temptation. But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

THE LAW OF GOD – The Fourth
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Adapted from Matthew Henry]
We have sinned
against you, O Lord, our Maker, our Defender, and our Redeemer. Our
natures are corrupt and sinful; prone to fall away from you, sluggish
to do good and swift to do evil. Vain thoughts have come upon us and
found lodging within us, defiling and disquieting our minds, and
keeping out good thoughts. We have burdened ourselves with that care
which you have commanded us to cast upon you. We have failed in our
duties one to another, and have provoked one another as much to folly
and anger as to love and good works. We have been cold in our love
to you, weak in our desires toward you, unsteady in our walking with
you, and are even at this time poorly prepared to serve you. We
beseech you--Forgive all our sins, for Christ’s sake, and be at
peace with us in Him Who died to make peace and lives to make
intercession for us. Amen.

Heidelberg Catechism Question 1
Q: What is your
only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not
my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to
my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins
with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of
the devil. He also preserves me in such a way that without the will
of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all
things must work together for my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy
Spirit He also assures me of eternal life and makes me heartily
willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
