Call to Confession
Christ our Lord was tempted in the wilderness and knows all our trouble and weakness. We therefore have courage to confess our failings and our sins, knowing that the God of Jesus Christ will hear and forgive us.

Prayer of Confession
God of mercy, we confess that we too often satisfy our own desires before we think of others; we take needless risks that endanger ourselves and those around us; we look for power in the wrong places and fail to let you rule in our lives. Help us to turn away from all that keeps us from worshiping you alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Words of Assurance
Jesus dismissed the tempter and walked from the wilderness toward the glory of the cross. Let us rejoice this day in Jesus’ glorious victory through his death and resurrection. In Jesus’ name we are forgiven.
