Daily Prayer 03-19-26 · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am a Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer. And as always I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: invite you to join along with me in prayer. And
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: today I just want to pray about us. You know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we all have different things that we're carrying, and I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just want us to carry it with grace. Oh Heaven
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a Father, in the name of Jesus, Today we come
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: before you, honest and open, saying, Lord, help us to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: handle the weight with grace. Father, some days feel heavier
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: than others. There are responsibilities, there are expectations. There are
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: precious and unseen battles that we carry, and sometimes God,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it feels like too much, like we're being stretched beyond
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: our capacity. But Lord, we know that nothing we face
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is a surprise to you. So today we ask God,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: teach us how to carry what you've allowed and release
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what you never intended us. To give us the wisdom
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to cast what we need to cast. The worries that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: keep us up at night, the fears about the future,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the opinions of others that weigh on our spirit, the guilt,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the shame, the pressure to be everything to everyone. Lord,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we lay it at your feet. Help us not to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: pick it up again. Remind us that you are carrying it. God,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we don't have to teach us to release control and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to trust you fully and completely. But Father, for the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: weight that you are using to grow us. The responsibilities,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the assignments, the stretching seasons, give us the strength to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: carry it with grace. Don't let us complain through what
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is meant to mature us. Don't let us run from
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what's meant to refine us. Don't let us break under pressure. God,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: when you are building strength within us, help us to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: recognize the difference between a burden that we need to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: release and a weight that is developing our character. Lord,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mature us. Grow our patience God when things don't move
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: as fast as we won't. Grow our faith when we
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: don't understand what you're doing. Grow our endurance when we
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: feel like giving up. Let every challenge push us closer
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to purpose, not further away from it. Father, Move us
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: toward destiny. Order our steps even in the hard places.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Align our lives with your will. Let nothing we go
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: through be wasted. Use every lesson, every delay, every difficulty
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to prepare us for what You've already prepared for us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And Lord, while we're carrying this season. Let us carry
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it with grace. Grace and how we respond grace, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: how we treat others grace, and how we trust you grace,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and how we keep going even when it's hard. When
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we feel overwhelmed, remind us that your grace is sufficient.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: When we feel weak, remind us that your strength is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: made perfect in our weakness. So today, Father, we render
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the weight to you. We cast what we should not carry,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We embrace what you're using to grow us, and we
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: trust that you're leading us every step of the way.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
