Prayer of Confession

Holy God, Our lives are far from Holy.  Thoughts we have held in secret have erupted into hurtful words and deeds.  We have not avoided lies and slander.  We have given into pessimism and suspicion.  We resent people whose lives seem easier than ours.  We hate the thought of passing on tho those less worthy the things we have worked so hard tp possess.  O God, we need your wisdoms in order to live peacefully within ourselves.  Amen.
