Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Nacki, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always I ask
- 0:07Speaker 1: that you join alongside me in prayer. And on today,
- 0:11Speaker 1: I want to pray about our hearts. You know, it's
- 0:13Speaker 1: so easy when life is lifing and people are people,
- 0:17Speaker 1: and if I'll be honest, that we allow bitterness and
- 0:21Speaker 1: unforgiveness to get into our hearts. So I want to
- 0:24Speaker 1: pray against allowing that poison to get into our heart.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, we come before you today with open hearts,
- 0:30Speaker 1: acknowledging that life brings voices and opinions that try to wound, belittle,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and discourage us. Lord, you see the whispers behind our backs,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the words spoken to break us, the lies designed to
- 0:44Speaker 1: crush our spirit. But today we declare that we will
- 0:47Speaker 1: not let that poison in. Father, you are the one
- 0:50Speaker 1: who defines us, not the critics, not the haters, not
- 0:54Speaker 1: those who misunderstand us. You've called us chosen, beloved, rich, deemed,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and set apart. Remind us every day that no matter
- 1:04Speaker 1: what others may say, our identity rests safely in You, Lord.
- 1:08Speaker 1: When words of rejection try to echo in our minds,
- 1:11Speaker 1: let the louder sound of your promise, rise up, promises
- 1:15Speaker 1: of victory, Promises of purpose and favor, and a future
- 1:19Speaker 1: filled with hope. God, we lift to you every wound
- 1:23Speaker 1: caused by harsh words, every betrayal, every act of jealousy
- 1:28Speaker 1: or envy that has come against us. God, we release
- 1:31Speaker 1: it into your hands. We refuse to carry the weight
- 1:34Speaker 1: of bitterness. We choose forgiveness because we know that unforgiveness
- 1:39Speaker 1: is poison to the soul. Lord, heal the places in
- 1:43Speaker 1: us that still ache. Replace the sting of rejection with
- 1:47Speaker 1: the sweetness of your love. Father.
- 1:49Speaker 2: We pray for strength to.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Focus on the path that you set before us. Teach
- 1:55Speaker 1: us not to waste time fighting battles. You never ask
- 1:58Speaker 1: us to fight us. To silence the need to defend ourselves,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and instead rest in the assurance that you are our vindicator.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Your word declares that those who hate us will be
- 2:11Speaker 1: clothed with shame. So we trust you to deal with
- 2:15Speaker 1: every false tongue, every unfair attack, every hidden plot against us. Lord,
- 2:21Speaker 1: as we run our race, keep us standing, keep us
- 2:24Speaker 1: diligent and doing good even when it goes unnoticed.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Keep us humbling.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Moments of success and gracious when we are wronged, God,
- 2:32Speaker 1: our hearts from being a harm, and let us be
- 2:35Speaker 1: known not for retaliation, but by love, by patience, and
- 2:39Speaker 1: by peace. We ask for fresh joy God, the kind
- 2:43Speaker 1: that cannot be shaken by criticism or negativity. Let your
- 2:47Speaker 1: spirit fill us with courage, so that no matter what
- 2:50Speaker 1: rises against us, we will stand tall, unshaken, knowing the
- 2:54Speaker 1: God of Heaven fights for us. And finally, Lord, we
- 2:57Speaker 1: pray for those that have set themselves in against us.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Touch their hearts, God, open their eyes and bring.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Healing to their brokenness.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But we know that hurt people hurt people, and it's
- 3:09Speaker 1: only your grace that can transform them. Father, thank you
- 3:13Speaker 1: that you.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Are our shield, our defender, and the keeper of our hearts.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Today we choose peace over poison, joy over bitterness, and
- 3:21Speaker 2: faith over fear. We believe that as we keep our
- 3:24Speaker 2: eyes on you, you will lift us higher.
- 3:27Speaker 1: You'll protect our name and bring us into the destiny
- 3:30Speaker 1: You've already prepared in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus.
- 3:34Speaker 1: We pray and we say Amen, Amen, Amen,
