  Speaker 1: I am sharing, Nackie. It is time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always, I asked
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me. You know, I was
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: praying with some friends the other day and one of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the things we talked about is how easy it is
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: for us to make idols out of people and out
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of things. So I want to pray about that today,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you with hearts heavy with conviction. God Lord, we confess
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: there have been times, far too many times when we've
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: placed men and their opinions and their thoughts are pleasing them.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We've placed possessions or status, or our own desires above you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Forgive us, Lord, for building idols in the quiet corners
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of our heart, for elevating the opinions of others over
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your truths, for chasing after approval and achievement and comfort
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: while neglecting intimacy with You, Lord God, we repent. We
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: lay down every idol, those we see and even those
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: hidden from our sight. Tear them down, God, in the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, tear down the need to be seen,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the hunger to be praised, the fear of being forgotten,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: tear down every image that we've crafted that's not from you. God,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we surrender them and lay them at your feet. Your
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: word says you shall have no other gods before you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And yet, God, we've often let our loyalty drift, turning
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: our hearts toward created things instead of the Creator. Oh God, Today, Lord,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we return to you. We return with tears and trembling,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: asking you got cleanse our heart. We you're a right
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: spirit within us. Give us wisdom, God, wisdom to desern
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: what is from you and what distracts us from You.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Give us wisdom to choose obedience over popularity, purpose over pleasure,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and devotion over distraction. Teach us God to seek first
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: your kingdom and your righteousness, trusting everything else we truly
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: need will be added in your perfect timing, and also God,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in your perfect way. Let nothing God, no relationship, no ambition,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: no possession ever ever rival your place in our lives. Again, Who,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, be our compass. Keep our hearts soft, our
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: ears open, and our feet walking steadily in your will. God.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: When we're tempted to bow to lesser things, remind us
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of the Cross. Remind us that only You are worthy
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of worship. Only You satisfy only you save, and now God,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we recommit our lives to you. You alone are our portion,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You aloner our hope, You aloneer our joy. God, consume
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: every idol with your holy fire, and reign in every
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: part of us. God, let us live, let us breathe,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we've let us move and serve for your glory only, God,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we want your will for our lives. We want you, God,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to be honored in everything that we do. God, we
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: love you, we honor you, we praise you in the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: matchless name of Jesus. Amen. Amen, Amen,
