Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry 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. And today
- 0:10Speaker 1: you know, I just want to encourage you. So often
- 0:12Speaker 1: we have people in our lives that try to make
- 0:15Speaker 1: themselves feel better by making us feel small. But you
- 0:20Speaker 1: know what, they've got to have your permission, So don't
- 0:23Speaker 1: allow others to make you feel small. Heavenly Father, we
- 0:27Speaker 1: come before you today carrying the weight of moments, moments
- 0:31Speaker 1: when we have felt small, Moments when we felt overlooked, dismissed,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and made to feel like we're not enough. Lord, you
- 0:40Speaker 1: see every one of those moments. You know every word
- 0:44Speaker 1: that's stung. You know every situation that diminished our confidence.
- 0:49Speaker 1: You know every time we question our own worth because
- 0:52Speaker 1: of how others treated us. But today, Father, we bring
- 0:56Speaker 1: all of that to you. We lay down every lie
- 1:00Speaker 1: that is tried to take root in our hearts, the
- 1:02Speaker 1: lie that we are insignificant, the lie that we don't
- 1:06Speaker 1: measure up, the lie that we have to shrink to
- 1:09Speaker 1: be accepted. Lord, remind us right now of who we
- 1:12Speaker 1: are in you. We are not small, We are chosen.
- 1:15Speaker 1: We are not overlooked. We are seen by you. We
- 1:20Speaker 1: are not insignificant. We are created with purpose on purpose. Father.
- 1:25Speaker 1: When others try to diminish us, whether through their words,
- 1:28Speaker 1: their actions, or their silence, help us not to internalize
- 1:33Speaker 1: what you never spoke over us. Give us the strength
- 1:36Speaker 1: to stand firm in our identity. Confidence not rooted in pride,
- 1:41Speaker 1: but in purpose, baldness, not rooted in ego, but in
- 1:44Speaker 1: knowing we belong to You. Lord's silence every voice, external
- 1:48Speaker 1: and internal that tries to make us feel less than
- 1:52Speaker 1: who you created us to be. When comparison increase, in
- 1:55Speaker 1: remind us that we are uniquely made, That we are
- 1:59Speaker 1: fearfully and wonderfully made according to your word. When insecurity rises,
- 2:04Speaker 1: remind us that we are fully loved by you. When
- 2:08Speaker 1: doubt whispers, let your truth speak louder. Father, help us
- 2:13Speaker 1: to take up space and the way you called us to,
- 2:16Speaker 1: not shrinking back, not hiding our gifts, not dimning our
- 2:20Speaker 1: light to make other people comfortable. God, you did not
- 2:23Speaker 1: create us to live small. You created us to walk
- 2:26Speaker 1: in purpose, to shine, to reflect your glory. So today God,
- 2:30Speaker 1: we break every agreement with every word, every thought, in
- 2:35Speaker 1: every experience that try to make us feel unworthy or inadequate,
- 2:41Speaker 1: we will not carry it any longer. Instead, we receive
- 2:44Speaker 1: your truth. We are enough because you are enough in us.
- 2:49Speaker 1: We are strong because you strengthen us. We are valuable
- 2:52Speaker 1: because you call us your own. Lord. Teach us to
- 2:55Speaker 1: walk with quiet confidence, to stand tall in humility, to
- 3:00Speaker 1: speak with grace, to move with purpose, And, even when
- 3:03Speaker 1: others misunderstand us, overlook us, or even try to diminish us,
- 3:07Speaker 1: help us God, to remain secure in you and who
- 3:11Speaker 1: you've made us to be. Because our worth is now
- 3:14Speaker 1: determined by people, it is established by you. Father, Fill
- 3:17Speaker 1: us with your presence so deeply that we no longer
- 3:21Speaker 1: seek validation from other people, but rest fully in who
- 3:24Speaker 1: you say we are. God, let us rise above every
- 3:27Speaker 1: attempt to make us feel small and step boldly into
- 3:31Speaker 1: the life that you called us to live. In Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
