  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I invite
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you to join with me in prayer. There's so many
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: people who are dealing with pressure. Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: from the expectation of people, pressure from life and just life,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: lifing in general. And I just want to pray that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: God will be our strength under pressure. Heavenly Father, in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you today
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: acknowledging the life can way heavy on our hearts and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in our spirits. God, all the pressure of daily living,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: family responsibilities, financial struggles, health battles, work demands, and unspoken fears.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels like too much for us to bear.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But Lord, we are reminded today that we are not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: carrying these loads alone. You said in your word, cast
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all of our cares on you, because you care for us.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So today, Father, we cast the pressure, We cast the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: weight and the burdens into your mighty hands. Lord, we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: confess that at times we feel pressed on every side.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yet your word promises that though we are pressed, we
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: are not crushed. Though we are struck down, we are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: not the short. Father. Let the truth of that word
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: take root in our spirits. Today, when pressure rises, let
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: us remember that it is producing perseverance, and it's producing
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: character and hope on the inside of us. The very
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: weight that tries to break us will be used by
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you God to build us up. Lord, help us to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: breathe in your peace and exhale all the anxieties and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: all the fear and all the frustration. God, replace our
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: stress with your strength, and our panic with your perfect peace.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Remind us that pressure does not define us all promises do.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: When our hearts are overwhelm, God, lead us to the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: rock that is higher than we are. Oh. When the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: weight feels unbearable, teach us God to lean on your
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: everlasting arms, where we find refuge and we find rest.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, give us the courage to keep standing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when life pushes heart against us. Give us wisdom to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: know when to be still and when to move forward.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Remind us that pressure is not punishment. It is preparation.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It is shaping us, It is refining us, It is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: drawing us closer to You. Let us not despise the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: pressing seasons, but see them as opportunities for your glory
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to be revealed in us. Lord, strengthen every weary heart
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: right now, left, every bow down head right now, Renew
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: every tired spirit right now, Infuse us with hope that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: does not disappoint. Teach us to trust that you are
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: working all things together for our good, even when the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: pressure feels unbearable. So today God, we declare, we will
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not give in to fear, We will not give up
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: under the weight, and we will not turn away from you. Instead, God,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we will press into prayer, we will press into worship,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and we will press into your word. God, For under pressure,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you make us stronger. Under pressure, you draw us closer.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Under pressure, you reveal that your grace is sufficient and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: your power is made perfect in our weakness. Oh God,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we give you glory, we give you honor, and we
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: give you praise in Jesus' name. Amen,
