Daily Prayer 02-27-26 · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Knacky and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And one
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of the things that I always pray is that my
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: life honors God. And that's what I want to pray about.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: before you with open hands and surrendered hearts. Everything we are,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in everything we have, God, it belongs to you. The
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: breath and our lungs, the strength in our bodies, the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: gifts in our hands, the doors that have opened and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: even the ones that have closed. It all traces back
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to You. Lord. Teach us to honor You with our lives,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not just with our words on Sunday, but with our
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: choices on Monday, not just with songs from our lips,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: but with obedience and our actions. Not just what is convenient,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: but when it's costly. God, You've been so faithful. God,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You've provided, You've protected, You forgiven, and sometimes we take
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that goodness for granted. Forgive us God for moments when
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we claim to ownership over what You entrusted to us.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Forgive us God for using our time, our talent, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: our treasure without acknowledging the gifer. Father, we want our
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: lives to reflect gratitude. Help us God to honor you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: with our time, to seek you first, to make room
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for prayer, to prioritize what matters eternally over what things could.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Help us God to honor you with our resources, to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: give generously, to steward wisely, to recognize that we are managers,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: not owners. Help us God to honor you with our bodies,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to treat them as temples, to walk in discipline, to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: resist what would diminish your glory in us. Help us
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: God to honor you with our words. Let them build
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: up and not tear down. Let our conversations reflect integrity, kindness,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and truth. Help us God to honor you with our influence,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: whether large or small. If people are watching us, let
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: them see you in us. If people are listening to us,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: let them hear your grace through us and our words. Lord,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: align our ambitions with your will. If our dreams are
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: too small, God in large them. If they're selfish, purify them.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: If they are misdirected, redirect them. God, we give you permission.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We don't want just success. We want significance that brings
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you glory. God. Let our homes honor you. Let our
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: marriages honor you. Let our friendships honor you. Let our
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: careers honor you. Let our private thoughts even honor you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: When temptation comes, remind us who we represents. When pride
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: tries to rise, humble us, when fear tries to shrink
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: us back. Strengthen our courage to live boldly for you. God.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Let our lives be living sacrifices, holy and pleasing in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: your sight, not perfect but surrendered, not flawless, but definitely faithful. Oom.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And when people see the fruit of our lives God,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the kindness, the patience, the generosity, the resilience. God, let
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: them trace it all back to you. Father. We don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: want to waste our lives chasing applause that faith's a way.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: We want to hear one thing at the end, well done,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: good and faithful servant. So take what we are, God,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: take what we have, take what we will become, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: use it all God for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen, Amen,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and Amen.
