  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it is time for us
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer, and as always I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ask that you join along with me in prayer. Today
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I just want to pray about being in the presence
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, where there's fullness of joy, where there's peace,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in His presence, Heavenly Father, we come before you now
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with grateful hearts, humbled God by the reality that you're
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: right here. You promise you never leave us, you never
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: forsake us. But you're right here with us, not distance
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: but near to us, closer God, even than our own breath. Lord,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we acknowledge your presence right now, in this moment, not
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: because we fill it with our emotions or see it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: with our eyes, but because your word promises that where
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: two or three are gathered in your name, you are
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the midst. And so God, we pause today not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to invite you into a place where you already inhabit,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: because you said you live inside our praise. But today
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is about awakening ourselves to the wonder of the fact
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that you are right here with us. The God who
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: created the heavens and the earth is right here with us.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Your presence is not confined to buildings or moments. You
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: go with us to the mountain towns for God, We're
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: grateful you go with us to the valley. You walk
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with us through joy and sorrow, through clarity and confusion.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And we thank you that your presence is not based
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on our perfection, but on your promise. In your presence
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there is peace that surpasses our human understanding for every
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: restless heart here today, God, calm the storm, Speak peace,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Be still to every fear, every anxious sought, every burden
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: we carry too long. In your presence there is fullness
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of joy, not just happiness in the good times, but deep,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: enduring joy that cannot be shaken by circumstances. Restore the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: joy of salvation to those who feel weary. God, remind
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: us that you are our strength, our portion, and our song. God.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: In your presence there's healing, physical healing, emotional healing, spiritual healing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Touch the places God right now in our lives that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: feel broken or even hidden. God, we believe Lord that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: one moment with you can do more than years of striving.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Breathe life right now. God, where there's been dryness, bring
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hope where there's been this spair. Father, help us to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: become more aware of your presence, not just today, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: every single day. When we wake up God, let us
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: hear a whisper from you. God. When we work, let
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: us sense your hand God, and us when we struggle. God,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: let us remember we are not alone. Let our holdes
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: be felled with the atmosphere of your glory. Let our
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: families be reshaped and shaped by your spirit. Teach us God,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not to push out of your presence, but to linger
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like Mary did at your feet, to honker, like Moses,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: who said, if your presence doesn't go with us, do
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not send us from here. Make us people of your presence,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: carriers of your spirit in a world desperate for thro God,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Today we thank you
