Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God and prayer. And as always I invite
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with us in prayer. And I
- 0:09Speaker 1: don't want you to worry. My grandmother used to always say,
- 0:14Speaker 1: if you're gonna worry, don't pray. But if you're gonna pray,
- 0:16Speaker 1: don't worry. You know. Luke twelve, twenty five twenty six
- 0:20Speaker 1: reminds us that worry cannot change our circumstances, but trust
- 0:24Speaker 1: in God, who changes our perspective. Today we come before you,
- 0:28Speaker 1: Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, laying down
- 0:31Speaker 1: every bird and every anxious thought, every heavy concern that
- 0:35Speaker 1: has weighed upon our Heart's Lord, your word in Luke
- 0:38Speaker 1: twelve reminds us that worry cannot add a single hour
- 0:42Speaker 1: to our lives. It cannot change our circumstances. It cannot
- 0:46Speaker 1: heal our bodies, it cannot restore our families, It cannot
- 0:49Speaker 1: provide what we need. So today, Father, we choose to
- 0:52Speaker 1: release what we cannot control into your hands, in the
- 0:56Speaker 1: hands of the one who controls everything. Forgive Lord, forgive
- 1:00Speaker 1: us for the times that we've allowed worry to become
- 1:03Speaker 1: louder than our worship. Forgive us for rehearsing our fears
- 1:06Speaker 1: instead of remembering your faithfulness. Too often we've spent sleepless
- 1:12Speaker 1: nights trying to solve problems that only you can fix.
- 1:15Speaker 1: So today we surrender them to you. Father. There are
- 1:19Speaker 1: those listening to this prayer who are worried about their health,
- 1:22Speaker 1: their finances, their children, their marriages, their jobs, their future.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Pam are wondering how they're gonna make ends meet. Others
- 1:29Speaker 1: are waiting on a diagnosis, praying for a breakthrough, or
- 1:32Speaker 1: believing for a miracle. Lord, you already know every concern
- 1:36Speaker 1: before we speak it. Nothing about our lives is hidden
- 1:39Speaker 1: from you. So today we exchange our anxiety and for
- 1:44Speaker 1: your peace. We exchange our fear for your faith. We
- 1:47Speaker 1: exchange our uncertainty for confidence in your promises. Help us
- 1:52Speaker 1: to remember, God, that if you care for the birds
- 1:55Speaker 1: of the air and clothe the lilies of the filled
- 1:58Speaker 1: with beauty, how much more will you care for those
- 2:01Speaker 1: who belong to you where your children and You have
- 2:05Speaker 1: never failed us. A father, Quiet every racing mind, silence,
- 2:11Speaker 1: every boy said fears and says what if? And replace
- 2:15Speaker 1: it with assurance that said God will, God will provide.
- 2:18Speaker 1: God will make a way, God will strength, and God
- 2:21Speaker 1: will heal, God will restore, God will sustain, God will
- 2:26Speaker 1: be faithful because that's who he is. Teach us to
- 2:29Speaker 1: trust you one day at a time. Help us not
- 2:32Speaker 1: to borrow tomorrow's trouble or become overwhelmed by things that
- 2:36Speaker 1: have not even happened. Give us the grace to live
- 2:40Speaker 1: in this moment, knowing that your mercies are new every morning,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and your grace is sufficient for today and now. Father,
- 2:47Speaker 1: we declare by faith. We declare that worry will not
- 2:51Speaker 1: rule our hearts. We declare that fear will not dictate
- 2:54Speaker 1: our future. We declare that God's peace is guarding our minds.
- 2:58Speaker 1: We declare that God's provision is already on the way.
- 3:01Speaker 1: We declare that God's timing it's perfect. And we declare
- 3:04Speaker 1: that the same God who has carried us before will
- 3:07Speaker 1: carry us again today. We choose faith over fear, peace
- 3:11Speaker 1: over panic, and trust over uncertainty. We rest in the
- 3:14Speaker 1: confidence that You're already working behind the scenes. You're orchestrating
- 3:18Speaker 1: every detail of our lives for our good and for
- 3:22Speaker 1: your glory. Thank you Lord, that we don't have to
- 3:26Speaker 1: carry what you invited us to surrender. We place every
- 3:30Speaker 1: burden at your feet and leave this prayer lighter, stronger,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and filled with hope because our lives are safely held
- 3:37Speaker 1: in your loving hands. In the mighty, powerful and trustworthy
- 3:40Speaker 1: name of Jesus, we pray, Amen, Amen and Amen.
