  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. You and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about how the disciples had Jesus right
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: there with them on the boat, and when the storm
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: came they all got fretful and upset and worried and out.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: They had Jesus right there physically in their presence. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: guess what, he never leaves us up for sake, because
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: He's right there with us when our storms come in life.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to pray about this morning, Heavenly Father,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you today,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: standing in awe of your power and your majesty. You
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: are the God who walks on water, who speaks to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the winds and they obey. You are the same yesterday,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: today and forever. And you have not lost control. Lord.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: When the storms of life rage around us, when we're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: tossed by the winds of fear and doubt and grief
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and uncertainty, remind us that you are still in the boat.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You are not caught off guard, You are not shaken
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: by our trials. You are sovereign and every storm answers
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to your voice. Father. Some of us are in the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: middle of storms right now. The rain is pouring, the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: thunder is loud, and it feels like we're sinking. But Lord,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you said in your word that even the winds and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: waves obey you. So today we cry out like the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: disciples did. Master, don't you care that we're perishing? And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you lovingly answer, Peace. Be still, Oh God, Speak peace
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: over every troubled heart listening right now. Speak peace over
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: broken marriages, over lost children, overfalling finances, over mental health battles,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: over lonely nights, and weary souls. Remind us, Lord that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the storm is not the end. It is only a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: passage approving ground, a place where your power is made
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: perfect in our weakness. Teach us not to just survive
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the storm, but to trust you in the middle of that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Let our faith not be in the absence of trouble,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but in the presence of Almighty God. Remind us that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you use the storm to draw us closer to You,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to purify our hearts, to show us that you are
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: our anchor when everything else falls apart. Lord, help us
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to praise You in the thunder, to worship while the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: waves crash, and to believe that you are working all
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: things out for our good, even when we don't understand it. God,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we declare today the storm will not destroy us. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: will develop us. It will teach us, it will stretch us,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it will show us the glory of your presence like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: never before. So Father, we surrender. We lift our hands
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the wind, and we say, have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your way. Lord, Be glorified in the storm, Be magnified
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in our weakness. Let the world see that even when
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: life shakes us, our God cannot be shaken. And the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: mighty naturalist, wonderful name of Jesus, the one who calls
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the seas. Oh, we pray this in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amens,
