The Prayer of Restoration

Share Button

God’s desire for our relationship with him is his utmost concern for his creation. He has redeemed us through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. However our relationship becomes separated from him when we sin. Nevertheless God allows our relationship with him to become close and real when we repent of our sin through confession.

King David of Israel was a man after God’s own heart, yet he sinned greatly even at the apex of his rule. Here in this message we hear how David’s confession was a prayer of restoration. His prayer was not simply to avoid condemnation, but to be restored to the joy and gladness he experienced before his great sin.

Psalm 51 is that confession of by King David. In this penitential psalm we read of the heart of David. His confession declares of his great need for mercy and the grace only God can provide through His Son, Jesus Christ.
