Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. There's so
- 0:09Speaker 1: much going on that I just want to make sure
- 0:12Speaker 1: that it's people of God that we have compassion.
- 0:16Speaker 2: For our brothers and our sisters. Y'all.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Is so easy to be focused internally on what's going
- 0:24Speaker 1: on in our lives and what's happening in our families,
- 0:28Speaker 1: or not to be compassionate or looking or sensitive to
- 0:32Speaker 1: what's going on with our brothers and our sisters that
- 0:35Speaker 1: we work alongside or that we worship alongside. Every single day,
- 0:40Speaker 1: I want to pray about having a heart of compassion.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
- 0:47Speaker 1: before you today asking for a heart that reflects your love,
- 0:51Speaker 1: a heart that sees the needs of others and responds
- 0:54Speaker 1: with kindness, with mercy, and with understanding. Lord, teach us
- 0:58Speaker 1: to feel what you feel, to care like you care,
- 1:01Speaker 1: and to love like you love. Father, Soften our hearts
- 1:06Speaker 1: to the hurting, to the lonely, to the overlooked and
- 1:08Speaker 1: the broken. Remove the heartness that sometimes beilds from pride,
- 1:13Speaker 1: from business or just indifference. God, help us out to
- 1:17Speaker 1: turn away when we see suffering, but to step in
- 1:20Speaker 1: with your spirit leading the way. Lord, give us eyes
- 1:24Speaker 1: to see beyond appearances, ears to hear unspoken cries in
- 1:28Speaker 1: hands God that are willing to serve. Teach us to
- 1:32Speaker 1: speak words that heal instead of hurt, to offer encouragement
- 1:36Speaker 1: instead of judgment, and to extend grace God, even.
- 1:39Speaker 2: When it's undeserved.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Let our compassion be active and not passive, reaching out
- 1:45Speaker 1: to those who needed most. Father, we pray for patience
- 1:49Speaker 1: when others frustrate us, for gentleness when the world is harsh,
- 1:53Speaker 1: and for humility when we feel superior. Help us to
- 1:58Speaker 1: remember that every person we meet is created in your
- 2:01Speaker 1: image and worthy of dignity and love. God, we act
- 2:06Speaker 1: that our hearts would break for the things that break
- 2:08Speaker 1: your heart. Let our love flow in practical ways through
- 2:12Speaker 1: our time, our words, and our actions. May our compassion
- 2:16Speaker 1: become a light in a dark world, a reflection of
- 2:20Speaker 1: your mercy and a.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Witness of your presence.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Lord, remind us that love and compassion are not signs
- 2:28Speaker 1: of weakness, but of strength.
- 2:29Speaker 2: God. We give ourselves to you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: God, let us receive the joy of serving the peace
- 2:36Speaker 1: of walking in obedience, and the fulfillment God that comes
- 2:39Speaker 1: from being your hands and your feet in the earth.
- 2:41Speaker 2: So today God, we commit to living.
- 2:43Speaker 1: With hearts that are tender, spirits that are willing and
- 2:46Speaker 1: yielded to You, and lives that shine your love let compassion. God,
- 2:51Speaker 1: every choice we make, every word we speak, in every
- 2:55Speaker 1: interaction with others, so that we can glorify You and
- 2:58Speaker 1: all we do in Jesus' name.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Amen. Amen,
