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 ask
- 0:07Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. This morning.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the faithfulness of God, and that's
- 0:14Speaker 1: what I want to meditate on pray on this morning,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, God, in
- 0:21Speaker 1: this prayer today, we want to pause to remember, to
- 0:26Speaker 1: call to mind the truth that rescues our hearts from despair,
- 0:30Speaker 1: that your mercy never fails. In a world filled with
- 0:35Speaker 1: chaos and confusion and uncertainty, we take refuge in your
- 0:40Speaker 1: unchanging word. When our souls are weary and our eyes
- 0:43Speaker 1: are filled with tears, we cling to the hope you
- 0:46Speaker 1: have promised that your compassions are new every morning. Lord,
- 0:51Speaker 1: Sometimes life feels like one long night. The burdens we
- 0:56Speaker 1: carry feel heavier than we can bear. Grief knocks at
- 0:59Speaker 1: our doors, Disappointments whisper in the darken. Even in our faith, God,
- 1:04Speaker 1: if we'll be honest, we grow faint. But God, even there,
- 1:08Speaker 1: you reach into our brokenness, and you remind us we
- 1:11Speaker 1: are not consumed. God, Your mercy wraps around us like
- 1:15Speaker 1: a warm blanket. Your love holds us even when we
- 1:19Speaker 1: can't hold ourselves. So today, Lord, we lift our eyes
- 1:23Speaker 1: not to what we see, but to who we know
- 1:26Speaker 1: You are. God. You are faithful even when we are faithless.
- 1:30Speaker 1: You are steady even when we feel shaken. You are
- 1:34Speaker 1: good even when life feels hard, and we say, like
- 1:37Speaker 1: the prophet Jeremiah, this I recall to my mind. Therefore
- 1:42Speaker 1: I have hope. Father, we thank you that every morning
- 1:47Speaker 1: we wake up to new mercies, not recycled grace God,
- 1:51Speaker 1: not left over love, but brand new compassion Taylor made
- 1:55Speaker 1: for each day's struggle. When the enemy whispers that we're
- 1:58Speaker 1: nod enough, God, you remind us that your grace is sufficient.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Your grace is enough. When shame tries to shackle us,
- 2:07Speaker 1: you remind us that your love has already paid the price.
- 2:11Speaker 1: When fear tries to paralyze us, you surround us with
- 2:15Speaker 1: your presence, and you declare, fear not, for I am
- 2:18Speaker 1: with you. Lord, stare our hearts today with gratitude. Let
- 2:22Speaker 1: us not rush past the beauty of your faithfulness. Let
- 2:26Speaker 1: us not be numb to the miracle of your mercy.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Breathing to us again, God, let fresh fire fall from
- 2:33Speaker 1: our weary spirits, revive us, restore us, renew us. For
- 2:38Speaker 1: you are the God of new beginnings. We may not
- 2:41Speaker 1: have all the answers, but we have your promise, and
- 2:45Speaker 1: that is enough. So we declare God, great is your faithfulness.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Morning by morning, day by day, you remain. And because
- 2:53Speaker 1: of your steadfast love, we will not give up. We
- 2:58Speaker 1: will not be concerned, We will not lose hope, even
- 3:01Speaker 1: in the waiting, even in the weeping, even in the wilderness. God,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you are still God, and you're still good Father. We
- 3:10Speaker 1: seal this prayer in the mighty matches wonderful name of Jesus. Amen. Amen, Amen,
