.
|
||||
|
||||
By blood, we are sinners, but the blood of Your Son is righteous and is given
|
||||
as ransom for us.
|
||||
|
||||
We confess now our sin and our hope in words, shortly we will confess again as
|
||||
we partake.
|
||||
Hear our plea, as we again appeal to You again for a good conscience.
|
||||
|
||||
It was for us, for our sin, that the body and blood before us now was broken
|
||||
and shed.
|
||||
And in the presence of this blood, no accuser can stand, and so we come to You
|
||||
now.
|
||||
|
||||
You, oh God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, be Father to us.
|
||||
Help us to turn from the inheritance of Adam, and to Your inheritance, that was
|
||||
secured for us by the precious blood of Your Son.
|
||||
|
||||
It is in the name of Your righteous Son Christ Jesus that that we come to You.
|
||||
Amen.
