[Music] welcome back to Grace for Life channel before we pray I would like to share some words and then we'll pray together life often brings seasons of loss and regret where it feels as though Precious Years have been wasted yet God's word carries a profound promise he will restore all the Wasted Years this Divine Assurance is beautifully expressed in Joel 2:25 where God declares I will restore to you the year years that the swarming Locust has eaten this powerful verse speaks of God's ability to redeem time that seems lost to hardship mistakes or circumstances beyond
our control understanding this promise requires looking back at the people of Israel who faced a devastating Locust plague that destroyed their crops and way of life while This calamity was a consequence of their Disobedience God's mercy prevailed he promised not only to restore their physical losses but also to renew their Spirits heal their hearts and draw them closer to him in our lives Wasted Years can take many forms they might be years spent chasing unfulfilling goals enduring relationships that ended in heartache grappling with health struggles or feeling spiritually dry and distant from God this verse
offers assurance that no experience no matter how painful is wasted in God's hands every trial every hardship becomes an opportunity for God to shape our character and prepare us for the future he has planned our struggles can be transformed into powerful testimonies of his faithfulness when you walk through seasons of difficulty it can feel lonely and overwhelming however as you trust God and see his hand at work in your life your faith is strengthened these moments allow you to witness God's grace and mercy firsthand turning your pain into a story of Hope and Redemption furthermore
your experiences can serve as a source of encouragement to others by sharing how God has carried you through challenging times you can offer comfort and hope to those facing similar struggles your testimony becomes a beacon of light showing others that God can restore their lives as well God's restoration often brings a renewal of joy and hope Psalm 51-12 declares restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing Spirit to sustain me when you turn to God in your Brokenness he fills you with a joy that transcends circumstances This Joy is not
rooted in fleeting moments but in the unwavering love and presence of God it's the joy of knowing you are deeply loved and valued by him and that he has a good plan for your life God's joy lifts you above the weight of past regrets enabling you to embrace each new day with hope it reminds you that he is in control control and that no matter what happens you can trust him to take care of you this renewed Joy rekindles your hope helping you to see possibilities where there once seemed only obstacles God's restoration is not
just about external changes it's a holistic transformation that touches every part of your life he heals emotional wounds men's broken relationships restores physical health and renews your mind where there was turmoil he brings peace where there was confusion he provides Clarity this deep and thorough restoration reflects God's desire for you to live an abundant and fulfilled life emotional healing is a vital part of God's restoration he brings Comfort to areas of deep hurt and pain helping you to forgive and let go of past wounds this healing allows you to experience freedom and joy in ways
