Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It's time right now for us
- 0:03Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer, and as always, I
- 0:05Speaker 1: invite you to join along with us in prayer. And
- 0:09Speaker 1: I just you know, sometimes we just need to let
- 0:11Speaker 1: it go. You said, let what go, share, whatever your
- 0:14Speaker 1: it is, let it go, Heavenly Father, Today we come
- 0:17Speaker 1: before you with an honest heart. Lord. There are things
- 0:20Speaker 1: that we've been carrying for far too long, things that
- 0:23Speaker 1: we can't change, things we can't fix, things we can't undo.
- 0:27Speaker 1: There are memories we keep replaying, words we can't forget,
- 0:31Speaker 1: wounds that still hurt, and situations that we continue to
- 0:35Speaker 1: revisit in our minds. Father, Today we cry out to you, Lord,
- 0:40Speaker 1: help us to let it go. Help us to let
- 0:43Speaker 1: go of the pain, Help us to let go of
- 0:44Speaker 1: the disappointment, Help us to let go of the betrayal.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Help us to let go of the anger, Help us
- 0:49Speaker 1: to let go of the guilt. Help us to let
- 0:51Speaker 1: go of the need to understand why it happened. Lord,
- 0:55Speaker 1: We've held on because we thought Holy God would somehow
- 0:58Speaker 1: change the past. But today we realize that we can't
- 1:02Speaker 1: move forward while constantly reaching backward. Oh, we can't embrace
- 1:06Speaker 1: what you have for us in our hands, if our
- 1:09Speaker 1: hands are still holding tightly to what you are asking
- 1:13Speaker 1: us to release. Father, help us to release the people
- 1:15Speaker 1: who have hurt us, not because what they did was right,
- 1:18Speaker 1: but because we refuse to let what they did have
- 1:21Speaker 1: power over the rest of our lives. Help us to
- 1:24Speaker 1: forgive even when forgiveness feels difficult. Help us to understand
- 1:28Speaker 1: that forgiveness is not saying the pain didn't matter. It
- 1:32Speaker 1: is choosing not to let the pain control our future. Lord,
- 1:36Speaker 1: Help us to let go of the guilt and the
- 1:38Speaker 1: shame connected to our own mistakes. We can't change what
- 1:41Speaker 1: we did, but we can surrender it to your grace.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Remind us that our worst moment does not cancel your
- 1:48Speaker 1: purpose for our lives. Where we've repented, God, help us
- 1:52Speaker 1: to stop punishing ourselves for what you've already forgiven. You said,
- 1:56Speaker 1: if we confess our sins, you're faithful and just to forgive,
- 2:00Speaker 1: give us and cleanses of all on righteousness. We receive
- 2:04Speaker 1: that today. Father, Help us to let go of the
- 2:06Speaker 1: need to control everything. We surrender the situations we can't change.
- 2:10Speaker 1: We surrender the people we can't control. We surrender the
- 2:13Speaker 1: outcomes we can't determine. We surrender our timelines and our expectations. Lord,
- 2:19Speaker 1: teach us to trust you with what we can't carry.
- 2:22Speaker 1: And now we declare we're letting it go. We're letting
- 2:25Speaker 1: go of what hurt us. We're letting go of what
- 2:27Speaker 1: disappointed us. We're letting go of what we can't change.
- 2:31Speaker 1: We're letting go of the need for an apology we
- 2:34Speaker 1: may never receive. We're letting go of the questions that
- 2:38Speaker 1: may never be answered. We're letting go of the past
- 2:40Speaker 1: so that we can receive the future that you have
- 2:43Speaker 1: prepared for us. Father, take every burden we carry in
- 2:46Speaker 1: exchange it for your peace. Take every heavy thought and
- 2:49Speaker 1: replace it with hope. Take every painful memory and use
- 2:53Speaker 1: it as a testimony of your healing power. Today we
- 2:56Speaker 1: choose freedom, we choose peace, We choose forgiveness. We choose
- 3:00Speaker 1: to trust you. We choose to believe that our best
- 3:02Speaker 1: days are not behind us. Lord, We release it into
- 3:06Speaker 1: your hands, and we refuse to pick it back up tomorrow.
- 3:09Speaker 1: What we can't fix, you can handle. What we can't heal,
- 3:12Speaker 1: you can restore, And what we can't understand, we can
- 3:16Speaker 1: still trust you with it. Thank you, for giving us
- 3:19Speaker 1: the grace to release what has been weighing us down.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Thank you for reminding us that we don't have to
- 3:25Speaker 1: carry yesterday until tomorrow. Father, help us to let it
- 3:28Speaker 1: go completely so that we can walk freely, love fully,
- 3:32Speaker 1: live boldly, and become everything that you called us to be. God,
- 3:36Speaker 1: we leave the past in your hands, and we step
- 3:38Speaker 1: into our future with faith in the mighty, healing and
- 3:40Speaker 1: refraining name of Jesus. Amen, Amen, Amen,
