Lessons learned from Homemade Cookies
It is imperative for us to go to God in prayer with a heart of repentance. He knows that we are not perfect and recognizes the humanness of our bodies where our hearts reside. However, we must confess, repent and turn away from habitual, unconfessed sin to ensure there is nothing hindering God from hearing our prayers. He loves us unconditionally. God sees the big picture of our lives and He knows and wants what is best. We may not understand His instructions or directives, but we have to trust in His love.
Book Excerpt
Unleash the Power of Prayer
They were hot, delicious, and so good; but then my mother returned. She asked me if I had eaten any of the cookies. I looked up at her and softly replied that I hadn’t eaten any—not realizing the crumbs of evidence rested gently on the corners of my mouth. She asked me again, with the look that only mothers can give, and I ashamedly said, “Yes.”
Once I confessed my sins, my communication with my mother was unimpeded. She did not disown me or kick me out of the house. She forgave me for disobeying and then lying to her. (However, there were dire consequences to my bottom, and I never took a cookie without her permission again.)
Nothing damages your prayer life more than unconfessed sin. Confess, repent, and ask God for the strength to turn away from those sins.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from any unrighteousness.
