Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. I heard somebody say the
- 0:07Speaker 1: other day, as we're approaching Valentine's Day, that it's singleness
- 0:12Speaker 1: Awareness Day or that is one of the loneliest days
- 0:18Speaker 1: of the year. I want to pray today and remind
- 0:21Speaker 1: you that you are not alone. Heavenly fathering the name
- 0:25Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, today we come before you during this
- 0:30Speaker 1: time that celebrates love. But for many hearts, this day
- 0:36Speaker 1: feels heavy, it feels quiet, and it feels painfully empty. God,
- 0:42Speaker 1: we lift up the single people who long to be chosen,
- 0:46Speaker 1: or to choose or find someone to share their lives with,
- 0:52Speaker 1: the widow, the widower who still sets two cups of
- 0:56Speaker 1: coffee at the table in their mind, the divorce to
- 0:59Speaker 1: remember what once was, and even the married who lie
- 1:04Speaker 1: beside someone yet.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Feel completely alone.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Lord, you see every heart that is aching in silence.
- 1:13Speaker 1: You see the tears that fall when no one is watching.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You see the social media smiles.
- 1:18Speaker 2: That hide real pain.
- 1:21Speaker 1: You see the memories, the longing, the unanswered prayers.
- 1:25Speaker 2: And today we ask you to draw near to the lonely.
- 1:29Speaker 1: God, be close to those who feel forgotten. Be gentle
- 1:33Speaker 1: with those who are grieving, and be present with those
- 1:36Speaker 1: who feel invisible in their own homes. Remind us that
- 1:41Speaker 1: our work is not defined by a relationship status, that
- 1:46Speaker 1: our value is not measured by who chose us or.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Who left us.
- 1:52Speaker 1: That our identity is not found in another person, but
- 1:55Speaker 1: our identity is in.
- 1:57Speaker 2: You, Lord.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Feel empty spaces with your presence, Feel quiet wounds with
- 2:04Speaker 1: your peace, Feel aching hearts with your love. And for
- 2:08Speaker 1: the single, God, you restore hope. For the grieving, you
- 2:12Speaker 1: bring comfort for the lonely. In marriage, you bring healing
- 2:17Speaker 1: and honest connection. Heal the wounds of rejection. God, heal
- 2:23Speaker 1: the pain of abandonedly. Heal the fear that whisper you
- 2:28Speaker 1: will always be alone.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Lord, let your love be louder than that lie. Wrap
- 2:35Speaker 2: your arms.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Around every heart that feels unwanted, that feels overlooked, and
- 2:40Speaker 1: feels unloved. Today, let them feel your nearness in a
- 2:44Speaker 1: real and personal way, and remind us God of this truth.
- 2:50Speaker 1: We are fully known, we are deeply loved, and we
- 2:54Speaker 1: are never alone because.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You are with us. You never leave us, and you
- 3:00Speaker 2: never forsake us. In Jesus name, Amen, Amen,
