  Speaker 1: Good morning. It is time for us to go to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: God in prayer, and as always I asked that you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: join along with me. You know, I was talking to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: somebody last week and he was just sharing with me,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you know, share, I have missed up so bad. You
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: don't even understand the things that I've done. And he
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: felt that he had just messed up so bad in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: his life that things could not be repaired or restored,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and that God didn't want to hear from him because
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: he knew the way, and then he fell away. Well,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I reminded him of the word of God in First
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: John one nine and ten's where it says if we
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: us of our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: If we say that we have not sinned, we make
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: him a liar and his word is not in us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And then I reminded him of what the word of
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: God said in Micah seven nineteen and how God will
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have compassion on us, and that He's going to throw
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: all of our sins into a sea of forgetfulness and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: he won't remember them any more. Oftentimes we don't forgive
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: ourselves for messing up. I encouraged him that God's grace
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was sufficient, and I asked him the question that today
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you. Do you honestly think that you've
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: done something so bad that the God that created the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: universe can heal that he can't forgive, that he can't
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: fix or repair. Not only can he do it, he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: wants to do it in your life. He wants to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: restore you, he wants to heal you, He wants to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: make you whole. The story of the Prodigal's Son is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a great story of God's love and his redemption for us.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It talks about how the father ran out to meet
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: his son. That's what God is saying to you. He
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: has his arms open wide stretched for you and for me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He's running out to meet us no matter how much
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we've messed up or fallen. Father God, in the name
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, thank you for your love, your unconditional love
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that covers us. You love us despite our failures and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: our mess ups. Thank you for your mercy that's branding
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you every morning. Thank you for your grace, that unmerited favor,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that thing we don't deserve. But you love us so
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: much that you give it to us any way. Thank
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you so much for the redemptive work of Christ on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the cross. He died so that we could live. He
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: died for the forgiveness of our sins. So Father, we
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: thank you, We receive your forgiveness. Your grace is enough.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We come to you, God, and we confess our sins
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to you, knowing that you are faithful and just to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: forgive us and cleanse us of every single solitary sin. Father,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we give
