Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early body praise party. I am a sherry Maggie.
- 0:04Speaker 1: It is time right now for today's word. When fathers
- 0:10Speaker 1: need strength own, When fathers need strength, the word of
- 0:16Speaker 1: the Lord, says in Isaiah forty thirty one. But those
- 0:19Speaker 1: who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. Fatherhood
- 0:25Speaker 1: is one of life's greatest blessings, but it can also
- 0:29Speaker 1: be one of life's greatest challenges. Many fathers carry pressure
- 0:34Speaker 1: that few people truly understand. They worry about providing for
- 0:39Speaker 1: their families. They worry about protecting their loved ones. They
- 0:43Speaker 1: worry about making wise decisions, and then they worry about
- 0:47Speaker 1: being the example that their children need. The weight can
- 0:52Speaker 1: sometimes feel overwhelming. Yet God never intended fathers to carry
- 0:58Speaker 1: these burdens alone. Isaiah reminds us that those who wait
- 1:03Speaker 1: upon the Lord will renew their strength, not their own strength,
- 1:08Speaker 1: but God's strength. See, there are seasons when fathers may
- 1:12Speaker 1: feel exhausted physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. During those moments,
- 1:20Speaker 1: God offers a renewal for you. Perhaps you're a father
- 1:24Speaker 1: who feels tired from carrying responsibilities. Maybe you're facing financial challenges,
- 1:30Speaker 1: Maybe you have family concerns or uncertainties about the future.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I want you to take comfort in knowing that God
- 1:37Speaker 1: sees every sacrifice and every silent prayer. The same God
- 1:44Speaker 1: who called you to lead your family is the same
- 1:47Speaker 1: God who will equip you to do so. God's strength
- 1:51Speaker 1: becomes more evident when we acknowledge our need for him.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Strong fathers aren't those who never struggle. Strong fathers are
- 1:59Speaker 1: those who continue trusting God through their struggles. This week,
- 2:06Speaker 1: let's pray specifically for fathers who need encouragement. Let's pray
- 2:11Speaker 1: for renew strength. Let's pray for fresh wisdom. Let's pray
- 2:15Speaker 1: for peace that comes from knowing God that is carrying
- 2:19Speaker 1: what they cannot. Oh Father God, thank you. We lift
- 2:25Speaker 1: up every father on today, those new fathers, those that
- 2:29Speaker 1: have been doing it for years, those with adult children,
- 2:33Speaker 1: For those who feel weary, renew their strength. For those
- 2:37Speaker 1: carrying heavy burdens, Give them peace that goals beyond their
- 2:40Speaker 1: human understanding. For those facing difficult situations and decisions, Grant
- 2:46Speaker 1: them wisdom. Remind them that they don't stand alone, and
- 2:50Speaker 1: thank you for their source of strength and hope is
- 2:53Speaker 1: found in You. In Jesus' name, Now that's your word
- 2:57Speaker 1: for today. I want you to take that apply to
- 2:59Speaker 1: your everyday life and you continue to be encouraged to
- 3:03Speaker 1: strengthen and inspired on your early morning praise party with
- 3:06Speaker 1: Be your Girls. Sherry Mackie
