  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 would join along with me in prayer. You know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it's Memorial Day weekend. I'm thinking about our military personnel.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about our military personnel families, those that gave
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. But I'm
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: thinking about the state of our country. Now. Don't let
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: us pray. Let's pray together, family, Father, in the name
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. As we pause this Memorial Day weekend,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our hearts turned toward those who have paid the ultimate
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: price for the freedoms that we so often take for granted. God,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we honor the men and the women of our military
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: who laid down their lives in service to this country.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: We remember their sacrifice with reference and gratitude, and we
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: pray God comfort and strength for the families they've left behind. Lord,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: your word says in John fifteen thirteen, Greater love hath
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: no man than this, that a man laid down his
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: life for his friends. These brave souls lived and died
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and embodied that truth. God, let their memory inspire us
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to live lives worthy of the sacrifice they made walking
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in love, service and in unity. God, we lift up
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: our nation before you, these United States of America. Lord,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in these uncertain times, we ask for healing across our land,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: healing from division, healing from violence, from moral confusion, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: from economic turmoil. Let righteousness and justice be restored in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: our hearts, in our homes, and in our institutions. God,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we pray for the men and women who are currently
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: serving in the military, on land, at sea, and in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the air and station far from home. God strengthened them
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: with courage, Protect them with your hand, Surround them with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: your peace. God be with their families, who also bear
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the weight of sacrifice. Bless them God with comfort, with provision,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and the assurance that you see and you sustain them. God,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we live up our leaders at the local, state, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the national levels. God, your word tells us that wisdom
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: begins with the fear of the Lord. So we pray
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that you would raise up godly men and women to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: serve in these positions, those that seek your truths and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that will lead with integrity and humility and justice. Let

• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be rewarded, and let greed and corruption be uprooted from
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: our financial systems. God, in the name of Jesus, let
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: policies being acted that promote dignity, fairness, and stewardship over
