  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
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. And I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: don't want us to allow our past to limit our future.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: before you today asking you to break every chain that
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: has kept us bound to our past. Lord, don't let
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: our past limit our future. Don't let yesterday's mistakes, yesterday's disappointments,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: yesterday's heartbreaks, yesterday's failures, or missed opportunities determine what we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: believe is possible.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: For our tomorrow.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: To spend the rest of our lives punishing ourselves for
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: things you've already forgiven us for. We refuse to keep
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: replaying old conversations, regretting old decisions, and carrying shame over
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: seasons that you've already brought us through. Your word declares
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in Isaiah 43, 18 through 19, that we should not
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: dwell on the forward things because you are doing a
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: new thing.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So Lord, open our eyes to the new things.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Help us to recognize that our history is a part
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of our story, but it does not have to dictate
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: our destiny.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Come on, Jesus. We are not who we used to be.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: We've grown, God. We've matured. We've learned.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We've survived things that we thought we never could survive.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And by your grace, God, we're still standing. So, Father,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: don't let us be limited by the fear of failure.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Deliver us from the fear of trying and not succeeding.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The fear of stepping out and being criticized, the fear
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of starting over, and the fear of looking foolish while
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we're learning something new. Oh, God, remind us that failure
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is not the end of our story. Sometimes the greatest
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lessons come from the very experiences we wish we had.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: We could erase.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So Lord, don't let us be intimidated by what we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: don't have right now. Just because we don't have the money,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the connections, the resources, the experience or the support we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: think we need.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that we cannot begin.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So help us to stop focusing on what's missing and start.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: being faithful with what's already in our hands. Oh, Moses
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: had a staff. David had a sling. The widow had
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a little oil. And Father, if you can use.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: What they had, you can use what we have. Come on, Jesus.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Give us the courage to apply for the opportunity, to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: launch the business, to write the book, to pursue the dream,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to walk into the room and embrace the assignment that
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you placed on our hearts. Help us to stop disqualifying
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: ourselves from the things that you may be calling us to.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Your word says in Philippians 4.13 that we can do
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: all things through Christ who strengthens us so we will
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: not shrink back.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: We will not allow fear to make.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Our decisions and we will not allow our present circumstance
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to convince us that our future is limited. Oh, Father God,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we stretch our faith.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: We stretch. our confidence.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: We sharpen our discernment and we trust you to order
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: our steps. Give us the courage to move before we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have every answer and the wisdom to trust you through
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: every unfamiliar season. Our past will not imprison us. Our
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: fear will not paralyze us. Our lack will not define
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: us and our mistakes will not have the final word.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So, Lord, we're moving forward.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Not because we have everything figured out, but because we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: trust the.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: One who holds our future.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Today, we declare we will not let our past dictate
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: our future. Fear steal our courage or what we lack.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Stop us from taking the next steps. God, we acknowledge
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that you are still working on us, working through us,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and preparing us for what's ahead in Jesus' name.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Amen, amen, and amen.
