Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always, we ask
- 0:06Speaker 1: that you join along with us in prayer. Today Sometimes
- 0:10Speaker 1: we just said, Lord, carry me through whatever you're through is,
- 0:14Speaker 1: or whatever thing you need to be carried through. The
- 0:17Speaker 1: Lord God. As we pause during this Holy week, we
- 0:21Speaker 1: reflect on the incredible strength Jesus carried as he walked
- 0:26Speaker 1: towards the cross, step by step, burden yet determined, he
- 0:30Speaker 1: endured pain, he endured rejection, he endured suffering, all because
- 0:34Speaker 1: of his love for us. And today, Father, we humbly
- 0:38Speaker 1: ask for that same strength to feel our lives. Because Lord,
- 0:43Speaker 1: the truth is, some of us are tired. Some of
- 0:46Speaker 1: us are weary. Some of us are carrying burdens that
- 0:49Speaker 1: feel far too heavy to bear. There are silent struggles,
- 0:54Speaker 1: unspoken worries, and battles that others may not even see.
- 0:58Speaker 1: But we are grateful today that your word reminds us
- 1:02Speaker 1: that we don't have to carry these burdens alone. So Father,
- 1:05Speaker 1: strengthen us. Strengthen us mentally when our thoughts feel overwhelm,
- 1:10Speaker 1: Strengthen us emotionally when our hearts feel heavy. Strengthen us spiritually,
- 1:15Speaker 1: When our faith feel stretched, remind us that you are
- 1:19Speaker 1: our source, our refuge, and our ever present help. In
- 1:22Speaker 1: times of trouble. When we feel like giving up, Lord,
- 1:24Speaker 1: remind us of the Cross. Remind us of what Jesus
- 1:28Speaker 1: endured and the victory that followed. When we feel weak,
- 1:31Speaker 1: remind us that your strength is made perfect in our weakness.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Where we lack, God, you are more than enough. Give
- 1:39Speaker 1: us endurance to keep going when the journey feels long,
- 1:42Speaker 1: Give us courage to keep believing when doubt tries to
- 1:45Speaker 1: keep creep in. And give us unwavering faith to keep
- 1:49Speaker 1: trusting You even when we don't understand the path that
- 1:52Speaker 1: we're on. Lord, help us to remember the Sunday is coming,
- 1:57Speaker 1: that what looks like an ending is not an end
- 2:00Speaker 1: at all, but the beginning of something so much greater,
- 2:04Speaker 1: that even in the darkest moments, resurrection power is already
- 2:08Speaker 1: at work behind the scenes. So today, Father, we ask
- 2:13Speaker 1: you to carry us through. Carry us through every challenge,
- 2:17Speaker 1: carry us through every uncertainty, carry us through every moment.
- 2:21Speaker 1: God of weakness, lift every burden that weighs us down.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Ease every worry that troubles our mind. Replace our heaviness
- 2:29Speaker 1: with your peace and our anxiety with your calm assurance.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Teach us to lean on you completely.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Not partially, not occasionally, but fully coheart. Teach us God
- 2:41Speaker 2: to trust that you are holding us, that you are
- 2:44Speaker 2: guiding us, if you are strengthening us every step of
- 2:48Speaker 2: the way. And as you carry us, Lord, Oh, help
- 2:52Speaker 2: us to rise stronger, help us to walk boldly, help
- 2:55Speaker 2: us to live confidently. And the power that you provide, God,
- 2:58Speaker 2: we think you.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Would advance for the strength we need, knowing God that
- 3:02Speaker 1: you are faithful to provide in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
