Speaker 0Today's title is Forgiveness and Mercy . Oh , that's a big one , pastor Ben . That's an enormous prayer time . Come on , let's jump straight in . And the scripture is coming from 1 John . 1 John , chapter 1 , verse 9 . Verse 9 if we , if we , confess our sins , he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness .
Speaker 0Father , I thank you today that you have forgiven us this day . So , father , as we come to you in this five minute prayer time , spirit of the living god , I thank you that you have forgiven me by the blood of Jesus , lord . I thank you , god , for the cross of Calvary . I thank you for your mercy , your undesirable saving grace over our lives , father , we are blessed and we are rich in you , spirit
of the living God . We thank you that we are saved , that we are rich in mercy , rich in the precious blood of Jesus . Lord , that your mercy , your forgiveness , your saving grace is over our lives . We pray today , lord , that as we have been forgiven , we also will forgive , so , lord , those in our lives , lord , that have caused trouble and hurt and pain . Help us to forgive , lord . Help us to be merciful , as you are to each and every one of us . So today , lord , we pray that you will forgive me of my sins and by your grace and your mercy , father , I thank you that the prayer of forgiveness , lord , releases me , lord , as well . So , father , I come to the cross today and I thank you for the cleansing and the renewal of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ , as we gather around the cross , as we gather around the word for prayer , as we sit , as we be . Still , father , we thank you for the prayer of forgiveness today that is over our lives . We thank you for God's mercy and his grace too .
Speaker 0Father , we pray for forgiving myself and letting things go . Help me , lord , help me , god . Help me , god . That is the prayer , lord , that can be so difficult
as we cry out . Help me , lord . Help me , lord , to get rid of the guilt . Help me to lay it down at the cross .
Speaker 0Father , this is a difficult prayer to pray , lord , because , lord I , lord , I need your help . I need you to help me , lord , to lay all this down at the cross of Calvary . Lord , I need this cleansing , this blood of Jesus . Lord , I need you to sweep from my life . I need mercy .
Speaker 0Lord , sometimes I feel that I foul you , lord , that I'm dear God , I'm angry and I'm frustrated , maybe arrogant and fearful . And , lord , that word forgiveness doesn't sit well in my spirit some days . Lord , help me to be forgiven when Jesus was on the cross . Lord , I pray this through right now , lord , as I think about Christ when he was on the cross and he said Father , forgive them , for they know , no , what they do . Help me to be like that at work , in life , in relationships , wherever we go . Help me , lord , to be more merciful . Help me not to get agitated . Help me , lord . So , father , the word forgiveness is massive . So , lord , I thank you for your mercy , your grace , your beautiful power , lord , that is over each and every one of us .
Speaker 0We pray for forgiveness
and we pray today that bitterness and anger will go , release us from bitterness , from hurts of years past . Help us to live , father , in faith and not live in aggression and doubt , lord . Tell us , lord , god , that we are free . Tell us today we need to hear your word . The Bible says who the Son sets free is free indeed . But , lord , will you wash us in the blood today , in the crimson tide ? Spirit of the living God , your grace is required over my life today . Your grace is required . So , lord , I thank you for forgiveness and mercy . And , lord , we are forgiven , we are cleansed , lord , we have a pure heart and clean hands . According to the word , it's the spirit of the living god . We pray , lord , that fear will be released , doubt will be released , bitterness and anger will be released today as we come to the cross . So , father , we thank you that we are forgiven , that we are saved , that we are children of the living god .
Speaker 0So , lord , we pray for healing from guilt . We pray , lord , from guilt and shame of the past . Lord , I know through the cross and through the blood of jesus . I know , jesus , I know , lord , that my sins are wiped away , but my head and my memory and my life keeps bringing these back up to the forefront . So , lord , will you help me to lay it all down at the cross ? Will you help me to lay it down today , in the mighty name of Jesus , because we are forgiven and your mercy abounds . So , father , we confess our sin because you are faithful and just . And , lord , we love you wherever you are today . We thank you for joining us today . My name is reverend ben cooper . This has been recorded live here in london , england . May god bless you and keep you until tomorrow .
