  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackey in his time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me and prayer. You know.

  Speaker 1: Za Cardi Cortez sings this song about one on one
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and he says, I just need my one on one
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: time with you with no interruptions. I just wanted to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: be me and you. Then he talks about I have
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: so many questions that I need answers too. We find
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that when we have our one on one time with God,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: when we spend time in the presence of the Lord
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Father God in the name of Jesus, as we come
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: before you today in prayer, we pause to turn our
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hearts towards You. Life moves so fast sometimes and days
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: blur into night's responsibilities, pile high end, distraction's crowd the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: space where peace should dwell. Yet God, in the noise,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: our soul cries out for something more, something more God.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Not more things, not more noise, not even more accomplishments, God,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but more of You Lord. Today we confess how easily
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we forget to come and simply be with You. Be
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in your presence, You who formed us, You who loves
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: us without condition, You who wait patiently for us to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: return when we wander away. You're not far off or hidden,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but you're always right here, ever present, closer than the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: air that we breathe. And yet, God, Oh, we get
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so distracted with the busyness of life, and so often God,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we try to carry our own life's burdens. Forgive us,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: God for the times we've neglected your presence in favor
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of lesser things. Jesus, our heart aches to dwell with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you again, to sit at your feed God, to sit
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in your presence like Mary did, and let the world
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: grow quiet around us. We need the kind of rest
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that only you can. Thank You, the soul deep kind
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that feels what business can never touch. God, we don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: want to treat time with you like another task on
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: our to do list, but as a great joy in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: our day, our deepest need, our sacred restluge. Lord, speak
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: even in silence. Let your words sing into our spirit
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like rain on a dry ground. Jesus, remind us that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we're not just called to work for you, but to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: walk with you in life. Thank you, Thank you, Lord
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for allowing us to be your hands and your feet
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in the earth. God, Before if we do anything for
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom. We've got to spend time with the Kingness.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you for always being available, always inviting, never turning
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: us away. Thank you that we don't have to perform
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for you or have the right words. You simply want
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: us and right now. God, we come just like we are, hungry, weary,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: needing our one on one, needing our time with you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Let this be the beginning of a new rhythm with us. God,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a life reordered around your presence and choosing to spend
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: time with you daily. Teach us to carve out time
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: not just in Christis God, but in the ordinary, in
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the quiet, in the every day. Help us to seek you,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not out of guilt, but simply out of love and relationship.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Because being with you is not a duty. God, Oh God,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it is the deepest delight of our soul. We get
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to do this, and it's an honor to do this. God.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We want to know you more, Jesus, to hear your voice,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to sense your leading, to walk in your peace. Let
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: every other priority in our lives fade into place behind
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: spending time with you. Thank you for loving us first.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you for waiting patiently. Thank you for always welcoming
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: us back
