OFFICE OF THE KEYS/CONFESSION — SEPTEMBER 16–30
Jesus gave the office of the keys to the Church through His Apostles. Confession
has two parts. First that we confess our sins, and second that we receive the
forgiveness of our sins.
Rejoice in the gifts of Confession and Absolution as you pray:
16. That God would lead all sinners to repentance.
17. Confess your sins before God. Trust that God forgives your sins through Christ Jesus.
18. Thank God for your pastor and all pastors. Pray that God would grant them faith and strength in their Word and Sacrament ministry.
19. Thank God for corporate confession and absolution each Sunday.
20. Thank God for the opportunity for individual confession and absolution with your pastor.
21. Thank God for the vocations He has given to you. Pray that you serve Him and your neighbor faithfully each day.
22. Pray for all unbelievers, that they would repent and trust in Christ.
23. Pray for all who are caught in unrepentant sin, that they would humbly confess their sins and receive holy Absolution.
24. Pray for the Spirit to empower you to amend your sinful life, that all you think, say and do would please God.
25. Thank God for the Church. Pray that the Church remain faithful to the preaching and teaching of God’s Word and the administration of the Sacraments according to God's will.
26. Pray for those who have stopped attending church. Ask God to provide someone to share Christ with them and bring them back.
27. Pray for Christian parents, that they would model forgiveness and raise their children in the Christian faith.
