- 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
- 0:06Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I'm just always reminded of something that I confess. I
- 0:13Speaker 1: can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And
- 0:17Speaker 1: that's what we're praying about on today, Heavenly Father, Today
- 0:20Speaker 1: we come before you standing on the unshakable promise found
- 0:24Speaker 1: in Philippians four thirteen. I can do all things through
- 0:28Speaker 1: Christ who strengthens me. Lord, thank you that this is
- 0:32Speaker 1: not just an encouraging verse. It is a declaration of
- 0:35Speaker 1: victory for every believer who places their trust in you,
- 0:39Speaker 1: Oh Father. There are those praying today who feel like
- 0:43Speaker 1: they've reached the end of their strength. Some are carrying
- 0:46Speaker 1: burdens that seem too heavy. Some are facing battles they
- 0:50Speaker 1: never imagine they would have to fight. Some are raising families,
- 0:54Speaker 1: caring for aging parents, battling sickness, is grieving loss, making
- 0:58Speaker 1: difficult decisions, or simply trying to keep moving forward one
- 1:03Speaker 1: day at a time. But Lord, today we declare that
- 1:06Speaker 1: our strength does not come from ourselves. Our strength comes
- 1:09Speaker 1: from You. When we're weak, be our strength when we're
- 1:13Speaker 1: wear We renew us when we are discouraged to lift
- 1:16Speaker 1: our heads when fear whispers that we cannot make it.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Let your spirit remind us that through Christ we are
- 1:24Speaker 1: stronger than every obstacle before us. Father's Strengthen the mother
- 1:29Speaker 1: who feels like she has nothing left to give. Strengthen
- 1:33Speaker 1: the father carrying the weight of providing for his family.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Strengthen the student faithing overwhelming pressure. Strengthen the caregiver who
- 1:41Speaker 1: faithfully serves day after day. Strengthen the ministry leader who
- 1:47Speaker 1: has become weary and well doing. Strengthen the person who
- 1:50Speaker 1: is quietly fighting battles no one else knows about. Lord,
- 1:54Speaker 1: where there has been defeat, you release fresh courage where
- 1:57Speaker 1: there's been weakness. God pour out supernatural strength. Where there's
- 2:00Speaker 1: been fear, fill us with boldness. Let us stop looking
- 2:04Speaker 1: at the size of the mountain and began looking at
- 2:07Speaker 1: the greatness of our God. Oh Father, remind us that
- 2:10Speaker 1: because Christ lives within us, we are never facing life's
- 2:14Speaker 1: challenges alone. The same power that raised Jesus from the
- 2:17Speaker 1: dead now works within those who believe. Therefore, we will
- 2:21Speaker 1: not surrender to fear, We will not bow to discouragement.
- 2:25Speaker 1: We will not allow disappointment to define us. We will
- 2:28Speaker 1: rise in the strength You provide. And now, Lord, we
- 2:31Speaker 1: make this declaration of faith. We declare that we can
- 2:35Speaker 1: do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. We declare
- 2:38Speaker 1: that we have strength for this season. We declare that
- 2:40Speaker 1: we have grace for today's assignment. We declare that we
- 2:44Speaker 1: have wisdom for every decision. We declare that we have
- 2:47Speaker 1: peace in the middle of every storm. We declare that
- 2:50Speaker 1: we have courage to face every battle. We declare that
- 2:53Speaker 1: every obstacle before us is subject to the power of
- 2:56Speaker 1: the Almighty God. We declare that we will not we
- 3:00Speaker 1: will not give up, We will not lose heart because
- 3:03Speaker 1: Christ is strengthening us every step of the way. Oh Father,
- 3:07Speaker 1: thank you that when our strength runs out, yours never does.
