Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join in with me in prayer. And today,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I just want to pray that you don't give up
- 0:12Speaker 1: on God. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ,
- 0:14Speaker 1: we come before you today with hearts that need encouragement.
- 0:18Speaker 1: and spirits that need refreshing. Lord, we're asking you to
- 0:22Speaker 1: strengthen every person who's struggling to hold on to their faith.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Somebody has been praying for a long time. Somebody's been
- 0:29Speaker 1: waiting for an answer. Somebody has cried so many tears
- 0:32Speaker 1: that they don't know what else to say. And somebody
- 0:36Speaker 1: is beginning to wonder if things will ever change. Father,
- 0:38Speaker 1: remind them today, don't give up on God. Don't give
- 0:42Speaker 1: up because the answer hasn't come yet. Don't give up
- 0:45Speaker 1: because the door hasn't opened. Don't give up because the
- 0:48Speaker 1: people you counted on walked away. And don't give up
- 0:51Speaker 1: because the situation looks different from what you promised or
- 0:55Speaker 1: what they expected. Your word declares in Isaiah 40, 31,
- 0:58Speaker 1: that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
- 1:02Speaker 1: So Lord, renew our strength. When our faith is weak,
- 1:05Speaker 1: strengthen us. When our hearts are discouraged, encourage us. When
- 1:09Speaker 1: our minds are overwhelmed, remind us of your faithfulness. Father,
- 1:13Speaker 1: help us to remember the times you made a way
- 1:15Speaker 1: when there was no way. Remember the bills we didn't
- 1:18Speaker 1: know how we would pay, the storms we didn't know
- 1:21Speaker 1: how we would survive, the heartbreaks we thought would destroy us,
- 1:24Speaker 1: and the battles we never imagined we could win. Oh,
- 1:27Speaker 1: yet here we are. Not because life has been easy,
- 1:30Speaker 1: but because your grace has been sufficient. Thank you, Lord. Lord,
- 1:35Speaker 1: forgive us for the moments when we allowed what we
- 1:37Speaker 1: see to become greater than what we believe. Forgive us
- 1:41Speaker 1: for measuring your faithfulness by our circumstances. Teach us, God,
- 1:45Speaker 1: that silence does not mean you've abandoned us. Waiting does
- 1:48Speaker 1: not mean... You've forgotten us and the difficult season does
- 1:51Speaker 1: not mean you stop working. Father, help us to trust
- 1:54Speaker 1: you when we can't trace you. Help us to pray
- 1:57Speaker 1: when we don't have the words. Help us to worship
- 1:59Speaker 1: when our hearts are heavy. Help us to keep doing
- 2:02Speaker 1: what's right even when we don't see immediate results. For
- 2:06Speaker 1: the person believing for healing. Help them to hold on, God.
- 2:09Speaker 1: For the parent praying for a child, help them hold on.
- 2:13Speaker 1: For the person struggling financially, grieving a loss, fighting discouragement,
- 2:17Speaker 1: or trying to rebuild their life, remind them that they
- 2:21Speaker 1: don't have to face tomorrow in their own strength. Your
- 2:25Speaker 1: word declares in Galatians 6, 9 that they will reap
- 2:28Speaker 1: in due season if they don't give up. So, Father,
- 2:31Speaker 1: give us endurance for the journey and wisdom for the
- 2:33Speaker 1: next step. Help us recognize when to persevere, when to
- 2:37Speaker 1: seek help, and when to surrender our plans into your hand. hands. Oh,
- 2:40Speaker 1: we may be tired, but we'll keep trusting. We may
- 2:43Speaker 1: be hurting, but we'll keep praying. We may not understand,
- 2:46Speaker 1: but we will not turn away from you. Lord, hold
- 2:49Speaker 1: us steady when life shakes us. Anchor our hearts in
- 2:52Speaker 1: your promises and remind us that our hope is not
- 2:55Speaker 1: in perfect circumstances. It is in the faithful God. We
- 2:58Speaker 1: will not give up on you, Lord, because you have
- 3:02Speaker 1: never given up on us. In the name of Jesus, amen, amen,
- 3:07Speaker 1: and amen. Thank you, Lord.
