Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Today we are bringing our series called Life's Healing Choices to a close. And in these lessons, Rick Warren is guiding us through a deep biblical exploration of how to overcome the hurts, hang-ups, and habits that hold us back.

So get ready for some practical insights and powerful truths that can lead to lasting change

and freedom in your life.

And now here's Rick.

He's got the final part of a message called, There's No Recovery Without Prayer.

With prayer, we can recover our vision, our perspective, our sight.

When I'm locked in to a habit, her to hang up,

when I'm locked in to a pattern of thinking, a way of living, an attitude,

when I'm stuck in a relationship I can't get into, I can't get on with, and I can't get out

of, and I'm just stuck, then I need to pray. Because with prayer, we can recover our vision.

And then we can see things we can recover our vision.

And then we can see things we never could see before.

We see things about ourselves we never saw before.

We see things about our partner that we never saw before.

We see things about the world, about God, about Satan, about life, about death, about

what's important in life. We see things

we never saw before. It only comes through prayer. You're not going to get this in a secular

recovery program. You're not going to get these benefits in a secular recovery program. Because in those programs, they're not going to get these benefits in a secular recovery program.

Because in those programs, they're not talking about prayer.

They're not talking about prayer at all.

Let me give you another.

This is what had to do with Peter and his massive, personal and yet very public failure.
