- 1:09Speaker 1: Us a report that frightened us and when our hearts
- 1:11Speaker 1: were broken and when we had to keep moving even
- 1:14Speaker 1: though we were hurting inside. You were faithful when the
- 1:17Speaker 1: relationship ended, when the job disappeared, when the opportunity fell through,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and when the doors we wanted you to open remained closed.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Looking back now, we can see that some of the
- 1:27Speaker 1: things we cried over were things you were protecting us
- 1:30Speaker 1: from and redirecting us from. and preparing us for something
- 1:33Speaker 1: so much greater. Oh, Father, thank you for the prayers
- 1:36Speaker 1: you answered with yes, the prayers you answered with wait,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and even the times, God, you answered with no, because
- 1:42Speaker 1: you saw what we couldn't see. Thank you for being
- 1:45Speaker 1: faithful to our children. Thank you for being faithful to
- 1:47Speaker 1: our grandchildren. Thank you for keeping our families through difficult seasons,
- 1:51Speaker 1: sustaining us through grief, comforting us through loss, and giving
- 1:54Speaker 1: us strength when we didn't know how we were going
- 1:56Speaker 1: to make it through another day. God, your word declares
- 1:58Speaker 1: in Lamentations 3. 22 through 23, that your mercy never
- 2:02Speaker 1: comes to an end and that we are given new
- 2:05Speaker 1: mercies every day.
- 2:07Speaker 2: So great is your faithfulness, God.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And Lord, we can testify that you have never stopped
- 2:12Speaker 1: being God.
- 2:13Speaker 2: When people walked away, you remained.
- 2:15Speaker 1: When circumstances changed, you remained. When our feelings failed us,
- 2:18Speaker 1: your promises remained. And when we can trace your hand, God,
- 2:22Speaker 1: we can still trust your heart. Father, forgive us for
- 2:24Speaker 1: the times we became so focused on what we were
- 2:27Speaker 1: waiting for that we forgot to thank you for what
- 2:30Speaker 1: you'd already done. Forgive us for counting our problems more
- 2:33Speaker 1: than we counted our blessings. Oh, today we remember, God.
- 2:36Speaker 1: We remember the doors you opened, the battles you brought us.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Through, the tears you helped us wipe.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Away, the strength you gave us, and the grace that
- 2:43Speaker 1: carried us when our strength was gone. Lord, oh, you
- 2:46Speaker 1: have been better to us than we've been to ourselves.
- 2:48Speaker 1: So today we will not allow one unanswered prayer to
- 2:51Speaker 1: make us forget a lifetime of answered prayers. We will
- 2:53Speaker 1: not allow one difficult season to erase the evidence.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Of your goodness. Oh, God, you've been faithful. You were
- 2:59Speaker 2: faithful on yesterday. You'll be faithful today.
- 3:02Speaker 1: And, God, we trust you to be faithful tomorrow. Thank you, Lord,
- 3:05Speaker 1: for keeping us. Thank you, Lord, for carrying us. Thank you, Lord,
- 3:07Speaker 1: even when you correct us. Thank you for providing for us.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Thank you for protecting us. And thank you for loving
- 3:12Speaker 1: us through it all. Oh, great is your faithfulness, Lord,
- 3:15Speaker 1: from generation to generation.
