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 ask
- 0:07Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: sometimes we go through those seasons where we say, am
- 0:12Speaker 1: I making a difference? Is what I'm doing making an
- 0:16Speaker 1: impact in somebody's life? Is it all in vain? Oh,
- 0:20Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, and the name of Jesus Christ. There are
- 0:24Speaker 1: moments in our lives when our hearts whisper questions we're
- 0:27Speaker 1: almost afraid to say out loud, is my living in vain?
- 0:31Speaker 1: Do my efforts matter? Do my sacrifices count for anything? Lord?
- 0:36Speaker 1: You see those quiet tears. God, you see the hidden struggles,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the times we give, the times we serve, And yet
- 0:43Speaker 1: it feels like no one even notices, no one appreciates,
- 0:47Speaker 1: no one understands. But Father, today we take comfort in
- 0:52Speaker 1: your word that reminds us and first Corinthians fifteen fifty eight.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Be steadfast, be immovable, all ways, abounding in the work
- 1:02Speaker 1: of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord
- 1:05Speaker 1: is not in vain. Lord, when discouragement tries to settle in,
- 1:09Speaker 1: when weariness makes us question our own worth, remind us
- 1:13Speaker 1: God that You are keeping record every prayer whispered, every
- 1:17Speaker 1: act of kindness shown, every sacrifice made and love. It
- 1:21Speaker 1: all matters to you. Lord. When the enemy tries to
- 1:25Speaker 1: convince us that we are forgotten, remind us that you
- 1:29Speaker 1: see us. You see the mother who labors tirelessly for
- 1:33Speaker 1: her children. You see the father who works long hours
- 1:36Speaker 1: to provide. You see the one who serves faithfully behind
- 1:39Speaker 1: the scenes, the one who prays in secret, the one
- 1:43Speaker 1: who gives when no one else knows. You see God,
- 1:46Speaker 1: You know, and you reward Father. Right now, Strengthen us
- 1:51Speaker 1: when the journey feels long. Lift our heads when we
- 1:55Speaker 1: feel bowed down. Help us God to understand that our
- 1:59Speaker 1: living is not measured by applause. It's not measured by
- 2:02Speaker 1: recognition or earthly success, but by obedience to You and
- 2:07Speaker 1: the impact we make for eternity. Remind us that one
- 2:11Speaker 1: word of encouragement, one seed of kindness, one moment of
- 2:15Speaker 1: faith can ripple through generations and ways that we may
- 2:19Speaker 1: never see or even you, Poor Lord, Let hope rise
- 2:23Speaker 1: up in us again. Let us live with the confidence
- 2:26Speaker 1: that nothing done in love is wasted, nothing done and
- 2:31Speaker 1: faith is ignored God, and nothing done for you will
- 2:34Speaker 1: ever return empty. Our living is not in vain because
- 2:38Speaker 1: you are the God who redeems every tear. You are
- 2:42Speaker 1: the God who restores every loss, and you are the
- 2:45Speaker 1: God who rewards every labor. So today God, we pray,
- 2:50Speaker 1: renew our strength, restore our joy, reignite our passion to
- 2:55Speaker 1: live with the boldness and with purpose for you. And
- 2:59Speaker 1: when doubt said, let the voice of your spirit whisper louder.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Your living is not in vain. I see you, I'm
- 3:07Speaker 1: with you, and I am pleased. Yes, God,
