Dr. Michael Youssef guiding you toward forgiveness as he begins this episode of leading the way.

When Jesus taught the disciples saying,

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us,

or as Matthew said, forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors.

He was giving the disciples and he was giving every one of us

and every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ the key to fill that emptiness and restlessness in life.

Relationships often bring seasons of difficulty.

When you're required to extend forgiveness, that makes these times even tougher.

Wounds often last for a long time.

Hello, welcome to leading the way where Dr. Michael Yousuff is teaching through the Lord's Prayer,

guiding you to a deeper understanding of the fatherhood of God, and hopefully sweetening

your prayer life along the way. Today, let's focus on forgiveness. Here's Dr. Michael

Yousaf to begin this episode of Leading the Way audio. If I have experienced one thing, regardless of geographical boundary, whatever I had the privilege

of ministering the world over, I have experienced that same thing that is deep down in many

people's heart, there is such emptiness, there is such a void, there is such restlessness, that in their honest moment they will tell you there's something missing in my life, even though if they don't know what it is.

That empty feeling, that nothing seemed to be able to fill, they have that sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction.

Right across economic boundaries, right across

racial boundaries, right across geographical boundaries, I have experienced and I have seen that

happening all across the world.

When I talk to people whether on airplanes or one-on-one or in functions. And whenever they open up, they can tell me

that I feel something is missing in my life. I don't know what it is. And by the grace of God

and the inside of the Holy Spirit, I've often been able to put my finger on it very quickly.
