- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always I invite
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with us in prayer. And today
- 0:10Speaker 1: I just want to pray as we're leading up to
- 0:13Speaker 1: Father's Day weekend, for our fathers. Today, we lift up
- 0:18Speaker 1: every father who feels overwhelmed by the responsibilities of life. Lord.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Some are carrying burdens that few people ever see. They're
- 0:26Speaker 1: working long hours, They're making difficult decisions, they're navigating challenges
- 0:31Speaker 1: at work. They're providing for their families. They're trying to
- 0:34Speaker 1: be a source of strength for everyone around them. While
- 0:37Speaker 1: others see the smile, you see the pressure, while others
- 0:41Speaker 1: see the strength God. You see the silent prayers and
- 0:45Speaker 1: the private struggles, the tears. They wouldn't dare cry because
- 0:49Speaker 1: they're told men don't cry. Father, remind every dad today
- 0:54Speaker 1: that he doesn't have to be perfect. He simply needs
- 0:57Speaker 1: to remain faithful. Help him understand that you never called
- 1:01Speaker 1: him to have all the answers. You called him to
- 1:05Speaker 1: trust the one who does have all the answers. When
- 1:08Speaker 1: he feels inadequate, remind him that your strength has made
- 1:12Speaker 1: perfect in weakness. When he feels like he's falling short.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Remind him that your grace is sufficient for every challenge
- 1:18Speaker 1: we face. Lord, Quiet the worries that keep him awake
- 1:21Speaker 1: at night. Calm the fears about the future. Ease the
- 1:25Speaker 1: concerns about finances, about health, about family, and responsibilities that
- 1:30Speaker 1: weigh heavily upon his heart. Help him to trust that
- 1:33Speaker 1: you are Jehovah Jirah, his provider, and that you will
- 1:37Speaker 1: supply every need according to your riches in glory, Oh Father,
- 1:42Speaker 1: Give him moments of rest in the middle of life's demands.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Renew his mind when strength has become overwhelming, Refresh his
- 1:50Speaker 1: spirit when exhaustion tries to take hope, and restore the
- 1:54Speaker 1: joy God that may have been buried beneath responsibility. Let
- 1:58Speaker 1: him find strength not all only and what he does,
- 2:01Speaker 1: but in who you are. Lord. Remind every father that
- 2:05Speaker 1: his labor is not in vain. Every sacrifice matters, every
- 2:09Speaker 1: prayer matters, every lesson taught, every ride given, every bill paid,
- 2:13Speaker 1: every word of encouragement, every act of protection, and every
- 2:17Speaker 1: expression of love is seen by you. Even when he
- 2:20Speaker 1: feels unappreciated, unnoticed. Let him know that Heaven keeps record
- 2:25Speaker 1: of his faithfulness. Father, Strengthen the fathers who are raising
- 2:28Speaker 1: children alone. Encourage the fathers who are separated from their children.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Comfort those grieving the loss of a child. Heal father's
- 2:36Speaker 1: carrying regret over past misstakes. Remind them that your mercy
- 2:40Speaker 1: is greater than their failures, and that your grace is
- 2:43Speaker 1: still writing their story today. Lord, place a hedge of
- 2:48Speaker 1: protection around every father, filling with wisdom, filling with courage,
- 2:52Speaker 1: filling with patience, and filling with peace. Help him lead
- 2:56Speaker 1: with integrity, help him lead with love and with compassion.
- 2:59Speaker 1: And walk closely God with you. And when the road
- 3:02Speaker 1: feels long and the burdens feel heavy, remind him that
- 3:05Speaker 1: he's not carrying them alone. You are walking beside him
- 3:08Speaker 1: every step of the way. We thank you for every father,
- 3:11Speaker 1: every father figure, every grandfather, every mentor every spiritual father.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Blessed them a fondly God, and let them feel your
- 3:18Speaker 1: presence in a special way today and every day in
- 3:21Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
