The Healing Power Of Repentance

The Healing Power Of Repentance Have you ever made a mistake? What was your response? In the heart of the parable of the prodigal son, we find a powerful prayer of repentance. His words, though spoken in humility and shame, are a model for us all when we find ourselves lost and longing for redemption. “I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, ‘Father I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.’” Luke 15:18-19 What did he do? First, he acknowledged he was wrong and confessed it openly. Second, he recognized his unworthiness and submitted to his father's mercy. Third, he was hopeful , believing that his father's love was greater than his sin. Great God of Many Chances, help us today to see our faults clearly, to feel the sorrow that our actions naturally release. Help us then, to turn once more to your waiting arms and find solace and healing there. In Jesus’ holy name we pray. Amen.
