The Principles of Penitent Prayer - Psalm 51:1-19 (1.19.20) - Dr. Jordan N. Rogers

Dr. Jordan Rogers continues preaching on the subject of prayer in this sermon from Psalm 51:1-19 entitled "The Principles of Penitent Prayer." “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise” (Psalm 51:17). Since we are all sinners, we all need to know how to pray repentantly and return to the Lord. David’s prayer in Psalm 51 is critical for us to understand, as it serves as the model for repentant prayer. Psalm 51 is the record of King David’s penitent prayer which he prayed after his grievous sins were uncovered. He committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband, Uriah the Hittite, killed in order to hide his iniquity. Then, God sent His prophet, Nathan, to confront David concerning his sins. In response to the Word of God, David went to the Lord in repentant prayer.
