• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning. It is time to go to God in prayer,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and as always I ask that you join along with
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: me in prayer. I had a listener to call me
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the other day and she was just kind of sharing
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: our heart with me, and I could tell she was
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: heartbroken by a fence and hurt from people that were
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: close to her. You know, one of the most powerful
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: things she said is that you're not responsible for what
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: somebody did to you. You're responsible for you and your actions.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Nothing is more true. You are responsible for you. God
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: requires you to walk in love regardless to what somebody
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: else has done and or said to you. And I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: can't stress enough forgiveness does not mean what they did
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to you is okay. It doesn't, But you're making the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: choice that you're gonna let that stuff go, that you're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: gonna do things God's way, Father, God of all mercies, God,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we stand before your presence, God Father, seeking your health
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: concerning our hearts. You said in your word, and when
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: we stand praying forgive if we have any aught against anyone,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that our Father, which is in heaven, may forgive us
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: our trespasses. But if we don't forgive, neither will our
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: heavenly Father forgive us our trespasses. God, we need to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: be forgiven, and we hold the keys to being forgiven
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: by You if we forgive others. So now, Lord, we're
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: coming to you asking God for your help. We find
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it so hard to let go of the hurt, the pain,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the offense. And we know God, there's an evil force
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: encouraging us to seek revenge or do something horrible and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: response to those who have hurt us. But Lord, please
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: help us to resume control of our thoughts, of our hearts,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and bringing into it alignment with You, so that we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: can easily forgive others and graciously move on with our lives. God,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we're reminded of your words. The heart is to seeful
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: above all things and desperately wicked. Lord, our prayer is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: focusing on our heart because we recall your word in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Samuel the per in first Samuel. For the Lord does
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: not see the way men sees. The men observe the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: outward appearance and make their judgment from that point. But Lord,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you always look at our hearts. We don't want to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: walk in on forgiveness and bitterness with an unclean eye.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We're torn in a day and night by the relentless
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: spirit of offense and unforgiveness and vindictiveness. God, we also
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: realize that no matter how much we pretend not to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be this way, God, you judge our hearts, You know
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: our hearts. God, we're asking you to create in us
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a clean heart, renew the right spirit in us, restore
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the joy of our salvation, and uphold us with your
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: free spirit in Jesus' name, Amen,
