- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:08Speaker 1: I was thinking, so often we praying about this, and
- 0:11Speaker 1: we praying about that, and sometimes we just need to
- 0:14Speaker 1: pray that God would heal us from the decisions that
- 0:19Speaker 1: we've made that have hurt us, the consequences from the
- 0:23Speaker 1: things that we've done. Hmm. Gracious and merciful Father, in
- 0:29Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you today,
- 0:32Speaker 1: humbled and completely honest before you, acknowledging that some of
- 0:37Speaker 1: the wounds that we carry we caused ourselves. There were
- 0:41Speaker 1: moments when we didn't wait on you, times we acted
- 0:45Speaker 1: out of fear instead of faith, seasons when our choices
- 0:49Speaker 1: were guided by pride, pain, or in patience. Lord, we've
- 0:53Speaker 1: made decisions that hurt us, and in some cases they
- 0:57Speaker 1: hurt other people too. But even now, in the aftermath
- 1:01Speaker 1: of our mistakes, God, we thank you for being the
- 1:04Speaker 1: God of mercy, the God who restores, the God who
- 1:07Speaker 1: takes broken peaces and makes something beautiful again. Father, right now,
- 1:12Speaker 1: with the name of Jesus Christ, we ask for your
- 1:14Speaker 1: forgiveness for every time we've leaned on our own understanding
- 1:19Speaker 1: instead of trusting your direction. We ask you to heal
- 1:23Speaker 1: the places in our hearts where regret has taken root,
- 1:27Speaker 1: where shame has whispered lies that say we're too far gone.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Remind us, Lord that your grace is greater than our guilt,
- 1:36Speaker 1: and your mercy is stronger than our mistakes. God, we
- 1:39Speaker 1: also pray for those who were affected by our decisions,
- 1:43Speaker 1: our loved ones, our children.
- 1:45Speaker 2: God, Where our.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Words cut deep, God, bring healing where our choices caused
- 1:51Speaker 1: confusion or pain, Bring peace. God, Soften the hearts God,
- 1:56Speaker 1: that were wounded as a result of the things that
- 1:59Speaker 1: we've done.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Your love flow into.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Those spaces where our actions fell. Sure, God redeemed the relationships,
- 2:06Speaker 1: restore what was broken, and right new beginnings over the
- 2:10Speaker 1: places where we fell. Father, in the name of Jesus,
- 2:14Speaker 1: we surrender the what if. We surrender the should have,
- 2:18Speaker 1: could have? Would us the only ifs at your feet.

- 2:27Speaker 1: how to make it a part of your divine plan.
- 2:29Speaker 1: You are the God who makes crooked places straight, who
- 2:33Speaker 1: brings beauty out of ashes, who uses even our failures
- 2:37Speaker 1: as building blocks for our future.
- 2:40Speaker 2: So teach us, Lord, teach.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Us to learn from our mistakes instead of living in
- 2:45Speaker 1: those mistakes. Teach us God to move forward and wisdom
- 2:48Speaker 1: and humility and compassion. Let the pain of our past
- 2:52Speaker 1: decisions become the wisdom of our next steps. God creating
- 2:56Speaker 1: us a clean heart, ever new, the right spirits. God
- 3:01Speaker 1: washed away the residue of regret. Fill us God with
- 3:06Speaker 1: your peace, God, that peace that goes beyond our human understanding,
- 3:10Speaker 1: That peace God that comes from being.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Made hole by You and Lord.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Help us forgive, yes, others who have wronged us.
- 3:18Speaker 2: But God, help us to forgive ourselves.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Sometimes that's the hardest part. Help us to see ourselves

- 3:27Speaker 1: and restored. Help us to remember that the same grace
- 3:30Speaker 1: that saved us is the same.

- 3:39Speaker 1: every moment we wish we could take back. We lay
- 3:42Speaker 1: it at the cross right now, and we declare that
- 3:45Speaker 1: the blood of Jesus covers it all right now. Heal
- 3:50Speaker 1: our hearts, God, heal our memories, God, heal our relationships.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Turn every scar into a testimony of your forgiveness and
