We are repenters. We who are passionate about living as “repenters” who have
tasted the goodness and grace of God and can never be the same again.
2. We repent of making God out to be more like us, and so we
ask God to change our hearts and make us more like Him.
3. We repent of our silly attempts to justify ourselves before
God and make ourselves pleasing to Him through our own efforts, and so we ask
Him to save and sustain us in His unwavering grace and help us rest in Christ’s
work on our behalf.
4. We repent of our hypocrisy and self-righteousness, and so we
ask God to deliver us from double mindedness and help us seek His righteousness
above all.
5. We repent of valuing most what other people think, and so we
ask God to help us value most what He thinks.
6. We repent of withholding areas of our life from God’s
command, and so we ask God to invade and overcome every part of us – our hopes,
our desires, our dreams, our thoughts, our actions – and show us how to love Him
and love others from a whole heart.
7. We repent of seeking a life of ease and comfort, and so we
ask God for the courage to pick up our crosses and follow Christ no matter the
cost.
8. We repent of all the good things we have failed to do, and
so we ask God to open our eyes to the opportunities for us to shine His light
in a dark world.
9. We repent of serving ourselves and our own interests, and so
we ask God to empower us to serve others in the name of His Son.
10. We repent of taking pride in our own repentance, and so we
ask God to remind us that salvation is all of grace and to humble us before the
cross.
