Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. I've got to admit, as
- 0:07Speaker 1: soon as I started hearing talks of government shut down,
- 0:10Speaker 1: it took me back to the last time the government
- 0:14Speaker 1: was shut down for what a month or two a man,
- 0:17Speaker 1: and I was thinking about my family members, my loved ones,
- 0:21Speaker 1: my friends who work for the government, and me knowing
- 0:25Speaker 1: how this shut down last time affected them. And here
- 0:30Speaker 1: we find ourselves there again. So I want to pray
- 0:32Speaker 1: for those affected by the government shut down. Heavenly Father,
- 0:36Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you
- 0:38Speaker 1: today with heavy hearts, knowing that so many people are
- 0:42Speaker 1: hurting and uncertain because of this government shut down. Lord,
- 0:47Speaker 1: you see every family that is struggling, every worker that
- 0:51Speaker 1: has been furloughed, every household wondering how to make ends meet.
- 0:55Speaker 1: You see the stress, You see the fear, You see
- 0:58Speaker 1: the frustration, And God, we're grateful that you care. Your
- 1:02Speaker 1: word reminds us to cast our cares on you because
- 1:06Speaker 1: you care for us. So right now we lift up
- 1:08Speaker 1: every man, every woman, and every child impacted, asking you
- 1:13Speaker 1: to be their provider, their sustainer, and their peace in
- 1:17Speaker 1: the middle of this storm. Father, we pray for the leaders,
- 1:21Speaker 1: the lawmakers on both sides. You have placed them in
- 1:24Speaker 1: the position of authority, not to serve themselves, but to
- 1:28Speaker 1: serve the people. Soften their hearts. God, remove the pride,
- 1:32Speaker 1: remove the revenge, remove the selfish ambition, and replace it
- 1:37Speaker 1: with humility, compassion, and wisdom. Let them see beyond political
- 1:42Speaker 1: party lines and personal agendas, and let them remember the
- 1:46Speaker 1: citizens they were elected to serve. Lord, remind them that
- 1:51Speaker 1: leadership is stewardship, and one day they will give account
- 1:56Speaker 1: to you. God. We pray against the spirit of division
- 1:59Speaker 1: that is tearing at the fabric of our nation. Your
- 2:03Speaker 1: word tells us that a house divided against it self
- 2:06Speaker 1: cannot stand. So we ask in the mighty name of
- 2:09Speaker 1: Jesus that you heal the breach. Bind us together in unity,
- 2:13Speaker 1: Restore trust where there is suspicion, understanding, where there is hostility,
- 2:18Speaker 1: and dialogue where there is silence. Let your love and
- 2:23Speaker 1: righteousness roll down like waters in justice, like a mighty
- 2:27Speaker 1: stream in this land. Father, strengthen your people. Let this
- 2:31Speaker 1: crisis draw us closer to You and closer to one another.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Provide for every family that doesn't know how they're going
- 2:39Speaker 1: to pay their bills. Give peace to every parent worried
- 2:42Speaker 1: about their children. Let the church rise up in generosity
- 2:46Speaker 1: and compassion and in prayer during this time. Remind us
- 2:49Speaker 1: that through the systems of man, and though they may fail,
- 2:54Speaker 1: you never fail. You are still Jehovah Jira, You're still
- 2:59Speaker 1: our provider, you are still el Shade, the God Almighty.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And so we place this nation in your hands. We
- 3:07Speaker 1: place our leaders in your head. We place every family
- 3:10Speaker 1: impacted in your hands, and we ask that you bring resolution.
- 3:15Speaker 1: God you bring restoration, and God you bring revival. Out
- 3:18Speaker 1: of what the enemy meant or harm. We believe that
- 3:22Speaker 1: you're able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that
- 3:27Speaker 1: we could ask, or think or even imagine. And we
- 3:30Speaker 1: declare that the peace of God, which passes all understanding,
- 3:34Speaker 1: will God our hearts and our minds. In Christ Jesus
