Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry KNACKI, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always, I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join me in prayer. My aunt Lula Mila
- 0:10Speaker 1: ma a genie, she always shares these scriptures and prayers
- 0:14Speaker 1: every morning with my family, and we kind of go
- 0:16Speaker 1: back and forth, you know, praising God or encouraging one another.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And she shared something about waiting for God and Lord
- 0:24Speaker 1: that blessed me, and I want to pray that over
- 0:27Speaker 1: us today. Gracious and Almighty Father, we come before you
- 0:30Speaker 1: today with hearts that are longing, souls that are restless,
- 0:34Speaker 1: and minds that are weary from the weight of life's uncertainties.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Your word reminds us in Psalms sixty two and five,
- 0:42Speaker 1: my soul waits silently for God alone, for my expectation
- 0:48Speaker 1: is from Him. Lord. In this moment, we quiet our
- 0:52Speaker 1: spirits before you. We lay aside the noise of our worries,
- 0:57Speaker 1: the chatter of doubt, and the voice of fear, and
- 1:00Speaker 1: we lean into the stillness of your presence. Father. We
- 1:04Speaker 1: confess that waiting is not always easy. We live in
- 1:08Speaker 1: a microwave society. We won't answers quickly. We will break
- 1:12Speaker 1: through immediately, and we often grow impatient when things don't
- 1:17Speaker 1: move according to our timetable. But today, God, we declare
- 1:21Speaker 1: that our hope is not in people, Our security is
- 1:24Speaker 1: not in our possessions, and our future is not in circumstances.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Our hope is in you and you alone. Teach us
- 1:32Speaker 1: Lord to trust your time, and teach us God to
- 1:35Speaker 1: rest in your plan. Teach us God to believe that
- 1:39Speaker 1: you are always working behind the scenes for our good God.
- 1:43Speaker 1: For the one who feels overlooked today, let them know
- 1:46Speaker 1: that you see them. For the one who feels forgotten,
- 1:50Speaker 1: let them sense You're ever lasting arms holding them close.
- 1:54Speaker 1: For the one who's growing weary in the waiting, God,
- 1:57Speaker 1: breathe new strengthen to their soul. Help us to understand
- 2:01Speaker 1: that the waiting season is not wasted, that you are
- 2:04Speaker 1: shaping us, that you are refining us, that you are
- 2:07Speaker 1: preparing us for greater things to come. Lord, When our
- 2:10Speaker 1: hearts grow restless, remind us to return to the well
- 2:14Speaker 1: of your word. When our minds are clouded with doubt,
- 2:18Speaker 1: worst for your promises of peace, and when we feel
- 2:21Speaker 1: like giving up, remind us God that those who wait
- 2:24Speaker 1: on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount
- 2:27Speaker 1: up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not grow,
- 2:30Speaker 1: wherein they shall walk and not faith Father God, we
- 2:33Speaker 1: wait with expectation, not with dread, God, not with fear,
- 2:37Speaker 1: but with hope, because we know that you are faithful.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You have never failed us, and God you never will.
- 2:46Speaker 1: So God, today we release our timelines into your hands.
- 2:50Speaker 1: We surrender our agendas to your will, and we rest
- 2:54Speaker 1: in the assurance that what you've spoken you will also
- 2:58Speaker 1: bring to pass. Thank you, Lord for being our rock.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Thank you Lord for being our refuge. Thank you Lord
- 3:04Speaker 1: for being our salvation. Thank You for being the peace
- 3:08Speaker 1: that comes when we wait silently in your presence. We
- 3:11Speaker 1: lift this prayer with confidence, believing that our expectations are
- 3:16Speaker 1: not in vain because it rests in You. In the mighty, matchless,
- 3:22Speaker 1: wonderful name of Jesus, we pray and we wait patiently
- 3:26Speaker 1: God for you. In Jesus' name, Amen,
