Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always, I invite
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: sometimes life is happening and we are just moving and
- 0:12Speaker 1: going through the motions, and sometimes we feel like we're
- 0:15Speaker 1: on this unending treadmill, or we feel like we're going
- 0:19Speaker 1: through so much. God must have forgotten about you. I
- 0:23Speaker 1: want to remind you you are not forgotten. God knows
- 0:27Speaker 1: every hair on your head. He knows you by name,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Heavenly Father. Today we come before you with hearts that
- 0:35Speaker 1: may be weary, discouraged, and sometimes feeling overlooked or carrying
- 0:40Speaker 1: silent questions. Some have wondered, God, do you see me?
- 0:44Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm carrying? Have I've been forgotten?
- 0:47Speaker 1: But Lord, before we ask another question, we declare this truth.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We are not forgotten. And you know our name's Father.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Thank you that in a world where people may overlook us,
- 1:01Speaker 1: misunderstand us, or walk away from us, you never do.
- 1:05Speaker 1: You know every detail of our lives. You know our tears,
- 1:08Speaker 1: you know our struggles, You know our prayers and even
- 1:11Speaker 1: the words we can't speak before anyone called our name.
- 1:14Speaker 1: You already knew it before we took our first breath.
- 1:17Speaker 1: You had purpose for us. Lord. For the person who
- 1:20Speaker 1: feels invisible today, remind them that Heaven knows their name.
- 1:25Speaker 1: For the one who feels rejected, remind them they are chosen.
- 1:29Speaker 1: For the one who feels abandoned, remind them they are
- 1:33Speaker 1: held by a God who never leaves and never forsakes them. Father,
- 1:38Speaker 1: there are people carrying pain, quietly smiling on this outside,
- 1:42Speaker 1: while feeling forgotten on the inside. But God, step into
- 1:46Speaker 1: those places of loneliness. Let your presence feel every empty space.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Let your love silence every lie that says that they
- 1:53Speaker 1: are in significant, unwanted, or unseen. Lord, your word says
- 1:58Speaker 1: and Isaiah forty nine, that you have engraved us upon
- 2:02Speaker 1: the palm of your hands. What a promise, What a comfort.
- 2:05Speaker 1: We are not in afterthought. We are not overlooked, We
- 2:09Speaker 1: are not forgotten. We are remembered by the creator of
- 2:13Speaker 1: heaven and Earth. Father, remind us that delay does not
- 2:17Speaker 1: mean denial. Waiting seasons do not mean abandonment. Closed doors
- 2:21Speaker 1: do not mean you have changed your mind about us.
- 2:24Speaker 1: You are still working behind the scenes. You are still
- 2:27Speaker 1: ordering ourselves. You're still opening doors You're still healing wolves,
- 2:31Speaker 1: You're still preparing blessings with our name on them. God,
- 2:36Speaker 1: restore confidence to every heart that is questioned. It's worse. God,
- 2:41Speaker 1: lip every bowed head, renew every weary spirit. Help us
- 2:45Speaker 1: to stand with boldness and declare we matter, We are loved,
- 2:49Speaker 1: we are chosen, We are seen by God and Lord.
- 2:53Speaker 1: When we forget who we are, you remind us whoos
- 2:57Speaker 1: we are. Remind us that we belie, belong to You,
- 3:01Speaker 1: that your hand is upon our lives and our story
- 3:04Speaker 1: is still being written, that purpose still lives on the
- 3:08Speaker 1: inside of us. So today, God, we release the feelings
- 3:13Speaker 1: of rejection. We release the feelings of loneliness and insignificance. God,
- 3:17Speaker 1: we receive your love. We receive the peace. We receive
- 3:21Speaker 1: the truth that you know our name and that you
- 3:24Speaker 1: have not forgotten about us. Thank you Father for seeing us,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Thank you Father for keeping us, and thank you God
- 3:30Speaker 1: for loving us beyond measure. In Jesus' name, Amen, Amen, Amen,
