Confession and repentance · Confession and returning
People busy in ministry can also grow cold, doing many things while having spent a long time without quiet nearness to the Lord. This returning prayer asks him to renew the heart so that following springs from love again. Revelation 2’s reminder to Ephesus presses us to examine our first love seriously; Psalm 51 helps us acknowledge that God himself must renew a clean heart. The song’s invitation for the Lord to govern within can express willingness to surrender to his sovereignty. At retreats, first remember Christ’s self-giving love, then leave the congregation time for quiet confession and prayer, considering one choice in life needing to be entrusted to him afresh.
