Prayer of Confession Reading #3

[Betty]

    
      God, you are our loving parent.
      When we have asked, you have set us free
      with your inheritance of love.
      Yet we have squandered that love, and we seek your forgiveness.
      Forgive our prodigal ways.
      Welcome us home with a renewed sense of worthiness,
      that we might not judge ourselves or others.
      Liberate us to forgive and to love your world
      fully and completely.
