  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always I ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. And today
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it is I keep thinking about our children, and we're
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: so caught up in stuff. We're so caught up in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the world, We're so caught up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with what's going on in our relationships and all of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the stuff that sometimes our children are going by the wayside,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: like we've forgotten about them. So I want to pray
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about that today. Father, God, in the name of Jesus,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you are the God of compassion, You are the God
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of justice, You are the God of generations. We come
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: before you with heavy hearts today and spirits that are
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: surging for answers. God crying out, what about the children
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in a world too loud with war and worry, with
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: walls instead of welcome Pauls To remember the smallest voices God,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the ones too often silenced by poverty, burdened by violence, forgotten,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and systems not built for their flourishing. Lord, when we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: scroll past stories of pain, abuse, and hunger, remind us
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: these are not numbers, These are not just social media
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: postal These are not just voices on the radio or
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: images we see on TV. These are children, each one
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: with a name, each one with a dream, each one
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: your beloved. What about the children, children that have to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: walk to school through beer bottles and needles and all
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: kinds of chaos and terror, and then walk into school
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: where fear walks the hallways. What about the children and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: foster care, the tension centers, repped camps. What about the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: children God taught to fight before they're taught to read.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Have we grown so used to injustice and cruelty that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we no longer weep and care? Have we become so
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: distracted that we forget to protect? Oh? God, awaken our hearts,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: unplug our ears. Let the cries of the children echo
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: through our souls. God, until we cannot help but respond,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh God, where there's pain, make us heal us. Where
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there's danger, God, make us defend us. Where there's silence,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: make us voices and rides like thunder and light, declaring.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Every child is sacred, Every child deserves hope. Every child
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: carries your image. How and when we ask, what can
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I do? Lord? You whisper back, Start where you are, Love, fiercely, give, generously, speak,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: bold and never stop asking the hard questions bother God.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: In the minium of Jesus, let our hands be your hands.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Let our feet be swift to serve. Our prayers be
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: more than just words. Who Let our love be action.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Let our love be a fire that refuses to go out.
