Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And today,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I just want to remind you and me that God
- 0:11Speaker 1: will never leave or forsake us. Heavenly Father. In the
- 0:15Speaker 1: name of Jesus, today we come before you with grateful hearts,
- 0:19Speaker 1: holding tightly to the promise of your word that you
- 0:22Speaker 1: never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, circumstances may change,
- 0:26Speaker 1: people may walk away, doors may close, plans may fall apart,
- 0:30Speaker 1: finances may become uncertain, our health may be challenged, relationships
- 0:35Speaker 1: may become strained, we may find ourselves standing in situations
- 0:39Speaker 1: we never expected to face. But through it all, you're
- 0:42Speaker 1: still with us. Father, we can't see a way forward sometimes.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Remind us that you're already there making a way. When
- 0:51Speaker 1: we don't understand what you're doing, help us to trust
- 0:54Speaker 1: who you are. When the situation looks bad, impossible. Remind
- 0:59Speaker 1: us that nothing is impossible with you. Lord, there are
- 1:02Speaker 1: people praying today who are wondering, God, where are you?
- 1:07Speaker 1: Remind them you're right there. You are with us in
- 1:10Speaker 1: the valley. You're with us in the storm. You're with
- 1:12Speaker 1: us in the waiting. You're with us in the uncertainty.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You're with us in the doctor's office. You're with us
- 1:18Speaker 1: when the bills are due. You're with us when the
- 1:20Speaker 1: phone doesn't ring. You're with us when relationships fall apart.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You're with us when we're grieving. You're with us when
- 1:26Speaker 1: we don't have the answers. Father, help us never mistake
- 1:31Speaker 1: silence for absence. Just because we can't see you working
- 1:35Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're not working. Lord, when we feel forgotten,
- 1:38Speaker 1: remind us that you know our name. When we feel alone,
- 1:43Speaker 1: remind us that your presence surrounds us. When we feel abandoned,
- 1:48Speaker 1: remind us that you promise never to leave us. Father,
- 1:52Speaker 1: give us peace in circumstances we can't control. Give us
- 1:55Speaker 1: strength for today and faith for tomorrow. Help us to
- 1:58Speaker 1: stop allowing our current situation to determine our expectation of
- 2:03Speaker 1: our future because our circumstances are temporary, but your faithfulness
- 2:08Speaker 1: is everlasting. Today, God, we declare God has not left us.
- 2:14Speaker 1: God has not forgotten us. God has not abandoned us.
- 2:18Speaker 1: God has not changed his mind about us. God is
- 2:22Speaker 1: still working. God is still providing. God is still protecting.
- 2:25Speaker 1: God is still healing. God is still making ways. God
- 2:29Speaker 1: is still ordering our steps. And even when we can't
- 2:33Speaker 1: trace his hands, we will trust his heart. Father, we
- 2:36Speaker 1: surrender the need to understand everything. We surrender the fear
- 2:40Speaker 1: of what tomorrow may bring. We surrender the situations that
- 2:43Speaker 1: have caused us to doubt your presence. Help us to
- 2:47Speaker 1: remember every time you brought us through before, every door
- 2:51Speaker 1: you opened, every danger you kept us from, every prayer
- 2:54Speaker 1: you've answered, every time you made a way. If you
- 2:58Speaker 1: were faithful then, you'll be faithful now. Lord, let your
- 3:01Speaker 1: presence become more real to us than our problems. Let
- 3:04Speaker 1: your promises become louder than our fears. Let our faith
- 3:08Speaker 1: become stronger than our circumstances. And when this season is over,
- 3:12Speaker 1: let us be able to look back and say, I
- 3:14Speaker 1: thought I was walking through it by myself, but God
- 3:17Speaker 1: was with me every step of the way. Oh, Father,
- 3:20Speaker 1: we may not know what tomorrow holds, but we certainly
- 3:24Speaker 1: know who holds our tomorrow. So we will not fear.
- 3:27Speaker 1: We will not give up. We will not lose hope.
- 3:29Speaker 1: We will keep trusting because you promised God that you
- 3:32Speaker 1: will never leave us. You will never forsake us in
- 3:35Speaker 1: the mighty, faithful, unfailing name of Jesus. Amen, amen, and amen.
