Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It, it's time for us to go to God in prayer.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and as always I ask that
- 0:06Speaker 1: you join along with me in prayer. And I think
- 0:10Speaker 1: about the grace of God, that unmerited favor that we
- 0:15Speaker 1: get from God, and today I just want to pray
- 0:17Speaker 1: about that grace. Heavenly Father, we come before you in
- 0:20Speaker 1: quiet reference, hearts lifted in awe of your goodness to
- 0:25Speaker 1: us when you give us things that we don't deserve,
- 0:28Speaker 1: Your grace, that unearthed, undeserved and unrelenting grace, the anchor
- 0:35Speaker 1: of our souls. God, in a world that often weighs
- 0:40Speaker 1: us by performance and perfection, your grace meets us in
- 0:44Speaker 1: our brokenness, lifts our burdens and whispers you are loved. Lord.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Thank you for the grace that found us before we
- 0:53Speaker 1: ever knew even to seek you. Thank you for the
- 0:57Speaker 1: grace that ran to meet us, that stood at the
- 1:00Speaker 1: door and watched for our return like a father longing
- 1:03Speaker 1: for his child. God, when we fell short, you didn't
- 1:07Speaker 1: turn away from us. Instead, you drew near, offering mercy
- 1:11Speaker 1: when justice would have condemned. Your grace. O, God is
- 1:16Speaker 1: our steady ground. It's not just a second chance. It's
- 1:20Speaker 1: a new beginning. Each morning. Your mercies are new. Each
- 1:25Speaker 1: moment your favor covers us, not because of who we are,
- 1:29Speaker 1: but because of who you are. Lord Jesus, We thank
- 1:34Speaker 1: you for the cross where grace is not only spoken
- 1:38Speaker 1: but poured out. There love bore the weight of our sin,
- 1:43Speaker 1: their hope was born again. We cannot earn what you
- 1:47Speaker 1: freely give, so we simply receive your grace, your mercy,
- 1:52Speaker 1: your love. We opened our hearts now to the flow
- 1:56Speaker 1: of your grace, your healing, your redeeming, your transform me. Father,
- 2:02Speaker 1: help us to live as though we know that we
- 2:05Speaker 1: are graced by you. Let us show in our words
- 2:09Speaker 1: and our forgiveness and our gentleness with others, your grace
- 2:13Speaker 1: that you've shown us. Let us never grow casual with
- 2:17Speaker 1: the gifts or try to repay You for them. Let
- 2:21Speaker 1: us God use it to shape us and who are
- 2:25Speaker 1: teach us humility, God, deepening our worship to You and
- 2:29Speaker 1: inspiring us to extend grace to those that are around
- 2:33Speaker 1: us that need us to show them grace. And when
- 2:38Speaker 1: we falter, remind us again of your grace and that
- 2:42Speaker 1: your grace is enough. Your grace is sufficient, Your strength
- 2:47Speaker 1: God has made perfect in our weakness. We don't have
- 2:50Speaker 1: to strive to earn your love. It's already ours. Let
- 2:54Speaker 1: that truth give rest to the weary and hope God
- 2:57Speaker 1: for the hurting, and courage to all all who are
- 3:00Speaker 1: waiting on you, Lord, God, We thank you
