“Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah.”  Acts 3:19-20

Lord Jesus, I carry a heavy burden in my heart and in my life.  Guilt because of my sins overwhelms me.  Pressure to make up for past sins lies on my shoulders.  Fear of confrontation about my sin silences me and breaks my spirit.  But, you Lord God, have wiped out all record of my sin.  There is no record of my sin not in any heavenly book.  There will be no record of my sin on the Day of Judgment.  You have wiped out and completely obliterated all record of my sin.  Give me the same forgetfulness about my sin.  Remove my sin not just from my heavenly record but from my memory.  Do not let the sins of my past (sins that you have already forgiven) haunt and trouble me.  Do not let guilt silence me.  If you have forgiven and forgotten, then all is truly forgiven and forgotten.  Grant this relief to my mind and spirit so that I might serve you with joy and freedom.  Bring refreshing times to my soul today.  Amen.

Times of refreshing are here and have come from your Lord.  Enjoy this today: Your God has removed and obliterated all evidence of sin in your life.  He has given you absolute relief from every burden in your life.
