Big Idea: Sometimes we don’t want to pray because we feel guilty about our sin, but God wants us to turn to him in prayer even when we mess up.
Application: We will not let our guilt keep us from turning to God; we will confess our sin to him and receive forgiveness.
Bible Verse: 1 John 2:1–2
2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
