Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I invite
- 0:04Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:07Speaker 1: this morning I was thinking about every day I say, Lord,
- 0:10Speaker 1: lead and guide me, order my steps and your word
- 0:12Speaker 1: and in your way, and I just want to pray
- 0:14Speaker 1: about that this morning. Us being led by the Lord,
- 0:18Speaker 1: heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
- 0:20Speaker 1: before you in full surrender, hearts open, minds quieted, and
- 0:26Speaker 1: spirits hungry God, hungry for your voice. Lord, in a
- 0:30Speaker 1: world soul filled with noise and confusion and countless decisions. God,
- 0:34Speaker 1: we need your leading more than ever before. We are
- 0:37Speaker 1: not wise enough to chart our own course. We are
- 0:40Speaker 1: not strong enough to walk this journey along. So today God,
- 0:43Speaker 1: we lean in. We fix our eyes on You, the
- 0:46Speaker 1: offer and the finisher of our faith. In we ask you,
- 0:49Speaker 1: Lord to lead us. Lead us. God beside steal waters
- 0:53Speaker 1: when our souls are weary. Lead us and pass of
- 0:56Speaker 1: righteousness when temptation tries to sway us. Lead us, Father,
- 1:00Speaker 1: when life throws us into valleys so dark that we
- 1:03Speaker 1: can't even see our way out. Be a lamping to
- 1:06Speaker 1: our feet. And a light to our path. You said
- 1:08Speaker 1: in your word, my sheep hear my voice, and I
- 1:11Speaker 1: know them they follow me. Lord, help us to hear
- 1:15Speaker 1: you clearly. Tune our ears to the frequency of heaven.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Quiet the voice of fear, Mute the noise of doubt.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Silence every line of the enemy. Let your spirits speak
- 1:27Speaker 1: louder than our flesh, and let our obedience be immediate.
- 1:31Speaker 1: God Father, some of us are standing at crossroads. We
- 1:34Speaker 1: don't know whether to go left or right, or say
- 1:37Speaker 1: yes or to say no. But you are not the
- 1:39Speaker 1: God of confusion. You are the God of clarity. You
- 1:43Speaker 1: are the God of peace. So we ask for a
- 1:46Speaker 1: divine direction. God whispered to us. Nudge us, redirect us,
- 1:51Speaker 1: even stop us if you must. Just don't let us
- 1:54Speaker 1: walk outside of your will for our lives. God, When
- 1:57Speaker 1: we're tempted to run ahead of you, teach us to
- 1:59Speaker 1: wait on you. When we feel paralyzed by fear. Teach
- 2:02Speaker 1: us to trust in you. When the path you lead
- 2:05Speaker 1: us on doesn't look like what we expected. Helped us
- 2:08Speaker 1: to remember that your ways are higher, your plans are greater,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and your purpose is eternal. Lord. If you don't go
- 2:16Speaker 1: with us, we don't want to go. If you're not
- 2:18Speaker 1: any God, we don't want it. We lay down our
- 2:21Speaker 1: own agendas. We surrender our dreams, our desires, and our
- 2:24Speaker 1: timelines at your feed, and make our hearts tender to
- 2:27Speaker 1: your leading. Help us not to lean on our own understanding,
- 2:31Speaker 1: but in all our ways acknowledge you, because God, you
- 2:35Speaker 1: will direct our path. God, we thank you for the
- 2:38Speaker 1: times you've already led us, For every door you've opened,
- 2:41Speaker 1: for every pit you pulled us out of that we
- 2:44Speaker 1: even got into by ourselves, For every know that protected us,
- 2:48Speaker 1: for every weight that matured us. You are the good shepherd,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and we trust you God to lead us. We trust
- 2:55Speaker 1: you God to guide us. So Father, order our steps,
- 2:59Speaker 1: Lead us day by day, not just into blessings, but
- 3:02Speaker 1: into purpose, not just into safety, but into growth. Lead
- 3:06Speaker 1: us through storms if that's what it takes to draw
- 3:10Speaker 1: us closer, Lead us through wilderness seasons, if that's where
- 3:13Speaker 1: you refine us. Just don't leave us alone. Lord, don't
- 3:17Speaker 1: take your hand off of us. And when we look
- 3:20Speaker 1: back days, weeks, or even years from now, let us
- 3:24Speaker 1: see your fingerprint all over our journey. Because when you lead, God,
- 3:28Speaker 1: we know we'll never be lost. We know that will prosper.
- 3:32Speaker 1: We know that we'll have success of God in the
- 3:35Speaker 1: mighty matchless name of Jesus Amen.
