“… forgive us our sins …”
Continuing our series based on each phrase in the Lord’s Prayer, we’re considering “… forgive us our sins …” Pray for God’s help as you read Psalm 32.
What is unexpected about where blessing is found? Where do we usually think real blessing is?
How does the Psalmist describe the weight of sin? Think about a time when you have been deeply aware of your failings. Pray that we would be humbly aware of our sin and be swift to confess.
What is the Psalmist’s advice for those who are aware of their sin (v6-11)? Which parts of this would you most like to grow in?
Confess your sin to the Lord. The sins you are aware of, the sins you have hidden, and the sins you’re not aware of.
Praise God for the blessing of forgiveness: that sin is totally covered. Pray that we would know the release of sins forgiven.
Pray for others you know to become aware of their sin against the Lord, and to turn to him for forgiveness.
Please also pray … for our Lighthouse Sunday School & Sparklers (in Gobowen), Café in the church, Little Badgers & Praise in the Pub (in Selattyn) and all the families in contact with the churches:
Pray that children and young people will receive Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, be rooted and built up in him, be strengthened in the faith, and overflow with thankfulness (Colossians 2:6,7)
For the leaders to be encouraged in their work, and to labour with joy and faithfulness.
