Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
- 0:06Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: today I was just thinking about how so often we're
- 0:13Speaker 1: operating in fear, fear of what could, should or might happen,
- 0:18Speaker 1: and then we're scared. We're scared about those things. Well,
- 0:22Speaker 1: today I want to pray against that spirit of fear.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Heavenly Father and the name of Jesus Christ, we come
- 0:29Speaker 1: before you today acknowledging that you are the God who
- 0:32Speaker 1: sees all, You know all, and you hold all things
- 0:36Speaker 1: in your hand. Lord, you are our refuge, our fortress,
- 0:39Speaker 1: and our ever present help in times of trouble. Yet, Father,
- 0:43Speaker 1: if we're honest, there are moments when the unknown scares us,
- 0:47Speaker 1: the future feels uncertain, the path ahead is unclear, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: fear tries to creep into our hearts. But today, Lord,
- 0:55Speaker 1: we choose to rest in the truth. And what is
- 0:57Speaker 1: unknown to us is never unknown to you. You are
- 1:01Speaker 1: Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You saw
- 1:05Speaker 1: our tomorrow before we were even formed in our mother's wound.
- 1:09Speaker 1: You have already gone ahead of us, preparing the way,
- 1:12Speaker 1: making cricket places straight and setting divine appointments that we
- 1:16Speaker 1: have yet to see. Father, we ask you to break
- 1:19Speaker 1: the chains of fear that try to hold us back.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Your word says, if you've not given us a spirit
- 1:25Speaker 1: of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind,
- 1:28Speaker 1: we refuse to let anxiety dictate our decisions. We will
- 1:31Speaker 1: not allow worry to rob us of the joy you've
- 1:35Speaker 1: promised and said. We choose to step into the unknown
- 1:38Speaker 1: with boldness, knowing that you walk beside us. Lord. When
- 1:42Speaker 1: the enemy whispers what if, help us to answer with
- 1:45Speaker 1: even if God is still in control. When doubt rises,
- 1:49Speaker 1: replace it with fear. When our needs tremble, God, let
- 1:53Speaker 1: our hearts stand firm in your promises. Remind us God
- 1:56Speaker 1: that you are the God who parted the Red Sea,
- 1:59Speaker 1: who shut the mouth of the lions, who walk with shad,
- 2:02Speaker 1: drag me shek and a betting to go in the fire,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and you are still the same God today. Father, Help
- 2:09Speaker 1: us to release control, Help us to surrender every unanswered
- 2:13Speaker 1: question into your capable hands. Teach us to live in
- 2:17Speaker 1: the peace that comes from trusting your character. Even where
- 2:20Speaker 1: we can't see your plan. Fill our hearts with courage,
- 2:24Speaker 1: not the absence of fear, but the confidence that You
- 2:27Speaker 1: are greater than anything we might face. And Lord, let
- 2:32Speaker 1: us not just survive the unknown, Let us thrive in it.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Let it be the place where our faith grows deeper,
- 2:39Speaker 1: our prayers grow stronger, and our testimonies shine brighter. Let
- 2:43Speaker 1: us look back one day and say, God, it was
- 2:47Speaker 1: an uncertainty that I saw, by hand of God move
- 2:50Speaker 1: the most. Today, God, we declare that fear will not
- 2:53Speaker 1: have the final say. Faith will, Worry will not be
- 2:56Speaker 1: our companion. Worship will and the unknown will not be
- 3:00Speaker 1: our enemy. It will be the canvas where you paint
- 3:04Speaker 1: the masterpiece in our lives. We trust your Lord with
- 3:07Speaker 1: what we can't see, because you are faithful and you
- 3:10Speaker 1: are true, and we give you all the glory, for
- 3:13Speaker 1: the victory is already yours, and the mighty, wonderful matchalist
- 3:18Speaker 1: name of Jesus, Amen, Many
