Prayer of Confession Merciful God, we are a people afraid of risk. We too often seek the known and safe path, which prevents us from trusting You and discovering the work of Your Spirit. Forgive our reluctance, and help us to trust You each day. This we confess, along with our private admissions offered in silence…
