Becoming Like Jesus
Romans 12:1-2
Rev. Jennifer Cronk
May 11, 2025

Prayer of Confession

All: Holy Father, You are gracious in calling us to Yourself. You are the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and the Almighty God, worthy of our lives. And just like Jesus called out His disciples to come and follow, He invites us to follow him, die to self, and live with Him. Yet, we fail to hear and heed His call. We stop up our ears to pretend not to hear Him. Forgive us for believing that we are too busy to abide with you. Forgive us for trying to steer our lives where we think we should go, rather than submitting our lives to you. Restore the joy of our salvation—Christ Himself—and help us follow Him in the power of Your Holy Spirit.
(Silent Confession)
Leader: We celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice, which cleanses us from guilt and shame.
All: We praise you, Jesus, for never leaving us and always leading us. Amen.
