Refuge for your Refuse Series: Put me back on my feet #2

I'll say to him, Father, I've sinned against God, I've sinned before you; I don't deserve to be called your son. Take me on as a hired hand.' He got right up and went home to his father.

17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

Prayer is the prophetic interruption. The prophetic interruption says "I've sinned against God." Prayer is  the Morse code of our existence. SOS is the commonly used description for the International Morse code distress signal (· · · - - - · · · ). Morse code is a method for transmitting information, using standardized sequences of short and long marks or pulses — commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" — for the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a message.
