Our prayers can be hindered by what we hold in our hearts.  Hatred, malice, bitterness, lust, and unforgiveness cause our petitions to fail and subvert even the most fervent supplications.

We need to regularly search our hearts and release those things that disrupt our healing, help, and happiness.  

While God answers our prayers in God’s own time, sometimes there are delays because of our own disobedience and hardness of heart.  

I know that’s tough to hear.  So, pray with me this morning for a clean hands and a pure heart. Let’s pray for the strength of will to release those against whom we may be holding a grudge.   

Listen to the testimony of the Psalmist:

¹⁸ If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,the Lord would not have listened.¹⁹ But truly God has listened;he has attended to the voice of my prayer.²⁰ Blessed be God,because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!

Psalm 66:18-20

LORD, help us to let go of anything that hinders our prayers.

Good Morning, I love you all!
