Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It is time first to go to God in prayer,
- 0:02Speaker 1: and as always I ask that you join along with
- 0:05Speaker 1: me in prayer. You know I was thinking about in prayer.
- 0:09Speaker 1: You know, sometimes we pray for God's will to be
- 0:12Speaker 1: done in our lives, but we really want his permissive will.
- 0:15Speaker 1: We want to do what we want to do and
- 0:17Speaker 1: want God to bless it. The reality is we just
- 0:20Speaker 1: need to surrender every area of our lives to Heaven.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Don't hold anything back. Let's pray about that this morning. Father, God,
- 0:31Speaker 1: we come to you right now on the name of
- 0:34Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, just as we are. No pretense, no mass,
- 0:40Speaker 1: no excuses. God, we lay everything at your feet today,
- 0:44Speaker 1: our hearts, our plans, our dreams, our fears, and even
- 0:48Speaker 1: the things we've tried to hide. Lord, we surrender all
- 0:52Speaker 1: to you, not just the easy things, not just the
- 0:56Speaker 1: broken pieces. God, we give you the things that we
- 0:59Speaker 1: still want to try to control. God, we give you
- 1:02Speaker 1: those secret places. We give you our pride, We give
- 1:06Speaker 1: you our reputation. We give you our expectations. God, we
- 1:11Speaker 1: give you our past, with all its pain and failures. God,
- 1:15Speaker 1: we give you our future, the unknown and the uncertain.
- 1:19Speaker 1: God take it all. We lay it at your feet. God,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we don't want to hold anything back from you. If
- 1:25Speaker 1: there's anything in us that's not like you, God, burn
- 1:29Speaker 1: it out, refine us, purify us, strip us of every
- 1:34Speaker 1: idol and every false comfort, until all that's left God
- 1:39Speaker 1: is a heart fully yielded to you. Jesus, you gave
- 1:44Speaker 1: everything for us, not withholding even your own life on
- 1:49Speaker 1: the cross. How could we offer you less than our
- 1:52Speaker 1: whole self. So here we are, Lord, Our hands are open,
- 1:58Speaker 1: our hearts are exposed. God. Our will is bowed down
- 2:01Speaker 1: to you. God. We say yes to your will, yes
- 2:04Speaker 1: to your way, Yes to the pruning, if that's what
- 2:08Speaker 1: it takes to bear fruit for your glory. God. We
- 2:11Speaker 1: surrender our gifts. We surrender our calling, our relationships, our finances,
- 2:16Speaker 1: our time, our tower, everything to you. God. We let
- 2:20Speaker 1: go of striving, We let go approving and performing. God,
- 2:24Speaker 1: we receive your grace, your love, and your power. God.
- 2:27Speaker 1: We want nothing more than to know you, than to
- 2:31Speaker 1: love you and to live for you. God, let our
- 2:35Speaker 1: lives be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing in your sight. God.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Not our will, but God, Yours be done. We trust you, God,
- 2:44Speaker 1: We need you
