Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Nacky and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
- 0:06Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I was just thinking. You know, it's easy to love
- 0:12Speaker 1: somebody who loves you back and is good to you.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The challenge comes when we got to love like the
- 0:18Speaker 1: word of God tells us to love and First Corinthians
- 0:20Speaker 1: thirteen four through seven. And that's what I want to
- 0:23Speaker 1: pray of that Lord, teach us to love like you,
- 0:27Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. We come
- 0:29Speaker 1: before you today with open hearts, seeking to be more
- 0:33Speaker 1: like you in every way, God, seeking to love like you.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Your word tells us in First Corinthians thirteen that love
- 0:40Speaker 1: is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, It
- 0:44Speaker 1: does not boast, It is not proud, It keeps no
- 0:47Speaker 1: record of wrongs. Lord, this kind of love is so
- 0:50Speaker 1: different from the world's love. It's not shallow or fleeting,
- 0:53Speaker 1: it's deep. It's a steady love. It's a selfless love.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And Father, that's the love that we won't love flowing
- 1:00Speaker 1: through us. Lord, teach us patients the kind of patience
- 1:04Speaker 1: that waits without complaining, the kind of patience God, that
- 1:08Speaker 1: endures without giving up, the kind of patience that loves
- 1:12Speaker 1: even when it's not easy. Help us to love people
- 1:15Speaker 1: who test our patients, to respond with grace instead of frustration,
- 1:19Speaker 1: and to remember how patient, God, that you've been with
- 1:23Speaker 1: us through every season of our lives. Teach us kindness, Father,
- 1:27Speaker 1: in a world filled with criticism. Let our words build
- 1:31Speaker 1: up and not tear down. Let us be the ones
- 1:33Speaker 1: who show compassion, who offer a smile when others frowns,
- 1:36Speaker 1: who extend mercy when others judge. Help us to love
- 1:40Speaker 1: in ways that make people feel seen and valued and
- 1:43Speaker 1: cared for, just like you do with us every single day. Lord,
- 1:47Speaker 1: strip away every trace of pride in our hearts. Teach
- 1:51Speaker 1: us to celebrate others instead of competing with them. Help
- 1:54Speaker 1: us to serve quietly, to give freely, and to love humbly,
- 1:58Speaker 1: never seeking recognition, but always seeking to reflect your glory.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Oh Father God, remind us that true love doesn't keep sport,
- 2:06Speaker 1: it doesn't hold rutges, it doesn't dwell on who was
- 2:09Speaker 1: right and who was wrong. Help us to release the
- 2:12Speaker 1: pain of the past, to forgive freely, and to love unconditionally,
- 2:16Speaker 1: Because love, real love doesn't remember the hurt, It remembers
- 2:19Speaker 1: the healing. Come on, Jesus, God, your word says that
- 2:23Speaker 1: love always protects, always trust, always hopes, and always perseveres.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So teach us to be protectors of peace and carry
- 2:31Speaker 1: us of hope when others give up. Help us, God
- 2:34Speaker 1: to keep believing when hearts are broken. Help us to
- 2:36Speaker 1: keep loving when circumstances grow weary. Help us to keep
- 2:40Speaker 1: standing because love never fails. And you, Lord, our love. Father,
- 2:46Speaker 1: Let this love be more than words on a page.
- 2:49Speaker 1: God of words that we hear, But let it be
- 2:51Speaker 1: the rhythm of our hearts, the pattern of our lives,
- 2:54Speaker 1: the proof that we belong to you. Light in a
- 2:57Speaker 1: dark world. God, when we speak, let love be heard.
- 3:01Speaker 1: When we act, let love be seen. God, when we forgive,
- 3:04Speaker 1: let love be felt. And Lord, if we ever forget
- 3:08Speaker 1: how to love, remind us of the Cross, where perfect
- 3:11Speaker 1: love was poured out for imperfect people, Where patience, kindness, humility,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and sacrifice men and one powerful act of redemption. Some today, Father,
- 3:20Speaker 1: feel us again with your love, the love that heals,
- 3:23Speaker 1: the love that endures, the love that changes everything. Let
- 3:27Speaker 1: it overflow from us and to our families. Let it
- 3:29Speaker 1: overflow into our friendships, our community, and even towards those
- 3:33Speaker 1: who have hurt us. Because when we love like you,
- 3:36Speaker 1: we reflect Heaven on earth. When we shine light in darkness,
- 3:40Speaker 1: we become living examples of your grace. Thank you, Lord
- 3:43Speaker 1: for loving us beyond measure, and for teaching us day
- 3:46Speaker 1: by day to love like you in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
