My second chance came in a farmhouse in western Kansas in 1972. I hadn’t lost my salvation, but I had certainly lost my way. In desperation Brenda and I drove several hundred miles to be with our good friends, Bob and Diana. After we put the children to bed the four of us gathered around the coffee table in the living room to receive Holy Communion. Before partaking I poured out my heart in confession and the Lord put this broken man back together again. He healed my heart and restored me to ministry.
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
— Psalm 51:10 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, I pray for that man or woman who is in desperate need of a second chance. Heal their hurts and restore their faith. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
