Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time right now for
- 0:03Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer, and as always,
- 0:05Speaker 1: I invite you to join along with me in prayer.
- 0:09Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I pray is, Lord,
- 0:13Speaker 1: use me. Lord. I'm available, Lord, I surrender. When was
- 0:19Speaker 1: the last time you surrender to God and say I
- 0:22Speaker 1: can be used by you. I'm a vessel to be
- 0:25Speaker 1: used by you. And that's what I want to pray
- 0:28Speaker 1: about on today, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus,
- 0:31Speaker 1: we come before you today with open hearts and surrendered lives.
- 0:35Speaker 1: We are not coming with perfection, but God with willingness,
- 0:39Speaker 1: not coming with all the answers, but with a simple
- 0:42Speaker 1: and honest prayer. Lord, We're available to you. Use us. God.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We lay ourselves at the altar, our plans, our dreams,
- 0:51Speaker 1: our gifts, and even our fears. God, we release the
- 0:55Speaker 1: need to control outcomes, to chase recognition, or to wait
- 0:59Speaker 1: until we feel ready. Today God, we simply say yes,
- 1:04Speaker 1: Yes to your will, Yes to your way, Yes God
- 1:08Speaker 1: to your timing. Lord. Use us in the places where
- 1:13Speaker 1: we are right now. Use us in our homes, use
- 1:16Speaker 1: us in our workplaces, use us in our churches. Use
- 1:19Speaker 1: us in our communities. God, Use us to speak life
- 1:23Speaker 1: where there's been discouragement. Use us to show compassion where
- 1:27Speaker 1: there is her. God, use us to extend grace where
- 1:30Speaker 1: there is division. Use us to shine light where there
- 1:34Speaker 1: is darkness. Father, Remove anything in us that would hinder
- 1:39Speaker 1: your work. Cleanse our hearts, God, renew our minds. Align
- 1:43Speaker 1: our desires with yours. Break off fear, God, break off insecurity,
- 1:48Speaker 1: Break off pride and doubt that tells us we're not enough.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Remind us God that you don't call the qualified, you
- 1:55Speaker 1: qualify the cold. So, Lord, here we are. We're broken God, God,
- 2:00Speaker 1: but we are willing. We're imperfect, God, but we are available.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Teach us God to listen to your voice. Teach us
- 2:06Speaker 1: God to obey without hesitation. Give us boldness God to
- 2:10Speaker 1: step out in faith and humility, to serve without needing applause.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Use our hands to help, use our mouths to encourage,
- 2:20Speaker 1: Use our feet to go where you send us. Use
- 2:23Speaker 1: our lives to point others to you. Father. We trust
- 2:26Speaker 1: that when we place ourselves in your hands, you'll use
- 2:30Speaker 1: us for purposes greater than we can imagine. Not for
- 2:33Speaker 1: our glory, but for yours so today and every day God,
- 2:37Speaker 1: we declare, Lord, we're available to you. Use us. Lord,
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the mighty name of Jesus, we pray Amen. Amen,
