  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It's time for us to go
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to God in prayer, and as always, I invite you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to join along with me in prayer. You know, I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: think about the Word of God where in Psalms he
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: promises to make us lie down in the green pastures,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and I want to live the Word and not just
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: read about it or hear about it. It's in the words,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: so that means it belongs to me, and that's what
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I want to pray about. Heavenly Father, Today we come
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: before you with hearts that are weary from carrying so much.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: For so long, some of us have been running, striving, worrying,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and trying to hold everything together. We carried responsibilities, burdens, fears,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and uncertainties until our souls have become tired. But today, Lord,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we come back to your promises found in Psalms twenty three.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: He maketh me lie down in green pastures. He leadeth
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: me beside the steel waters. Father, help us to lie
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: down in the green pastures that you prepared for us.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Help us to stop living in a constant state of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: stress and survival. Teach us how to rest in your presence,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Teach us how to trust you enough to release what
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we were never meant to carry alone. Lord, So often
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we're busy worrying about tomorrow while you're trying to bless
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: us today. We're consumed the questions while you're offering us peace.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We're exhausted from trying to control outcomes that belong in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: your hands. Forgive us, Father, for carrying burdens that you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: have repeatedly asked us to surrender. Lead us God beside
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the steel waters. Lord, Quiet the storms raging in our minds.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Calm anxious thoughts, Silence the voices of fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Let your peace settle over our hearts like a gentle rain.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Let us experience the kind of rest that comes not
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: from having all the answers, but from knowing the one
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: who does. Or. Father, restore our souls, Restore the joy
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that life has drained. Restore the faith that disappointments have.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: We can restore the hope that waiting his challenged breathe
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: fresh strength into every weary spirit. And God, remind us
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that you are still our shepherd, You are still our provider,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You are still our protective Lord. Help us recognize the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: green pastures that you've already placed around us. Open our
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: eyes to your goodness. Help us to see the blessings
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that we've overlooked. Oh God, the prayers that you've already
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: asked as the evidence of your faithfulness that's around us
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: each and every single day. And Father, when life becomes overwhelming,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: remind us that sheep do not find green pastures on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: their own. They follow the shepherd. Help us to follow you, God,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Help us to trust your leading, your timing, and your wisdom.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Keep us close to your heart and secure in your care. Today, God,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we choose to stop striving and start trusting God. We
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: choose to stop worrying and start worshiping. We choose to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: rest in the promise that you are leading us exactly
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to where we need to be. Oh, thank you Lord
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for the green pastures, Thank you for the stilwaters. Thank
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you for being the shepherd who lovingly cares for his sheep.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
