  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: want to remind you today that your sins, your mistakes
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: are not greater than God's grace. Let's pray, y'all. Father God,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, we come before you today
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with open hearts asking you to search us. God, examine us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Reveal anything in us that's not pleasing in your sight. Lord,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: your word declares in 1 John 1 and 9, if
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we confess our sins, you're faithful and just to forgive
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So, Father,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we thank you that we don't have to hide from
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you when we've fallen short. We don't have to pretend
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to be perfect when we made mistakes. We don't have
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to run away from your presence because of our failures.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We can come boldly before your throne of grace, confess
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: our sins and receive your mercy. Lord, forgive us for
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the things we've done that we knew were wrong and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: forgive us for the things we failed to recognize. Forgive
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: us for the words we spoke out of anger, the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: thoughts we entertained in secret, the attitudes we allowed. to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: take root and the moments when pride, jealousy, bitterness, or
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: unforgiveness controlled our hearts. Forgive us for the times we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: knew what was right, but we chose what was convenient.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: My God, forgive us for the times we judged others
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: while ignoring our own shortcomings. Forgive us for the times
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we allowed fear, frustration, or selfishness to lead us instead
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of your spirit. Father, we don't want to become comfortable
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: with the very things that separate us from your best
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for our lives. Give us hearts that are quick to repent,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: humble enough to admit when we're wrong and willing to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: make the changes necessary to walk in your righteousness. And Lord,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: when the enemy tries to use our past to condemn us,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: remind us that conviction draws us toward you, but condemnation
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: tries to drive us away from you. Your mercy is greater.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: than our mistakes. Your grace is greater than our shame.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Wash us, Lord. Cleanse our hearts. Renew our minds. Purify
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: our motives. Break the patterns that keep pulling us backward.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Give us the strength not only to ask for forgiveness,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but to turn away from the things that wounded our
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: hearts and harmed others. Your word declares in Psalms 51 10,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a right spirit within me. That is our prayer today. Father,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: don't just change our circumstances. Change us. Don't just forgive
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: our actions. Transform our hearts. Thank you that our worst
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: mistakes don't have to become our final chapter. Thank you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that repentance opens the door for restoration, that forgiveness brings freedom,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and that your love continues to call us closer to you. Oh, today, God,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we receive your forgiveness. We release our shame. We surrender
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: our pride in God. We choose to walk forward in obedience, humility,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and gratitude. Lord, thank you for loving us enough to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: correct us. Thank you, Lord, for forgiving us when we repent.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord, for giving us the grace to begin again.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen, amen,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and amen.
