  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. Oftentimes, the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: enemy knows he can't stop God's purpose and plan for
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: your life, so he'll bring distractions. I want to pray
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: against those distractions today. Oh, Heavenly Father, in the name
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, we come before you asking you to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: quiet everything around us that has been competing for our
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: attention and pulling us away from you and the purpose
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you've placed before us. Lord, remove every distraction. Some distractions
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are obvious, but others are subtle distractions. Some are people,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: some are opportunities, some are worries, some are habits, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: some are simply the noise of life. There are things
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that may not be sinful, but they are consuming time, energy,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and attention that you've called us to use differently. Father,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: give us discernment to recognize what is a distraction and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what is truly an assignment from you. Help us to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: distinguish between what's urgent and what's important. Give us wisdom
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to know what deserves our attention and courage to walk
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: away from what does not. Lord, don't allow distractions to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: cause us to miss our divine appointments, our divine opportunities,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: our blessings, and the purposes that you've ordained for our lives.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Protect us. from the people who constantly drain us. Environments
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that disturb our peace and conversations that produce confusion and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: relationships that pull us away from your will. Father, quiet
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the distractions in our minds. We come against the constant overthinking, worrying, fear, comparison,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and mental noise. that keeps us from hearing your voice clearly.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Give us the discipline, God, a disciplined mind and a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: focused spirit. Help us to stop looking at what everyone
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: else is doing and focus on what you called us
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to do. Lord, remove the distraction of comparison. Remove the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: need for approval. Remove the fear of missing out. Remove
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the temptation to chase things simply because they look good
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in somebody else's life. Father, help us to understand that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: everything that is available to us is not necessarily assigned
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to us. Give us the wisdom to say no without
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: guilt and the courage to say yes when you're leading
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: us forward. And today, God, we declare we will not
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: be distracted from our purpose. We will not allow temporary
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: things to interfere with eternal life. We will not allow
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: people to pull us out of position. We will not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: allow fear to keep us from moving forward. We will
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not allow disappointments to make us lose focus. We will
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: not allow busyness to replace intimacy with you alone. God,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we will keep our eyes on Jesus Christ. We will
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: keep our heart aligned with God's will. We will keep
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: moving toward the purpose God has placed before us. Oh, Father,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: sharpen our focus, order our priorities, guard our time, protect
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: our energy. Give grace, God. to finish what you called
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: us to start. If something is not from you, give
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: us the courage to release it. If a relationship is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: distracting us, God, give us wisdom. If an opportunity is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: distracting us, give us discernment. If our own desires are
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: distracting us, give us discipline. And if the enemy is
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: using distraction as a strategy to delay our destiny, expose it, God,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and give us the strength to overcome it. Lord, bring
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: us back to what matters. Bring us back to prayer.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Bring us back to your word. Bring us back to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: your purpose. Bring us back to peace. Bring us back
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to you. Father, we refuse to spend another season distracted
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: from what you called us to become. God, our eyes
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: are forward, our heart is focused, our steps are ordered,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and our purpose is secured. Oh, God, we trust you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to lead us into everything you've prepared for us in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the mighty, focused, and purposeful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen, amen,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and amen.
