  Psalm 100 in 1967 declares, before I was afflicted,
• 0:05
  I went astray, but now I obey your word. Today,
• 0:10
  Lord, I surrender my season to you, the place
• 0:14
  where I am, the circumstances surrounding me,
• 0:18
  the doors that have opened, the doors that have
• 0:21
  closed, the things that have changed, and the
• 0:25
  discomfort I do not completely understand. God.
• 0:29
  I do not want to run simply because something
• 0:32
  has become difficult, but I also do not want
• 0:35
  fear, familiarity, or comfort to keep me somewhere
• 0:40
  when you are calling me forward. Give me discernment.
• 0:44
  If you are telling me to stay, give me strength
• 0:47
  to stay. If you are telling me to wait, give
• 0:51
  me patience to wait. If you are telling me to
• 0:54
  return, give me humility to return. And if you
• 0:58
  are telling me to move, give me courage to move.
• 1:02
  God, teach me the difference between a difficult
• 1:05
  season I must endure and a completed season I
• 1:09
  must release. Do not allow temporary discomfort
• 1:13
  to make me abandon an assignment you are still
• 1:17
  developing. But do not allow temporary comfort
• 1:20
  to make me remain where your purpose is calling
• 1:24
  me to leave. Holy Spirit. direct my steps. God,
• 1:29
  Israel entered Egypt because Egypt was once a
• 1:33
  place of preservation, but Egypt was never the
• 1:37
  promise. So help me understand that something
• 1:40
  can have been right for yesterday without being
• 1:44
  right for tomorrow. Teach me to be grateful for
• 1:47
  what a place has given me without becoming imprisoned
• 1:51
  by familiarity. If a season has completed its
• 1:55
  assignment, Give me grace to release it. If a
• 2:00
  door has closed because you are redirecting me,
• 2:03
  keep me from continually trying to reopen it.
• 2:07
  If something that once fit no longer fits because
• 2:11
  you are developing something new within me, help
• 2:15
  me recognize the change. And if I am trying to
• 2:19
  leave before I have learned what this season
• 2:21
  came to teach me, slow me down. Do not let me
• 2:25
  escape the classroom before the lesson is complete
• 2:29
  Lord sometimes I ask you get me out of this But
• 2:35
  perhaps you are saying let me first get something
• 2:38
  out of you So refine me here if there is pride
• 2:42
  in me remove it if there is impatience in me
• 2:46
  Discipline it if there is fear in me strengthen
• 2:49
  my faith if I depend too much upon people's approval
• 2:54
  Bring me back to you. If my priorities have become
• 2:58
  confused, reorder them. If comfort has weakened
• 3:02
  my prayer life, awaken me again. If I have wandered,
• 3:07
  bring me back into obedience. Your word says,
• 3:10
  before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now
• 3:14
  I obey your word. So God, do not allow my difficult
• 3:18
  season to be wasted. If this season makes me
• 3:21
  pray again, let me pray. If it makes me seek
• 3:24
  you again, let me seek you. If it makes me reconsider
• 3:28
  my priorities, reorder my life. If it exposes
• 3:32
  something that needs to change, change me. If
• 3:35
  it teaches me something I will need in my next
• 3:39
  assignment, teach me completely. God, protect
• 3:43
  me from looking backward when you are calling
• 3:46
  me forward. I refuse to return to familiar bondage
• 3:51
  simply because unfamiliar freedom requires faith
• 3:54
  i refuse to worship comfort i refuse to worship
• 3:59
  familiarity i refuse to make security more important
• 4:03
  than obedience my security is in you my future
• 4:06
  is in you my purpose is in you therefore i declare
• 4:11
  i will not miss my next season because i am afraid
• 4:15
  to release the last one i will not move before
• 4:18
  god i will not remain behind god I will move
• 4:22
  with God. I declare that every temporary place
• 4:26
  will produce what God intends to develop in me.
• 4:29
  The pit will not be wasted. The waiting will
• 4:33
  not be wasted. The wilderness will not be wasted.
• 4:37
  The uncomfortable season will not be wasted.
• 4:40
  I will learn what I need to learn. I will surrender
• 4:43
  what I need to surrender. I will release what
• 4:46
  I need to release. And when God says move, I
• 4:50
  will move. God, order my steps. Sharpen my discernment.
• 4:55
  Quiet the voice of fear. Break unhealthy attachment
• 4:59
  to yesterday. Give me wisdom for today and prepare
• 5:04
  me for tomorrow. If the place is temporary, teach
• 5:08
  me there. If the season is difficult, refine
• 5:11
  me there. If the door is closing, direct me.
• 5:15
  If the road is opening, lead me. I declare. I
• 5:19
  will not confuse my current location with the
• 5:22
  conclusion of my story. God is still writing.
• 5:26
  God is still directing. God is still preparing.
• 5:29
  God is still repositioning. And whether he tells
• 5:32
  me to stay, wait, return, or move, I choose obedience
• 5:37
  over comfort. I am learning. I am moving. I am
• 5:42
  becoming. I am being refined for a purpose. In
• 5:46
  the name of Jesus Christ. Amen You are not alone.
