  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. You know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: one of the things I've struggled with for many years,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and God has delivered me from, or is delivering me from,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is the approval of people. So I want to pray
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about us being delivered from that. How about that heaven
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: before you today with hearts that long to be fully yours. Lord.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We confess that too often we sought the approval of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: people more than we've sought your approval. We've allowed opinions, expectations,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and judgments of others to weigh us down, to steal
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: our joy, and to keep us from walking boldly in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the path you laid out for us. But today, Father,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we declare freedom. We declare that our worth is not
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: tied to what people say about us, but to what
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You've already spoken over our lives. Lord, Your word tells
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: us that we are fearfully, we are wonder made. You
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: remind us that we have been chosen by you, that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we are loved by you, that we are redeemed and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: called by your name. God. You know us. God, you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: know the number of hairs on our heads. So Father,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: right now, break every chain of people pleasing that has
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: kept us bound. Silence every voice of doubt, every whisper
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of criticism, and every demand that tries to pull us
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: out of alignment with your will, and heal the parts
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of us God that need to feel approved by others. Father,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we declare today that we will no longer live in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: boxes created by people's opinion. God. We will not shrink
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: back to fit into someone else's comfort zone. Instead, God,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we will rise up with boldness, with courage, and with faith,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: knowing that if you are for us, God, you are
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: more than the world against us. Teach us to walk
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with holy confidence, not arrogance, God, God, but in confidence
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: rooted in your truths, rooted in your love, and with
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: your spirit within us. Lord, give us desernment to know
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when advice is wise and when it's a distraction. Help
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: us to honor others without being bound to their expectations. Yes, God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: free us from the need to be like and anchor
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: us God in the truth that we are already in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: love with an everlasting love. God, we declare today that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we are not slaves to the opinions of people. We
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: are servants of Christ. We are not living for applause
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: on earth. We are living for eternal reward in heaven. Lord,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: give us strength to pursue the dreams, callings, and the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: purposes You've planted on the inside of us. No matter
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: who misunderstands us, God, and no matter who disapproves us.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: God and Father, in the name of Jesus, let your
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: spirit remind us every single day that your approval is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all we need. God. Let us walk in freedom, live
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in boldness, and shine as life lights in a world
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that's so desperate for truth. God, Today we step out
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of people pleasing and we step into your purpose for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: our lives. Today we exchange fear of rejection for the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: joy of obedience. Today we rise as sons and daughters
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of the Most High God, unshackled, unbothered, and unstoppable. God.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We thank you, Father for the freedom, for the favor,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and for the courage that You've given us. And we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: pray all these things and the strong, amazing, natchless name
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of Jesus
