Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. At it's time right now for
- 0:03Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer, and as always
- 0:06Speaker 1: I invite you to join along with me in prayer.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I think about sometimes all of the wood coulda should
- 0:13Speaker 1: as in my life or some of the situations honestly
- 0:17Speaker 1: I found myself in because of my choices, And then
- 0:21Speaker 1: I think, But God, oh Heavenly Father, we come before
- 0:25Speaker 1: you today with grateful hearts, declaring that you are the
- 0:29Speaker 1: God of the turnaround, the God of new beginnings, the
- 0:32Speaker 1: God who writes the final chapter in our story. Lord,
- 0:36Speaker 1: So many of us can look back over our lives
- 0:39Speaker 1: and see moments that should have destroyed us, seasons that
- 0:43Speaker 1: should have broken us, storms that should have taken us out.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We can remember the pain, We remember the sickness, We
- 0:50Speaker 1: remember the betrayal God, we remember the loss. But in
- 0:56Speaker 1: the middle of it all there was a But God, Lord,
- 1:00Speaker 1: word reminds us that Joseph was thrown into a pit
- 1:04Speaker 1: by his own brothers. He was falsely accused, he was
- 1:07Speaker 1: in prison, but God was with him and he rose
- 1:12Speaker 1: to the palace. David was haunted by Saul, hiding in
- 1:15Speaker 1: caves and running for his life, but God established him
- 1:20Speaker 1: as king. Paul said he was shipwrecked, beaten, and in despair,
- 1:25Speaker 1: but God delivered him again and again. And Lord, many
- 1:30Speaker 1: of us have faced seasons where we thought it was over.
- 1:33Speaker 1: We sat in hospital rooms, we sat in courtrooms, we
- 1:37Speaker 1: sat in living rooms where hope seemed lost. But God,
- 1:42Speaker 1: you stepped in. Father. Today we pray for the ones
- 1:46Speaker 1: who feel that they're at the end of their rope.
- 1:49Speaker 1: They're carrying heavy burdens. They're battling depression, their fighting illness,
- 1:54Speaker 1: they're facing financial struggles or trying to pick up the
- 1:58Speaker 1: broken pieces from a broken relationship. God, remind them that
- 2:03Speaker 1: what the enemy meant for evil, you're still turning around
- 2:06Speaker 1: for good. Remind them that weeping may endure for a night,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but joy is coming in the morning. Remind them that
- 2:14Speaker 1: when others walked away, you never left, and you never will. Lord.
- 2:18Speaker 1: We thank you for every but God in our lives.
- 2:21Speaker 1: The moments when we didn't see away, but you made
- 2:24Speaker 1: one when we didn't have the strength to go on. God,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but you carried us when we were guilty, But you
- 2:30Speaker 1: covet us with your mercy and your grace. God, we
- 2:33Speaker 1: declare today that our story is not over. Until you
- 2:37Speaker 1: say that it's over. So Father, we lift our eyes
- 2:40Speaker 1: in face. No matter what we face, we will say
- 2:44Speaker 1: with confidence. Sickness may come, but God is a healer.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Trouble may rise, but God is a deliverer. Enemies may gather,
- 2:52Speaker 1: but God will raise up a standard against them. Fear
- 2:56Speaker 1: may whisper, but God gives us peace. Lack may try
- 2:59Speaker 1: to hold us back, but God is our provider. Lord.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Feel this truth in our hearts today
