  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie in his 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 along with me in prayer. Today as
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we celebrate Holy Week, I just want to say, Lord,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I thank you for the cross, gracious and loving Father.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: During this sacred Holy Week, we pause, we quiet our hearts,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and we intentionally say thank you. Thank you for your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: unfelling love, the kind of love that reached beyond heaven
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and sent your only son Jesus to the cross for us.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Thank You for grace that we could never earn, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mercy that will never never be deserved by us. Lord,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Today we remember the sacrifice. We remember the nails that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: pierced his hand and his feet, Lord, the crown of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: thorns pressed upon his head, and the weight of our
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: sin that he carried on his shoulder. God, we remember
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the pain, the suffering, the shame he endured. Yet he
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: chose to stay on that cross because of his love
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for us. What an incredible, selfless act of love. Father,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Forgive us for the times we've taken that sacrifice lightly.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Forgive us for the moments we've complained instead of praise,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: worried instead of worshiped and overlooked the very price that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was paid for our freedom. Today, God, we make a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: conscious decision to shift our focus, to move from frustration
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to gratitude, from heaviness to thanksgiving. Thank you for your salvation, God,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you for redemption. Thank you for calling us your own.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Thank You for our past is forgiven. Our president is
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: coming in our future. It's secure in you, and Lord,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we're especially grateful that the story didn't even end at
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the cross. Come all, Jesus, thank you for resurrection. Power,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: power that brings life, power that restores, the power that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: gives us hope beyond our circumstances. Now, Father, let our
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lives be true reflections of our gratitude. Let everything we do,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: our words, our actions, even our attitudes out of the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: sacrifice Jesus made for us. Oh, teach us, O, God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to walk in humility, to love like you love, to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: serve with grateful hearts. God, help us not to just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: feel thankful in this moment, but to live thankful every
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: single day. Let gratitude overflow from our hearts and be
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: evident in how we treat others. Let it touch our families,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Let it touch our communities. Let it touch everyone that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we encounter, Lord, we say thank you, thank you, thank you,
• 2:45

• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the victory. Thank you for Jesus Christ and Jesus need. Amen.
