- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. Today, you know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: sometimes we just need strength for the journey. Father God,
- 0:13Speaker 1: in the mighty, matchless, and powerful name of Jesus, we
- 0:16Speaker 1: come before you today because some of us are in
- 0:19Speaker 1: a battle. Some of us are fighting battles that everybody
- 0:23Speaker 1: can see and others are fighting battles that nobody even
- 0:26Speaker 1: knows about. But Lord, you see, you know us. You
- 0:30Speaker 1: know what we're carrying. Your word says in Isaiah 40, 31,
- 0:34Speaker 1: but they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.
- 0:37Speaker 1: They shall mount up with wings as eagles. So today, Father,
- 0:41Speaker 1: renew our strength. Strengthen us for the battles we're facing now.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Give us strength when we're battling fear and anxiety. Strength
- 0:48Speaker 1: when we're battling sickness and physical pain. Strength when we're
- 0:51Speaker 1: battling financial pressure and uncertainty. Strength when we're battling grief, loneliness, disappointment,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and heartbreak. Strength when we're battling stress. at work, problems
- 1:01Speaker 1: at home, and challenges in our relationships. Strength when we're
- 1:04Speaker 1: battling temptation, addiction, anger, unforgiveness, insecurity, and self-doubt. Strength when
- 1:10Speaker 1: we're fighting battles with our thoughts, our emotions, and our past,
- 1:14Speaker 1: and our fears about the future. Lord, some of us
- 1:16Speaker 1: are battling for our families. Some are praying about children.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Some are standing in the gap for a spouse, a parent,
- 1:23Speaker 1: a sibling, or a friend. Some are battling just to
- 1:26Speaker 1: keep on going. And Father, meet us right there. When
- 1:30Speaker 1: we're exhausted, God, you be our strength. When we're discouraged,
- 1:33Speaker 1: you be our hope. When we're afraid, God, you be
- 1:35Speaker 1: our courage. And when we don't know what to do next,
- 1:38Speaker 1: you be our direction. When we feel like we just
- 1:41Speaker 1: can't do anymore and we're ready to give up, remind
- 1:43Speaker 1: us that we didn't come this far just to quit
- 1:46Speaker 1: right now. So, Lord, help us to remember every battle
- 1:50Speaker 1: you've already brought us through. We battled things we thought
- 1:53Speaker 1: would break us, but we're still here. We cried tears
- 1:56Speaker 1: we thought would never stop, but we found joy again.
- 1:59Speaker 1: We face doors that close, but you open yet another one.
- 2:02Speaker 1: We experienced rejection before, but you reminded us of our worth.
- 2:06Speaker 1: We endured seasons of lack, but you provided. We walked
- 2:09Speaker 1: through sickness, but you sustained us, God. We experienced heartbreak,
- 2:13Speaker 1: but you healed us. We faced impossible situations, but you
- 2:17Speaker 1: made a way out of no way. And if you
- 2:19Speaker 1: brought us through those battles, you can bring us through
- 2:22Speaker 1: this one. So, Father, give us strength to overcome what
- 2:25Speaker 1: we're facing today and wisdom to know what battles belong
- 2:28Speaker 1: to us and what battles we need to place in
- 2:30Speaker 1: your hands. Teach us not to fight every battle with
- 2:33Speaker 1: our own strength. Some battles require prayer. Some require patience.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Some require forgiveness. Some require boundaries. And some require us
- 2:42Speaker 1: to just let it go. And some battles, Lord, you
- 2:45Speaker 1: simply need to fight for us. So today we put
- 2:48Speaker 1: on the whole armor of God and we choose faith
- 2:51Speaker 1: over fear. We choose prayer over panic. We choose hope
- 2:54Speaker 1: over despair. We choose perseverance over quitting. And we choose
- 2:58Speaker 1: to believe that the battle does not have to destroy us.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It can develop us. So Lord, strengthen our hearts, strengthen
- 3:04Speaker 1: our minds, strengthen our bodies. strengthen our faith strengthen our
- 3:08Speaker 1: family strengthen our purpose and when the battle is over
- 3:11Speaker 1: let us be able to look back and say i
- 3:14Speaker 1: didn't make it because i was strong i made it
- 3:16Speaker 1: because god gave me strength god we declare that we
- 3:19Speaker 1: will keep standing we will keep praying we will keep
- 3:21Speaker 1: believing we will keep moving forward because greater is he
- 3:25Speaker 1: that is in us than anything we ever face lord
- 3:28Speaker 1: give us strength for the battle and victory in your
- 3:30Speaker 1: perfect time and in jesus name amen amen and amen
