Christmas Confession (Based on Isaiah 9:6)

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And though your name is Wonderful Counselor...

I do not seek your wisdom; instead, I depend on my own smarts and schemes.

Though your name is Mighty God...

I do not depend upon your strength; instead, I am timid and chicken-hearted.

Though your name is Everlasting Father...

I do not believe you want the best for me; instead, I believe the Deceiver--who lies about your character.

Though your name is Prince of Peace...

I do not rest in your peace; instead, I crave more money and more stuff.

Forgive me I pray. O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
