Iniquity in Unbelief

Posted on Saturday, April 23, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father of all nations, we confess that we are conceived in sin, and formed in iniquity. We confess that the central iniquity is that of not trusting and believing You, and so we have sought to fashion our own importance out of the brief moments we have in this life. We measure ourselves by ourselves, …

Like a Toddler With Blocks

Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father of all nations, we confess that we have found it too easy to trust in our horses and chariots, and not in You, the one who bestows military strength, and the one who takes it away. We confess that we have forgotten that You are the only one who establishes thrones and empires, and …

Not National Boundary Lines

Posted on Saturday, April 9, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father over all nations, we confess that it too easy for us to see everything from our own vantage, and to do so in a way that justifies ourselves. Together with many men, we flatter ourselves and say that as a nation we have no sin. We confess this to you. We also have a …

Our Own Glory

Posted on Saturday, April 2, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father over all, we confess that as nation we have pursued our own glory, and we have not pursued righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, or gentleness. We confess this failing to You with grief, and we ask You to restore us again. We pray that we would repent of our self-sufficiency, and that we would …

Spiritual Bone Cancer

Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father in heaven, we know that rottenness in the bones is not simply a consequence of sin, but is the sin itself. When we are not being honest with You, we are trying to hide sin, or spin it, or explain it, or otherwise manage it. We confess to You that as a nation, we …

Propitiation or Wrath

Posted on Sunday, March 20, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Gracious Father, You are the one who sent Jesus Christ into the world, to be the propitiation for our sins. And yet, Father, we have tried to claim that we do not need this propitiation, which leaves us under Your righteous and holy wrath. Have mercy on us, we pray.

The Grace of Human Sexuality

Posted on Saturday, March 12, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father in Heaven, You are the one who created us male and female, and it was one of Your great gifts to us. We confess to You now that our nation has fallen into a great confusion about this. We no longer even know what marriage is, and we have raging political debates over what …

Free and Full

Posted on Sunday, March 6, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father of all mercies, we ask You to forgive us in accordance with all Your mercies, and not in accordance with what we deserve. We confess to You that as a nation, we have wanted to earn some measure of our standing before You, and so we ask You to pour out upon our people …

Idolatry As Idolatry

Posted on Saturday, February 19, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father God, Almighty God, we come before You now as citizens of a nation that has sought out many high places, and which has bowed down before many idols. We confess this sin of our people to You, and ask You to be merciful. We ask You to grant a great reformation, with the result …

Discarding the Word

Posted on Sunday, February 13, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Father in Heaven, You are the Father of all forgiveness, and we come before You representing a nation that has ingloriously discarded Your Word with regard to the honor that is due our fathers and our mothers, and our grandfathers and grandmothers. Father, we have sought to build communities out of materials that You never …
