- 0:34Speaker 1: be honest, God, we got weary soul. You know us,
- 0:37Speaker 1: You know us better than we even know ourselves. So
- 0:40Speaker 1: we don't come to you pretending to be anything. You
- 0:43Speaker 1: see what nobody else sees, the thoughts that race through

- 1:20Speaker 1: Don't let bitterness find a place to rue. Don't let

- 1:27Speaker 1: with your spirit, that we can love like you love
- 1:30Speaker 1: and live like you lead us to. Oh Father, God,
- 1:34Speaker 1: keep our minds when anxiety tries to steal our peace. God,
- 1:39Speaker 1: when confusion clouds our thoughts, when doubt whispers lies in
- 1:44Speaker 1: the stillness. Lord, cover our minds with the helmet of salvation.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Let every thought bow before Jesus Christ. Replace our worry
- 1:55Speaker 1: with worship. God. Silence the noise of fear with the
- 1:59Speaker 1: sound of your truth in the world of God. Let
- 2:02Speaker 1: us think on things that are true and noble, and right,
- 2:06Speaker 1: and peer and lovely and praise worthy. God, let your
- 2:09Speaker 1: word be the loudest voice in our lives. Let us
- 2:12Speaker 1: clearly hear you. God. You said in your word that
