  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: today I am thinking about the people who always carry
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: everybody else and then they put themselves last. And I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: want to pray for you and me today, Heavenly Father.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Today we come before you on behalf of those those
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who have spent so much of their lives carrying everyone else.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: The caregivers, the providers, the encouragers, the strong ones, the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: ones who answer the phone, the ones who show up,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the ones who are there when needed and hold everything
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: together when others are falling apart. Lord, you see them.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You see the person who's been carrying the weight of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: responsibility for family, for friends, for work, for ministry and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: countless obligations. You see the one who's always pouring out
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: but barely stops to refeel. The one who checks on
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: everybody else while silently struggling themselves. The one who's become
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: so accustomed to being strong that they no longer know
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: how to ask for help. Oh Father God, today we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: ask that you minister to them, Lord, remind them that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they were never meant to carry the entire world on
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: their shoulder. That position belongs to you and you alone.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Oh forgive us God for the times we have mistaken
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: exhaustion for faithfulness and burn out for strength. Teach us
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that even Jesus withdrew to rest, to pray, and to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be renewed. Father, released the pressure that we've been carrying,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the pressure to fix everything, the pressure to meet every expectation,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the pressure to rescue everybody else. Help us, God, to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: understand that we can love people deeply without carrying burdens
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you never assigned to us. Lord, restore our minds. Quiet
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the constant thoughts, the endless to do lists, the worries
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that follow us from morning until night. Replace anxiety with peace,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: O God. Replace overwhelming thoughts with clarity. Replace exhaustion with
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: your supernatural strength. Oh God, heal The place is where
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: neglect of self has left wounds. Some have ignored their
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: own needs, postponed their own healing, delayed their own rest,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and buried their own emotions while caring for others Today,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: remind them that they matter to Their health matters, their
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: peace matters, their joy matters, their relationship with You matters.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Oh God, give them permission to rest without guilt, to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: say no when necessary, to set healthy boundaries, to trust
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you with what they cannot control. Help them understand that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: self care is not selfishness when it allows them to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: continue walking in the purpose you've given them. Lord, refresh
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: their spirits, let them lie down in the green pastors
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that you promise, restore their souls. Fill every empty place,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: revide their passion, replenish everything that has been depleted through
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: years of giving and Father, remind them that they do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not have to be everybody else's saved you, because they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: already have one. You are the beard and baron. You
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: are the way maker, You are the provider. You God
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are the hero. And today we surrender every weight, We
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: surrender every responsibility. We surrender every burden into your hands.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We choose to trust you with the things that we
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: can see, and the things we cannot, and the things
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that we can no longer carry. Thank you for seeing us,
• 3:40
