  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And today,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I just want to pray about the grace of God.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, today we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: come before you with grateful hearts because we're reminded that
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we are here, not because we've been perfect, but because
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of your grace. Lord, your grace has carried us through
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: things we didn't think we would survive. Your grace has
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: kept us when we were weak. Your grace covered us
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: when we made mistakes. Your grace found us when we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: were lost and lifted us when we had fallen. Father,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: thank you for grace that we didn't earn and mercy
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we didn't deserve. There were doors you opened that we
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: weren't qualified to walk through. There were dangers you protected
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: us from that we never knew were coming. There were times...
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We should have given up, but somehow you gave us
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: strength to keep on going. That was grace. Lord, we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: thank you for the grace that meets us every morning.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: New mercy, new strength, new opportunity, another chance, God, to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: get it right. Your grace doesn't give us permission to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: remain the same. It gives us the power to become
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: who you called us to be. Father, for the person
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: who feels unworthy today, remind them that your grace is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: greater than their past. For the person carrying guilt, remind
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: them that your grace offers forgiveness. For the person who
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: has fallen, remind them that your grace can lift them
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: up again. For the person who feels like they've messed
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up too badly, for you to use them, remind them
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that you specialize in taking broken things and creating something
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. Lord, your word says that your grace is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: sufficient and your strength is made perfect in weakness. So
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: today we don't have to pretend that we're strong. We
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: can admit to you that we're tired. We can admit
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that we need you. We can admit that we don't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: have all the answers because where our strength is. Your
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: grace begins.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Don't. And Lord, help
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: us extend to others the same grace that you've extended
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to us. Keep us from being quick to judge when
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we know that we've needed mercy ourselves. Teach us, God,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to forgive, to love, to show compassion, and to remember
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that everyone is fighting a battle that we may not see.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Today we declare that we are covered by the grace
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of God. Our paths cannot disqualify us from that grace. God,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: our mistakes cannot exhaust your grace. Oh, our failures cannot
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: outrun your grace. Our weakness cannot cancel your grace. Oh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: our circumstances cannot separate us from your grace. God, your
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: grace is carrying us. God, your grace is sustaining us. God,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: your grace is strengthening us. Your grace is keeping us.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And your grace will carry us all the way to purpose. Father,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: thank you for every time you gave us another chance.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you for every time you said, get back up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you for loving us when we didn't love ourselves.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you for keeping us when we couldn't keep ourselves.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you that our story is still being written. Lord,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: let us never become so familiar with your blessings that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we forget to appreciate your grace. If we have nothing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: else to say, let us always be able to say, Lord,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we thank you for your grace. Grace that saved us.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Grace that keeps us. Grace that restores us. Grace that
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: strengthens us. Grace that carries us. And grace that will
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: never run out in the mighty, marvelous, matchless name of Jesus. Amen, amen,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and amen.
