  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always, I invite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I just want to pray and remind you that you
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: are greater than your past mistakes. You're greater than your
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: past failures. Heavenly Father, we come before you today carrying
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the weight of our past, our mistakes, our regrets, our
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: failures that we wish we could undo, choices that still
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: try to define us. But Lord, in this moment, we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: lift our eyes to you and we declare that you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: are greater. God. You're greater than our past, and because
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of you, we are not bound by what we've been through. Father,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for every heart burden by guilt and shame, we ask
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that you bring release right now. Remind us God that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: your grace is bigger than any of our decisions. Your
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: grace is sufficient, It's even sufficient for our worst decisions.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Your mercy is deeper than our deepest failures. You are
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not holding our pastor over our heads. You are calling
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: us forward into purpose, into healing, and into new life.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Oh Lord, silence every voice that whispers you'll never change,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You've gone too far or this is who you are.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Those lives have no authority over us. Your truth says
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we are forgiven. You said, if we confess our sins,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you're faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of all unrighteousness. Your truth says that we are made new.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Your truth says that what is behind us does not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: compare to what you have ahead of us. God, help
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: us to forgive ourselves. Teach us to release what you've
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: already forgiven. Break the chains of condemnation and regret that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: try to keep us stuck. Give us the courage to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: let go of yesterday so that we can fully step
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: into today. Oh Father God, we thank you that you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are our deemis. You don't waste pain, and you don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: discard broken people. You take what was meant for harm
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and you turn it around for our good. God, you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: take shattered pieces and you create something beautiful. Even God,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: our mistakes become testimonies of your grace and your power. Lord,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: breathe a new confidence into us. Where we once felt disqualified.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Remind us that we are still chosen. Where we once
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: felt defeated, remind us that we are more than conquerors
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: through you. Where we once felt stuck. Give us the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: strength to move forward with boldness and faith. God, we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: declare that our past does not own us, It does
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: not define us, it does not control our future. We
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: are free because you have set us free. We are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: whole because you are restoring us. We are moving forward
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: because You, God, are leading us. So today, God, we
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: release every mistake, We release every failure, We release every
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: regret into your hands. We walk away from it and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we walk toward you. We choose to believe what you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: say about us, not what our past tries to remind
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: us of. Oh God, thank you, Thank you. That we
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: are greater not because of our own stream, but because
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you live on the inside of us, and with you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: got all things are possible. In Jesus' name, Amen, Amen, Amen,
