Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: sometimes my simple prayer is, Lord, I don't.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Want to miss you.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Whatever that means, whatever you have for me, wherever you're
- 0:17Speaker 1: leading me, I don't want to miss you. Father God,
- 0:21Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, we come before you today
- 0:25Speaker 1: with one sincere request.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Lord, we don't want to miss you. We don't want to.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Be so busy pursuing what we want that we overlook
- 0:33Speaker 1: what you've planned for us. We don't want to be
- 0:35Speaker 1: so distracted by the noise around us that we can't
- 0:38Speaker 1: recognize your voice. And God, we don't want to be
- 0:41Speaker 1: so determined to make something happen that we move ahead
- 0:44Speaker 1: of your timing. So, Father, order our steps, direct our path,
- 0:48Speaker 1: align our hearts with your will for our lives. Your
- 0:51Speaker 1: word declares in Proverbs 3, 5, and 6 that when
- 0:54Speaker 1: we trust in you with all of our hearts and
- 0:57Speaker 1: acknowledge you in all of our ways, you will direct
- 1:00Speaker 1: our path. So, Lord, we surrender our plans. We surrender
- 1:04Speaker 1: our ambition, our relationships. our opportunities and our futures to you.
- 1:10Speaker 1: If there's a door you don't want us to walk through, God,
- 1:13Speaker 1: give us the discernment to recognize it. If there's a
- 1:16Speaker 1: relationship that will pull us away from your purpose, give
- 1:19Speaker 1: us the courage to establish boundaries. If there's an opportunity
- 1:23Speaker 1: that looks good but is not good for us, help us.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Not to be blinded by the appearance.
- 1:29Speaker 1: And if you open a door that requires us to
- 1:31Speaker 1: step outside of our comfort zone, give us the faith.
- 1:35Speaker 2: To walk through that door.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Lord, we don't want to miss the people that you've
- 1:39Speaker 1: assigned to help us. The lessons that you're trying to
- 1:43Speaker 1: teach us, the opportunities that.
- 1:45Speaker 2: You place right in front of us.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Don't let pride keep us from receiving correction. Don't let
- 1:51Speaker 1: fear keep us from obeying you. Don't let impatience cause
- 1:55Speaker 1: us to settle for something.
- 1:56Speaker 2: You never intended for us.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Oh, Father, quiet the voices of comparison and confusion and
- 2:03Speaker 1: insecurity and outside pressure. God, help us to stop measuring
- 2:07Speaker 1: our journey by somebody else's progress. Remind us that you
- 2:13Speaker 1: are doing something new in us. And God, what you
- 2:16Speaker 1: have for us doesn't have to look.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Like what you've done for somebody else. Oh, Lord.
- 2:22Speaker 1: When we make a mistake, help us to recognize it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Repent and realign ourselves with you. Keep us humble enough
- 2:28Speaker 1: to be corrected and willing to change direction when necessary. God,
- 2:32Speaker 1: we don't want to be so afraid of missing you
- 2:34Speaker 1: that we become paralyzed.
- 2:36Speaker 2: We want to trust you enough to.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Move when you lead and wait when you say wait.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Your word says in John 10, 27, my sheep hear
- 2:45Speaker 1: my voice and I know them and they're going to
- 2:47Speaker 1: follow me. So Father, make us sensitive to your leading
- 2:51Speaker 1: through your word, through wise counsel, through prayer, through the
- 2:55Speaker 1: guidance of the Holy Spirit and above all, Lord, we
- 2:58Speaker 1: don't just want your blessing. We want your presence. We
- 3:02Speaker 1: don't just want you to bless our plans. We want
- 3:06Speaker 1: our plans to align with your purpose. God, don't let
- 3:09Speaker 1: us miss the lesson in the waiting, the wisdom in
- 3:12Speaker 1: the correction, the opportunity in the transition, or the purpose
- 3:16Speaker 1: in the season. Oh, God, lead us, Lord. Correct us, Lord.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Prepare us, Lord. And whenever and wherever you lead, give
- 3:24Speaker 1: us the courage to follow in Jesus' name.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Amen, amen, and amen.
