Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie.
- 0:01Speaker 2: It is time for us to go to God in prayer,
- 0:02Speaker 2: and as always I ask that you join along with
- 0:06Speaker 2: me in prayer. My aunt Lulah Miller sends out a
- 0:10Speaker 2: prayer for the family every morning in a scripture, and
- 0:15Speaker 2: on Friday she sent out Jane's one in twelve, where
- 0:18Speaker 2: it says, bless is the one who perseveres under trial,
- 0:22Speaker 2: because having stood the tests, the person will receive the
- 0:25Speaker 2: crown of life that the Lord has promised to those
- 0:28Speaker 2: that love him. I want to pray for that heavenly Father,
- 0:33Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. We come before you with
- 0:36Speaker 2: hearts bowed yet lifted by your word, which gives life,
- 0:40Speaker 2: hope and strength to the weary Lord. You see the
- 0:43Speaker 2: battles we face, some silent, some screaming, but all very real.
- 0:50Speaker 2: In the middle of the storm, you are still God.
- 0:53Speaker 2: In the middle of the tests, you are still faithful Lord.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Today we hold fast to your promise. In James one twelve,
- 1:02Speaker 2: you said, blessed is the one who perseveres under trial.
- 1:06Speaker 1: God, help us to be the one when.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Life is hard and the precious amount, when the tears
- 1:12Speaker 2: fall in secret and the answers don't come quickly. Teach
- 1:15Speaker 2: us to persevere, not with pride or self reliance, but
- 1:19Speaker 2: with eyes locked on You, the author and the finisher
- 1:23Speaker 2: of our faith. We acknowledge our weakness, we also embrace
- 1:28Speaker 2: God your strength. You said that those who stand the
- 1:32Speaker 2: test will receive the crown of life. Not just any life, God,
- 1:36Speaker 2: but you said eternal, abundant, victorious life.
- 1:39Speaker 1: In you.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Remind us God that the struggle is not the end
- 1:43Speaker 2: of the story. The pain is not pointless. That you
- 1:46Speaker 2: are shaping us, You're refining us. You're preparing us for
- 1:49Speaker 2: something that far out weighs what we can see. Right now, God,
- 1:53Speaker 2: when the fire comes, let it purify and not destroy it.
- 1:57Speaker 2: When the burdens feel unbearable, God, be the lift of
- 2:00Speaker 2: our hands. When we feel forgotten and unseen, whisper.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Again that we are chosen by you.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Lord.
- 2:08Speaker 1: We love you, not just for the crown.
- 2:12Speaker 2: You promise, but because you first loved us. You walk
- 2:16Speaker 2: the road of suffering and overcame, and now you walk
- 2:19Speaker 2: with us in our lives every single day, in every situation.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Give us holy endurance, God and an unshakable peace that
- 2:28Speaker 2: goes beyond our human understanding of praise that lives.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Even God.
- 2:33Speaker 2: In the midnight hour, when we feel all alone.
- 2:37Speaker 1: God, we will not give up. God, we will not
- 2:39Speaker 1: turn back.
- 2:41Speaker 2: By your spirit, God, we will indure. We will trust
- 2:45Speaker 2: you even when we can't trace you. God. When the
- 2:50Speaker 2: trial passes, and it will, God, we will stand. We
- 2:54Speaker 2: will not be broken, but we will be blessed, crown
- 2:58Speaker 2: not by man but the hands of the King of Kings,
- 3:02Speaker 2: the Lord of Lords, our Appua, Father, our Daddy God
- 3:07Speaker 2: in Jesus' name,
