• 1:34
  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:44
  - Hello, and welcome to divine five one five
• 1:47
  - daily prayers with Valerie Rocha. I'm your host,
• 1:50
  - and I get the privilege of sharing how
• 1:53
  - small acts of kindness become powerful prayers.
• 1:56
  - Scripture text I'm coming from today is Galatians
• 1:58
  - five thirteen
• 1:59
  - and says serve one another humbly in love.
• 2:03
  - And,
• 2:04
  - we wanna start the conversation
• 2:06
  - by
• 2:07
  - addressing
• 2:08
  - that.
• 2:09
  - The problem is that sometimes we believe prayer
• 2:12
  - ends with amen.
• 2:13
  - Right? But in actuality,
• 2:15
  - that's when the real work begins after the
• 2:18
  - amen.
• 2:20
  - God often answers someone's prayer through another person's
• 2:23
  - obedience. Right? I I often say that we
• 2:26
  - can be
• 2:27
  - part of the answer to our prayer,
• 2:30
  - whether it's a phone call or an encouraging
• 2:33
  - word or simply an act of kindness.
• 2:38
  - They're all good
• 2:40
  - avenues
• 2:40
  - of of helping someone
• 2:43
  - else and answering someone else's prayer or even
• 2:45
  - your own.
• 2:47
  - But oftentimes, we separate prayers from daily life.
• 2:51
  - Instead of asking, Lord, how do we want
• 2:54
  - how do you want to use us today?
• 2:57
  - We often move through our day without noticing
• 2:59
  - opportunities God has placed before us.
• 3:02
  - So remember we talked about,
• 3:05
  - the the most powerful
• 3:06
  - position to be is having the heart of
• 3:09
  - humility and having the mindset of servant.
• 3:12
  - Why? Because if we are gonna mirror,
• 3:15
  - being like Christ,
• 3:17
  - we need to be
• 3:18
  - a servant
• 3:19
  - so that we can demonstrate
• 3:23
  - who Christ is in our life.
• 3:27
  - And
• 3:28
  - not only was he, you know, the master
• 3:31
  - teacher,
• 3:32
  - and and,
• 3:34
  - taught us how to lead,
• 3:36
  - by serving others,
• 3:37
  - but he was the master intercessor.
• 3:40
  - He taught us that prayer changes our awareness.
• 3:43
  - The more we pray, the more we notice
• 3:45
  - people.
• 3:46
  - How to identify the needs and the opportunities
• 3:49
  - and how to fulfill those divine appointments.
• 3:54
  - He shows us that prayer prepares us to
• 3:56
  - become part of God's answer
• 3:58
  - as well as our own answer to prayer.
• 4:01
  - So
• 4:02
  - that being said,
• 4:04
  - take all of that to heart
• 4:06
  - as we take
• 4:08
  - whatever
• 4:09
  - today's concerns are in prayer.
• 4:13
  - Dear Lord,
• 4:15
  - make
• 4:16
  - us available today.
• 4:18
  - Open up our eyes to the people you've
• 4:21
  - placed in our path and help us respond
• 4:23
  - with compassion,
• 4:25
  - generosity, and love.
• 4:27
  - May our prayers move beyond words and become
• 4:29
  - visible through the way we serve others.
• 4:33
  - Let someone experience your kindness because
• 4:35
  - we chose to obey you today,
• 4:38
  - and we will give your name the honor,
• 4:39
  - the glory, and the praise.
• 4:41
  - Jesus' name, amen.
• 4:44
  - Remember, there is power in learning to live
• 4:47
  - this way every single day.
• 4:49
  - And if you want to take your
• 4:52
  - prayer life to the next level, I'd like
• 4:54
  - to invite you to join us to be
• 4:56
  - part of the inner chamber prayer community,
• 4:59
  - which helps believers turn prayer into a lifestyle.
• 5:03
  - And until tomorrow,
• 5:05
  - remember
• 5:06
  - prayer is not
• 5:08
  - what we do. It's
• 5:11
  - how we live on a daily basis.
