- 0:04Speaker 1: I ask that you join along with me in prayer.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Can I be honest for just a second.
- 0:09Speaker 1: You know, when you're a public figure, you leave yourself
- 0:13Speaker 1: open or you are open to all kind of public
- 0:16Speaker 1: scrutiny and comments and all of that. And we live
- 0:19Speaker 1: in a day and a age where people are bullies online.
- 0:23Speaker 1: They don't mind taking those thumbs with those fingers and
- 0:26Speaker 1: saying hurtful words or comments and not realizing there's a
- 0:29Speaker 1: human being with real feelings on the other side of
- 0:33Speaker 1: those comments that you're making. And I know for me,
- 0:36Speaker 1: I have been on the receiving end for something I
- 0:39Speaker 1: didn't do and other people were saying negative and hurtful
- 0:42Speaker 1: of horrible things, and I had to pray and say, God,
- 0:46Speaker 1: make sure my heart stays pure, make sure that I
- 0:48Speaker 1: don't get bitter.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Silence is the noise.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I need peace in the midst of all of the
- 0:53Speaker 1: negative comments and the noise. That's what I want to
- 0:57Speaker 1: pray about. Peace in the midst of the noise of
- 1:00Speaker 1: a God. In the name of Jesus Christ, we come
- 1:02Speaker 1: to you God. Sometimes we feel weary. God, the voices
- 1:06Speaker 1: around us are so loud and piercing and relentless and cruel.
- 1:11Speaker 1: The sting of criticism, the weight of judgment, the echo
- 1:15Speaker 1: of hurtful words.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It's all too much sometimes.
- 1:18Speaker 1: God, We're trying to stand strong, but our hearts feel
- 1:21Speaker 1: heavy and our souls feel bruised. Lord, when we feel overlook,
- 1:25Speaker 1: when we feel misunderstood, when we feel inadequate, remind us
- 1:30Speaker 1: of who we are in you. You are not the
- 1:32Speaker 1: voice of condemnation. You are not the whisper of doubt.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You are not the shadow of shame. You are the
- 1:38Speaker 1: God who speaks life. And when you speak the noise
- 1:41Speaker 1: got about everything has to bow to the name of Jesus. Signs,
- 1:44Speaker 1: every lie God, every word meant to harm, every label
- 1:48Speaker 1: not places by your hand. You said in Isaiah fifty
- 1:51Speaker 1: four seventeen, no weapon formed against us shell prosper, and
- 1:54Speaker 1: every time that rises against us in judgment you will condemn.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So today God, we rise up in that promise. God,

- 2:08Speaker 1: and wonderfully made. You said in your words that we
- 2:10Speaker 1: are chosen. You said in your words that we are
- 2:12Speaker 1: the head and not the tale, above only and never beneath.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You said that we are your beloved, created with purpose
- 2:18Speaker 1: and crowned with grace. Even when others reject us, God,
- 2:21Speaker 1: you still receive us. Even when we feel alone, you
- 2:24Speaker 1: sit right with us.
- 2:25Speaker 2: You never leave us.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Even when we question our own works and value, You
