O King of Glory, we confess that our praise of Your majesty has often been faint, our performance as citizens of Your kingdom, treasonous. For we have surrendered to the enemy by our secret and our known sins. For our treason You died, Lord Jesus. For our restoration, You rose again. Draw us closer to You in this Holy Week, that our eyes may catch the vision of Your tears, and our hearts, the wonder of Your grace. By the Holy Spirit’s continuing discipline, let us be loyal and loving servants of the King. Praise be to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, You have said where our trust should be placed. You have declared that is only in You where our hope and help is found. And yet, we allow our walk through life to throw us into confusion. We abandon the one who we are meant to follow. We start the race but look for every short cut along the way. We place our hope and give our devotion to temporal things that do not satisfy. Forgive us for the many ways we turn to other things and not to You. Have mercy on us and enable us to run the race well. Cast aside our sin and carry us to the finish line so that we may see Your face in this life and in glory.
