  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with us in prayer. Today, I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: just want to do a prayer of thanksgiving because at
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, God has been good. He's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: been so, so good. we need to take the time
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: sometime just to say, Lord, thank you. Father, in the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: mighty name of Jesus, before we ask you for another thing,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: we just want to say thank you. Lord, you've been
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: good to us, better than we deserve, better than we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: could have imagined, better than we could ever repay. When
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we look back over our lives, when we see your
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: fingerprint everywhere, Thank you for the doors you opened that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: nobody could shut. Thank you for the doors you closed, God,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that we didn't even understand at the time but later
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: realized you were protecting us all along. Thank you for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the battles you fought that we didn't even know were happening.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the dangers you kept us from. Thank
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you for the accidents we never knew almost happened. Oh, God,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we thank you. The sickness you didn't allow to take
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: us out. The people you removed from our lives because
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you knew what we didn't know. The places you wouldn't
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: let us go. The decisions you wouldn't let us make. Lord,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: thank you for protecting us from the things we prayed
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for that would have happened. Thank you for delivering us
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: from fear, anxiety, addiction, bitterness, unforgiveness. Thank you for delivering
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: us from those toxic relationships, bad decisions, destructive habits, wrong
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: connections and environments that were not good for us. Thank
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you for bringing us through the grief, through the disappointment,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: through the heartbreak, through betrayal, through financial struggles, through sickness,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: through those lonely nights, through seasons when we didn't understand
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what you were doing. And somehow, Lord, we're still here. Yes, God,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we've got scars, but we're still standing. Yes, we've cried
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: some tears, but we're still standing. Oh, we may have
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: been knocked down, but by your grace, God, we were
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: able to get back up. Thank you for every blessing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we sometimes take for granted. Thank you for waking us
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: up this morning. Thank you for breath in our bodies.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you for another day. Thank you for family and friends.
• 2:14

  Speaker 1: Thank you for opportunities. Thank you for provision. Thank you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: for the blessings that we can see. And Lord, even
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: thank you for the blessings we don't even sometimes recognize. Oh,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: thank you for making a way where there seemed to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: have been no way. Thank you for providing when we
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: didn't know where provision would come from. Thank you for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: giving us strength. when we didn't think we had any

• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you for forgiveness. Thank you for another chance. Thank you
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for not treating us according to our mistakes, but loving
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: us according to your wonderful grace. Lord, if we had 10,000 tongues,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: We couldn't thank you enough. So today we won't complain
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about what we don't have. We're going to praise you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for what we do have. We won't focus on the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: doors that haven't opened yet. We're going to thank you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: for the doors you've already opened. God, we won't dwell
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: on where we're going. We'll stop and celebrate how far
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we've already come. Because when we look back, God, we
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: can testify you kept us. Oh God, you covered us.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: You provided for us. You protected us. You restored us.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You forgiven us. You blessed us. You've loved us and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you never left us. Oh, Lord God, you've been so
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: good to us. And if you never do another thing,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you've already done enough for us to praise you for
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the rest of our lives. So with everything within us, God,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we say thank you. Thank you for keeping us. Thank
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you for blessing us. Thank you for loving us. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thank you for being faithful, yet faithful. And God, we
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: bless your name, not just for what you've done, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: simply because of who you are. In Jesus' name, amen.
