Confession: Holy God, we come before you with humility, we do not live as we ought. We do not love you with our whole mind and strength. We do not love our neighbor as ourselves. We pray that you change our hearts and our minds. Show us how to love others the way you love us. Put courage in our hearts to do your will. Amen.
