Summary
David had an affair, murdered a man, and spent almost a year ignoring his wrongdoing before finally confessing his sin. Psalm 51 reveals his heart after such a significant moral failure, and his words are beautiful as he asks God to cleanse, restore, and continue to use him.
Our kids will sin too. This week we are praying they recognize it and repent, just as David did all those years ago. God cares so much about our right-ness with him that he sent Jesus to bridge the chasm between our sin and God. He’s the sacrifice that allows us right standing before God, even when we’re so prone to sin.
Join me this week in praying that our kids will have accountability in their lives (a Nathan) that will point out their sin. Let’s also pray they never feel defined by the places where they get it wrong, but instead know that Jesus is ready to give them a clean heart and full restoration—if they will simply ask.

| 0:05.0 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess. |
| 0:16.0 | This is Cynthia. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm glad you're joining us. |
| 0:18.0 | This week we are praying for our kids and the sin in their |
| 0:21.2 | lives. And so let's just start with the most basic premise that our kids are sinful. As are we |
| 0:27.8 | from the time of the fall in the garden. We have been a sinful being. And so because of that, |
| 0:34.8 | that separates us from God. And we probably know this, but I'm just reiterating in case we need reminders in the Old |
| 0:41.8 | Testament when there was sin, it separates you from God. |
| 0:44.4 | You can't be in right relationship with God. |
| 0:46.6 | And so they would have an atoning sacrifice. |
| 0:48.8 | It would be a blemish-free sacrifice, like a lamb or a sheep or something that is without blemish and that would be the blood |
| 0:56.3 | of that sacrifice would make them in right relationship with God. And so now after Jesus, he is the |
| 1:02.8 | sacrifice, the perfect sacrifice for our sin. And so knowing and accepting Jesus as our Lord and |
| 1:09.1 | Savior is critical. I always say we pray that of our kids. |
| 1:12.6 | If they haven't done that yet, we pray that they understand that they have sin. They are separated |
| 1:16.8 | from God and we have the sacrifice of Jesus. He died on the cross for our sins. And because of that, |
| 1:22.6 | if we accept him, we can be in right relationship with Jesus, both now and forever, all eternity. And so there's |
| 1:29.3 | no way to God but through Jesus. John 316 all over again, for God to love the world that he gave |
| 1:34.8 | his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. |
| 1:40.0 | And so we start with that most basic premise that our kids are sinful. |
