- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time right now for
- 0:03Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer. And as always,
- 0:06Speaker 1: I ask that you join along with me in prayer.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Hezekai Walker has a song I need you to Survive,
- 0:12Speaker 1: and at my family reunion from time to time we'll
- 0:15Speaker 1: sing that song and you think about the lyrics. I
- 0:19Speaker 1: won't harm you with the words of my mouth. I
- 0:23Speaker 1: love you and I need you to survive. I want
- 0:27Speaker 1: to pray about that, Oh, Heavenly Father, in the name
- 0:30Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, we come before you today, hearts humbled
- 0:34Speaker 1: and spirits united, Thanking you God for the gift of community.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Thank you for the people that You've placed in our
- 0:41Speaker 1: lives to walk beside us on this journey of faith. Lord,
- 0:45Speaker 1: your word reminds us that we are one body, many members,
- 0:49Speaker 1: each one important, each one needed. And today God, we
- 0:53Speaker 1: declare from the depths of our hearts. I need you,
- 0:57Speaker 1: you need me, and we are all a part of God,
- 1:00Speaker 1: God's body. Father, in a world that tries to divide
- 1:03Speaker 1: and isolate us, teach us to see each other through
- 1:07Speaker 1: the eyes of love. Help us to remember that we
- 1:10Speaker 1: are stronger together, that my brother's pain is my pain.
- 1:14Speaker 1: That my sister's victory is my joy. Bind us together,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Lord with cords that cannot be broken, chords of compassion, forgiveness,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and unity in the spirit. Lord, When envy tries to rise,
- 1:26Speaker 1: let love overcome it. When pride tries to separate us,
- 1:30Speaker 1: let humility bring us back together. When offenses try to
- 1:34Speaker 1: build walls, let your grace tear them down. Remind us
- 1:38Speaker 1: God that we were never meant to do life alone.
- 1:42Speaker 1: You designed us to need one another, to pray for
- 1:46Speaker 1: one another, to lift one another, to speak life when
- 1:49Speaker 1: the world speaks death. Lord, give us the courage to say,
- 1:53Speaker 1: I won't harm you with the words of my mouth.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I love you, I need you to survive. Father, heal
- 2:01Speaker 1: the broken places in our relationships. Heal families torn apart
- 2:05Speaker 1: by misunderstanding. Heal friendships wounded God by pride. Heal church
- 2:10Speaker 1: is divided by difference. Let your love flow like healing
- 2:14Speaker 1: all manning what's been torn down, restoring what's been lost,
- 2:17Speaker 1: and renewing what's been weakened. God, make us peacemakers, teach
- 2:22Speaker 1: us to be encourage us. Let our words bring life,
- 2:26Speaker 1: not death. Hope not heard. When we see someone struggling,
- 2:29Speaker 1: help us not to turn away, but to reach out
- 2:32Speaker 1: with love, with prayer, with compassion. Lord, fill us with
- 2:36Speaker 1: such divine love that it overflows beyond ourselves. Let it
- 2:40Speaker 1: reach our homes, our neighborhoods, and our workplaces and our communities.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Because love, real love, is what holds us together. And
- 2:49Speaker 1: through that love we reflect You, the one who loved
- 2:52Speaker 1: us first. So today, Father, we thank you for every
- 2:56Speaker 1: person you placed in our lives, for those who pray
- 2:58Speaker 1: for us in silence, for those who lift us up
- 3:01Speaker 1: when we're low, For those who remind us we're not alone.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And we pray, Lord, help us to be that person
- 3:08Speaker 1: for someone else. God, we need each other. Lord, We
- 3:12Speaker 1: need your spirit to buy in our hearts as one.
- 3:15Speaker 1: We need your grace to forgive. We need your strength
- 3:18Speaker 1: to adoring. We need your love to survive. And as
- 3:21Speaker 1: we stand together in faith, we declare, I need you,
- 3:25Speaker 1: you need me. We're all a part of God's body,
- 3:28Speaker 1: and with your love holding us together, Lord, we will survive.
