(𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟭𝟰𝟳:𝟯 𝗞𝗝𝗩)

We come before the Lord, not with pretense or strength, but in our honest need for His healing touch. Tonight, we address the deep wounds that shape our responses—the hurts that can fester into bitterness, the pain that can be weaponized into vengeance.

We look to the lineage of Cain, to a man named Lamech, who boasted of perpetuating a cycle of violence far beyond the original wrong. His legacy was one of escalating retribution. But our God offers a different path: a legacy of forgiveness and a heart of flesh to replace the stony heart of pride and anger.

Tonight, we surrender our bleeding hearts to the Great Physician. We ask Him to silence the voices of ancestral pride and rebellion that speak through our pain, and to heal our fear-driven responses so we can trust fully in His justice and peace.
