Prayer of Confession

God of grace and God of glory, we confess to You this day that as thankful as we can be for the blessings of this life, we can too easily take You for granted. We hold our relationship with You close, keeping it private, thinking we cannot be bold in You. Forgive our spiritual reserve, and help us to have the courage of Jesus. We offer this prayer in His name as we continue our confession in silence…

Milestones
