Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackey. It's time for us to go
- 0:02Speaker 1: to God in prayer. And as always, I invite you
- 0:04Speaker 1: to join along with me in prayer. Sometimes we need
- 0:07Speaker 1: to be reminded of who we are, that we are
- 0:09Speaker 1: a royal priesthood and a chosen generation. Father God, in
- 0:13Speaker 1: the mighty, matchless, and powerful name of Jesus. We come
- 0:16Speaker 1: before you today with grateful hearts, humbled by your love,
- 0:19Speaker 1: humbled by your grace and your mercy and the incredible
- 0:23Speaker 1: identity you've given us through Jesus Christ. Lord, today, remind
- 0:26Speaker 1: us of who we are in you. Your word declares
- 0:29Speaker 1: in 1 Peter 2, 9, but you are a chosen generation,
- 0:32Speaker 1: a royal priesthood, a holy nation of peculiar people that
- 0:36Speaker 1: you should show forth the praises of him who has
- 0:39Speaker 1: called you out of darkness into the marvelous light. Father,
- 0:42Speaker 1: let that word settle deep within our spirits today. We
- 0:45Speaker 1: are chosen. We are royal. We belong to you. Lord,
- 0:49Speaker 1: there are times when life makes us forget our worth.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We allow rejection to make us feel unwanted. We allow
- 0:55Speaker 1: mistakes to make us feel disqualified. We allow our past
- 0:58Speaker 1: to convince us that we can't be used by you.
- 1:01Speaker 1: We allow the opinions of others to become louder than
- 1:04Speaker 1: your word. But today, Father, silence every lie that has
- 1:07Speaker 1: tried to diminish who you created us to be. Remind
- 1:10Speaker 1: us that our identity is not determined by our past,
- 1:13Speaker 1: our mistakes, our bank account, our relationship status, our job title,
- 1:18Speaker 1: or somebody else's opinion. Our identity is rooted in you. Lord,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we are a royal priesthood. We've been called to represent you,
- 1:26Speaker 1: to reflect your love, to declare your goodness. So help
- 1:29Speaker 1: us to walk with confidence, not arrogance, but the confidence
- 1:32Speaker 1: of knowing that we are loved by the King of Kings.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Help us to stop shrinking, to make other people comfortable.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Help us stop apologizing for the gifts that you placed
- 1:42Speaker 1: on the inside of us. Help us to stop allowing
- 1:44Speaker 1: rejection to make us question our own value. Help us
- 1:48Speaker 1: to stop comparing our journey to somebody else's journey. God,
- 1:51Speaker 1: we are fearfully and wonderfully made in your likeness and image.
- 1:54Speaker 1: We are created with purpose. We are called to be
- 1:57Speaker 1: a light in this dark world. Father, remind us that
- 2:00Speaker 1: royalty is not just about what we perceive. It's about
- 2:03Speaker 1: how we represent the one we belong to. Let our
- 2:06Speaker 1: words reflect your wisdom. Let our actions reflect your kindness
- 2:10Speaker 1: let our character reflect your holiness let our lives pour
- 2:13Speaker 1: people toward you lord wherever we go help us to
- 2:16Speaker 1: remember that we carry the responsibility and the privilege god
- 2:20Speaker 1: of representing your kingdom in our homes on our jobs
- 2:24Speaker 1: in our relationships and even in difficult situations let us
- 2:27Speaker 1: walk with character and integrity when people mistreat us help
- 2:31Speaker 1: us to respond with grace When people doubt us, help
- 2:35Speaker 1: us to remain grounded. When opportunities come, God, give us humility.
- 2:39Speaker 1: When blessings arrive, keep us grateful. And when we fall short,
- 2:43Speaker 1: remind us that your grace is still available. Father, for
- 2:46Speaker 1: every person who feels overlooked, remind them that you see them.
- 2:49Speaker 1: For those who feel forgotten, remind them that you know
- 2:52Speaker 1: their name. For those who feel disqualified, remind them that
- 2:56Speaker 1: you can still use a surrendered heart. For those who
- 2:59Speaker 1: feel like their path is defined, then remind them that
- 3:02Speaker 1: you are the God who makes all things new. Help
- 3:06Speaker 1: us to live like people who understand that we've been
- 3:08Speaker 1: called out of darkness into your marvelous light. Let us
- 3:11Speaker 1: not hide our testimonies. Let us not bury our gifts.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Let us not waste the opportunities that you placed before us.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Use our voices to encourage others. God, use our hands
- 3:20Speaker 1: to serve other people. Use our lives to make a difference.
- 3:23Speaker 1: And when the world tries to tell us that we're
- 3:26Speaker 1: not enough, Lord, your word reminds us that our value
- 3:29Speaker 1: comes from Christ. You, we are chosen. We are loved.
- 3:33Speaker 1: We are called. We belong to the King of Kings. Father,
- 3:36Speaker 1: let us walk boldly in the purpose that you placed
- 3:38Speaker 1: before us, knowing that we don't have to compete with
- 3:41Speaker 1: anybody else to fulfill what you called us to do.
- 3:43Speaker 1: We're your people. We're your representatives. We're a royal priesthood.
- 3:46Speaker 1: And God, let our lives continually declare the praises of
- 3:49Speaker 1: the one who called us out of darkness into the
- 3:52Speaker 1: marvelous light. Oh, Father God, we trust you. We praise you.
- 3:55Speaker 1: We honor you. In Jesus' name, amen.
