A New Prayer of Confession

PRAYER of CONFESSION
Even as we sing your praise, we grow in our awareness of the hurt we cause the world. Like any good parent, you gave us freedom to grow and the freedom to become fully human but you also gave us parameters. You asked us to tend your garden and we have instead dominated it. We have allowed our greed to overwhelm our common sense. We have allowed our arrogance to overrun our mandate to care for the earth. Only even now are we beginning to understand the damage we have done. Forgive us God!
--Rev. Joe Stobaugh
