Living Water Confession

Loving God,

We know you are the source of life,
a permanent spring,
the reliable place to find new strength
and refreshment for our spirits.
But sometimes we search elsewhere
and try to find our life in things that
will only make us thirstier.

Forgive us, loving God.

Holy Spirit, you are here always
a constant companion
leading us
like a creek to the ocean
to the places you want us to be.
But we don't always listen out
for the sound of you
and try instead
to find our way alone.

Forgive us, Holy Spirit.

Lord Jesus, you call us by name
and command us to go
and share our story
of the gifts we have found
And sometimes we
hoard our precious water supply
instead of sprinkling it lavishly with others.

Forgive us, Lord Jesus.

Loving God, Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus,
Thank you that your forgiveness and love
washes over us and makes us new each day.
Refresh our hearts again.
Amen.
