  Speaker 1: I am a Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer. And it's always I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: invite you to join along with me in prayer. And
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: today I want to pray for the ladies, you know,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the ladies, not you, not you. I'm talking about ladies
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like me who keep putting themselves last. They're juggling career
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and family and obligations and responsibilities. They're caring for everybody else,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but they need to remember that they matter too, Heavenly Father,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: today we lift up every woman who is carrying the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: weight of so many responsibilities. Lord, she's professional, she's a mother,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: she's a wife, she's a daughter, she's a sister, she's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a caregiver, she's a friend, she's a ministry leader. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: problem sovereign, and when everyone seems to call when they
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: need something, she's constantly pouring out, giving, serving, providing andcouraging
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and making sure everyone else is okay. But Father, today
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: we pray for her. You know, the woman who's become
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: so accustomed to taking care of everyone else that she's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: forgotten how to take care of herself. She's so busy
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: meeting everyone else's need that she's neglected her own. She's exhausted,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but she keeps on going. She's overwhelmed, but she keeps smiling.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: She's hurting, but she keeps showing up. Father, remind her
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: today that she matters too. Help her understand that taking
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: care of herself is not selfish. Resting is not weakness,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Setting healthy boundaries is not wrong. Saying no one it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: necessary does not make her a bad person. Teach her
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that she cannot continue pouring from an empty vessel. Lord,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: give her permission to pause, Give her permission to Breathe
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: give her permission to rest, Give her permission to say,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I need help. Father, renew her strength, Restore what has
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: been depleted. Remind her God that she matters. Refresh her mind,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: replenish her spirit. Heal the parts of her that have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: been neglected while she was busy caring for everyone else. Lord,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: help her release the guilt she feels when she takes
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: time for herself. Remind her that she doesn't have to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: earn risks. She doesn't have to apologize for needing a break.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: She doesn't have to carry every burden simply because she's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: capable of carrying it. Father, give her wisdom to know
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what is truly hers to carry and what she needs
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to place in your hands. Help her to recognize that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: she can love her family without losing herself. Phone she
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: can pursue her career without sacrificing her piece. She can
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: serve others while not abandoning her own well being. Lords
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: around her with people who will pour into her, oh
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the way she pours into everyone else. Give her space
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: where she can feel vulnerable. Give her relationships where she
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to always be the strong one. And today, Father,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we declare over every woman listening. We matter. Our health
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: mess Our peace matters, our dreams matter, our voice matters,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: our purpose matters, our joy matters. God. We will not
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: feel guilty for taking care of ourselves. We will not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: neglect ourselves to prove our love for anybody else. We
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: will not confuse exhaustion with strength. We will not continue caring.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But God never asks for us to carry. Oh, God,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we give ourselves permission to rest, to heal, to grow,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and to become a hole. Father, remind us that we
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: are more than what we produce. God, we are more
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: than a job. We are more than the roles we fulfilled.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Before God, we were somebody's mother somebody's wife, somebody's bought,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: somebody's employees, somebody's caregiver. We were yours, and Lord, let
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: us never forget that we are your beloved daughter. So
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: today we ask you to breathe a new life into us.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Restore our jewel, renew our strength, reignite our dreams. Give
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: us the courage to put ourselves back on the list,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: not above everybody else, but alongside everybody else. Thank you Lord,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: for every woman who gives so much of themselves to others. Now, Father,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: teach us how to receive. Let this be a season
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: where we stop merely surviving and begin to thrive in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the mighty healing, refreshing, and restoring name of Jesus. Amen, Amen,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and Amen,
