  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey. It is time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And this morning,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I want us to protect our peace. Father God, in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the mighty, matchless, powerful name of Jesus, we come before
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you today asking you to guard our hearts, protect our minds,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and give us the wisdom, God, to protect the peace
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that you've placed on the inside of us. Lord, your
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: word says in Isaiah 26 and 3, you will keep
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: because they trust in you. And Father, we need that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: perfect peace today because sometimes, Lord, we allow people, we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: allow circumstances and situations to steal what you freely gave
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to us. We allow somebody else's attitude to ruin our day.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We allow a negative comment to disturb our confidence. We
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: allow yesterday's disappointment to rob us of today's joy. We
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: allow ourselves to become consumed by things we can't control
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: but today. Lord, we make a decision. We will protect
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: our peace. Father, teach us that protecting our peace does
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not mean we don't care. It means we understand that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: our emotional, spiritual and mental well-being does matter. Help us
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: recognize when we need to step away from an argument.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Stop explaining ourselves to people who refuse to understand and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: establish healthy boundaries without having guilt. Lord, give us the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: courage to say no when saying yes is costing us
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: our peace. Give us discernment to recognize relationships that constantly
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: drain us. Help us to stop entertaining conversations that produce
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: nothing but confusion and anger and division. And Father, when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: people misunderstand us, help us resist the urge to defend
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: ourselves to everybody. Remind us that you know our hearts,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you know the truth, and we don't have to chase
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the approval of people when we're secure in you. Lord,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: protect us from our own thoughts too. Protect us from overthinking.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Protect us from imagining the worst. Protect us from comparing
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: our lives to other people's lives. Protect us from replaying
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the painful conversations over and over again. Help us to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: release what we cannot change and trust you with what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we cannot control. When anxiety rises, give us peace. When
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: anger rises, give us self-control. When disappointment comes, give us perspective.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And when chaos surrounds us, remind us that you are
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: our refuge. You are our strength. Father, help us to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: stop allowing everybody access. to our emotions, to our time,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to our energy, and to our spirit. Oh, God, teach
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: us that we can love people without allowing their behavior
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to control us. We can forgive without returning to unhealthy situations.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We can be kind without abandoning wisdom. We can walk
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: away without hatred in our hearts. Lord, let our peace
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be rooted in you, not in perfect circumstances because people
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: may change, plans may fail, doors may close, unexpected situations
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: may arise, but you remain faithful and So today, we
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: surrender every argument, every worry, every disappointment, and every situation
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that has disturbed our peace. We release the need to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: control everything. We release the need to have the last word.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We release the burden of carrying what belongs to you. Today, God,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: we receive your peace. Father, cover our homes with peace.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Cover our families with peace. Cover our relationships with peace.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Cover our minds with peace. Let peace follow us into
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: our workspaces, our conversations, our decisions, and our daily lives.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And when something threatens that peace, give us wisdom to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: recognize it. The strength to respond appropriately and the faith
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to keep our hearts anchored in you. We will not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: allow every distraction. to become our emergency. We will not
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: allow every opinion to become our burden. We will not
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: allow every battle to steal our peace. And our peace
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is precious. Our mind matters. Our hearts matter. And because
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: we belong to you, we will walk in the peace
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that you provide. Lord, let your peace that surpasses all
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: understanding guard our hearts and our minds through Jesus Christ. Today,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we choose peace. We choose wisdom. We choose to trust
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in you. And whatever comes our way, remind us that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we don't have to lose our peace just because life
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: is not perfect. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen, amen,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and amen.
