Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
- 0:05Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. And today
- 0:10Speaker 1: as we go to God in prayer, I think about
- 0:12Speaker 1: God's time, and y'all is hard to waiting. We'll be honest,
- 0:14Speaker 1: it's hard to wait on God and to wait on
- 0:16Speaker 1: his time. But I do want us to pray about
- 0:20Speaker 1: trusting in God's timing. Heavenly Father, in the name of
- 0:24Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, we come before you today, acknowledging that you
- 0:28Speaker 1: are the author of time itself. You hold the days,
- 0:32Speaker 1: you hold the caesars in every moment of our lives
- 0:36Speaker 1: in your hands. You see the end from the beginning,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and nothing in our lives takes you by surprise. Yet, Lord,
- 0:42Speaker 1: we confess sometimes it's hard to wait. Sometimes the delays
- 0:46Speaker 1: feel like denials, and our hearts grow weary in the waiting.
- 0:50Speaker 1: But today, Father, we lay down our timelines, our deadlines,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and our expectations. We lay them at your feet. Lord,
- 0:58Speaker 1: you said in your word to everything there is a
- 1:02Speaker 1: season and a time to every purpose under heaven. We
- 1:06Speaker 1: trust God that the same God who put the stars
- 1:09Speaker 1: in place and tells the ocean where to stop is
- 1:11Speaker 1: the sane God ordering our steps. God, help us to
- 1:15Speaker 1: remember that every not yet from you is still an answered.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Feel with love. Help us to see that your delays
- 1:24Speaker 1: are not denials, but divine preparations. Father. When our hearts
- 1:29Speaker 1: grow anxious, whisper to us that your timing is still perfect.
- 1:33Speaker 1: When we are attempted to run ahead of you, God,
- 1:36Speaker 1: gently pull us back and to the safety of your will.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Give us the patience of Abraham, who believed your promise
- 1:43Speaker 1: even when years passed without seeing it. Give us the
- 1:47Speaker 1: faith God of Joseph, who trusted you even in the pit,
- 1:51Speaker 1: in the prison, and in the palace. Give us the
- 1:55Speaker 1: endurance of Hannah, who poured her heart out before you
- 1:58Speaker 1: and waited until the pointed time to receive her miracle. Lord,
- 2:02Speaker 1: we know that in our waiting, you're still working. While
- 2:06Speaker 1: we see sailnce. God, you are arranging circumstances while we
- 2:11Speaker 1: feel still. God, You're moving mountains we can't even see.
- 2:15Speaker 1: While we're questioning, God, you are answering in ways that
- 2:18Speaker 1: will bring you glory. Strengthen us to walk by faith
- 2:22Speaker 1: and not by sight. Teach us to rejoice in this moment,
- 2:25Speaker 1: knowing that what you have for us will come right
- 2:30Speaker 1: on time, never late, never early, but exactly God, when
- 2:35Speaker 1: we needed and Father, we declare today that we will
- 2:39Speaker 1: not let impatience steal our peace or rive us of
- 2:43Speaker 1: our joy. We will worship while we wait, We will
- 2:47Speaker 1: trust while we tarry. God. We will believe even when
- 2:50Speaker 1: the evidence seems against us, because we know your timing
- 2:54Speaker 1: is not just good, God, your timing is perfect. So Lord,
- 2:58Speaker 1: we rest in your calendar. We surrender to your schedule,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and we anchor our hearts and your faithfulness. Thank you
- 3:06Speaker 1: for loving us, God enough to say wait when we
- 3:10Speaker 1: would have settled for less than your best. God. Thank
- 3:13Speaker 1: you for aligning our lives with your divine plan. And
- 3:16Speaker 1: thank you that when the appointed time comes, we will
- 3:19Speaker 1: see that every second of waiting was for us. We
- 3:22Speaker 1: trust you, we love you, and we wait with great
- 3:27Speaker 1: expectation in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
