Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer today. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I was thinking about this scripture my aunt Lulah Millerson
- 0:12Speaker 1: to one twenty six and three in the Book of Psalms,
- 0:15Speaker 1: you know, and I want to pray about that with
- 0:18Speaker 1: you on today, Heavenly Father, Today we come before you
- 0:20Speaker 1: with hearts full of gratitude, standing on the beautiful promise
- 0:23Speaker 1: found in Psalms one twenty six and three. The Lord
- 0:26Speaker 1: has done great things for us, and we are filled
- 0:29Speaker 1: with joy. Lord. Before we ask for anything else, we
- 0:33Speaker 1: want a pause to remember all that you've already done. Father.
- 0:36Speaker 1: You have been faithful through every season of our lives.
- 0:40Speaker 1: When we didn't know how we were gonna make it,
- 0:42Speaker 1: you made a way when we were weak. You became
- 0:45Speaker 1: our strength when we were discouraged. You've lifted our heads
- 0:48Speaker 1: well we were broken hearted. You drew near to us
- 0:50Speaker 1: time and time again. You've proven that your mercy endures forever,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and that your faithfulness never ends. Lord, thank you for
- 0:58Speaker 1: the prayers that you've already answered, the ones we celebrated,
- 1:01Speaker 1: and even the ones we almost forgot. Thank you for
- 1:04Speaker 1: the doors that you open and no one could shed.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Thank you for the doors that you close and no
- 1:09Speaker 1: one can open again. Thank you that you were protecting
- 1:13Speaker 1: us from what we couldn't see. Thank you for healing us.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Thank you for providing for us. Thank you for comforting us.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Thank you for forgiving us and carrying us through seasons
- 1:22Speaker 1: we never thought we'd survived. Oh Father, Some of us
- 1:26Speaker 1: are still waiting for breakthrough. Some are still believing for healing, restoration, provision,
- 1:31Speaker 1: and reconciliation. Yet even while we wait, we choose to
- 1:35Speaker 1: praise you. We refuse to let unanswered questions silence our
- 1:39Speaker 1: worship because we know that if you've done great things before,
- 1:43Speaker 1: oh you'll do it again. Lord, Fill our hearts with joy,
- 1:47Speaker 1: not the kind that depends on circumstances, but the deep,
- 1:50Speaker 1: abiding joy that comes from knowing you. Let our joy
- 1:53Speaker 1: become our strength. Let our praise become our testimony. Let
- 1:56Speaker 1: our gratitude become an invitation for others to see your
- 2:00Speaker 1: goodness at work in our lives. Oh Father, help us
- 2:03Speaker 1: to never become so focused on what we're still praying
- 2:06Speaker 1: for that we forget to thank you for what you
- 2:09Speaker 1: already done. Open our eyes to recognize your hand in
- 2:12Speaker 1: both the extraordinary miracles and the ordinary blessings. Thank you
- 2:17Speaker 1: for waking us up this morning. Thank you for the
- 2:20Speaker 1: breath of our lungs. Thank you for family, for prayers,
- 2:24Speaker 1: for opportunities, and for your grace that meets us every
- 2:27Speaker 1: single day. And now, Lord, we make this declaration of faith.
- 2:31Speaker 1: We declare that the Lord has done great things for us.
- 2:34Speaker 1: We declare that his faithfulness has never failed us. We
- 2:37Speaker 1: declare that our joy is not based on our circumstances,
- 2:40Speaker 1: but on the goodness of God. Oh, we declare that
- 2:44Speaker 1: our testimony is still being written. We declare that the
- 2:47Speaker 1: same God who blessed us yesterday is blessing us today
- 2:50Speaker 1: and preparing even greater things for tomorrow. We declare that
- 2:54Speaker 1: we will remember your goodness. We will celebrate your faithfulness
- 2:58Speaker 1: and trust you and everything that is still ahead. Father,
- 3:02Speaker 1: Let our lives become living testimonies of your grace. Let
- 3:05Speaker 1: our families, our communities, and everyone around us see that
- 3:09Speaker 1: you are still a miracle work in God. Let our
- 3:12Speaker 1: praise rise higher than our problems, our faith rise higher
- 3:16Speaker 1: than our fears, and our hope remain anchored in your
- 3:19Speaker 1: unfelling love. Today we leave this forra rejoicing, not because
- 3:22Speaker 1: every battle is over, but because we know the one
- 3:25Speaker 1: who fights for us. We rejoice because we know that
- 3:29Speaker 1: you have done great things, you are doing great things,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and by faith we believe that you will continue to
- 3:35Speaker 1: do great things in our lives. Oh, we give your
- 3:37Speaker 1: glory today. We give you all the honor, We give
- 3:40Speaker 1: you all the praise, and the mighty, wonderful, matchless name
- 3:43Speaker 1: of Jesus. We pray, Amen, Amen, and thank you Jesus
