  Speaker 1: And you know, I think about so often we get
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: caught up in ourselves. We get caught up in our pressure,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: our issues, our situations, our lives, and we forget about
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the people around us. And today I just want to say, Lord,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: use me. That's what I want to pray about. Heavenly Father,

  Speaker 1: today with humbled hearts and open hands, offering ourselves to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you once again. God. We don't come claiming to have
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: all the answers or all the strength. We simply come saying, Lord,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: use me, Use me, God, even in the small ways
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that matter. Use me to make someone smile when their
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: heart feels heavy. Use me to speak a kind word
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: when someone is on the edge of giving up. Use
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: me to show patience, compassion, and grace and a world
• 1:05

  Speaker 1: Use me God to remind someone that their life still
• 1:20

• 1:24
  Speaker 1: are not for God. Use me, Father to help someone
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: dream again. Dream beyond disappointment, dream beyond limitation, dream beyond fear.
• 1:34

  Speaker 1: Use me, Lord to help someone believe again. To believe
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in You even when faith feels fragile. Believe in love
