Prayer of Confession
Gracious and generous God, we confess to You this day that we tend to envy the gifts You give to others and can too easily take what You have given us for granted. We marvel at the talents and abilities of others while burying our own abilities out of fear of failure or rejection. Forgive our faithlessness, and replace it with a boldness to claim our passion and abilities that will result in Your glory. This prayer we offer in the name of Jesus, even as we continue our confessions in silence‌
