Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It is time for us to go to God in prayer.
- 0:02Speaker 1: And as always, I invite you to join along with
- 0:05Speaker 1: me in prayer. You know, sometimes we go through seasons,
- 0:07Speaker 1: if we'll just be honest, that are just hard. And
- 0:11Speaker 1: I just want to pray that we will not give
- 0:13Speaker 1: up in the hard seasons, but that we will hold on.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Father God, in the mighty, matchless, powerful name of Jesus,
- 0:21Speaker 1: we come before you today praying for the people who
- 0:23Speaker 1: are tired of fighting, tired of waiting. tired of believing
- 0:28Speaker 1: and tired of having to be strong when everything around
- 0:31Speaker 1: them seems to be falling apart. Lord, somebody is standing
- 0:36Speaker 1: at the edge of giving up. Somebody has prayed the
- 0:39Speaker 1: same prayer over and over and still hasn't seen the answer.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Somebody is smiling in public but breaking down in private.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Somebody is wondering how much longer they can keep going. Oh, Father,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I ask that you breathe fresh strength into their spirit
- 0:54Speaker 1: right now in the name of Jesus. Remind them that
- 0:57Speaker 1: they are too close to give up now, too close
- 1:00Speaker 1: to the promise, too close to the breakthrough, too close
- 1:03Speaker 1: to the answer, too close to the next chapter that
- 1:06Speaker 1: you're preparing them to walk into. Your word declares in
- 1:10Speaker 1: Galatians 6 and 9, and let us not be weary
- 1:12Speaker 1: in well-doing for in due season, we're going to reap
- 1:16Speaker 1: God if we don't faint and give up. Lord, help
- 1:18Speaker 1: us not to faint. Help us not to quit in
- 1:20Speaker 1: the middle of the process because the process has become painful.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Help us not to abandon the dream because the journey
- 1:26Speaker 1: has been difficult. Help us not to mistake a season
- 1:29Speaker 1: of waiting for a lifetime of disappointment. Oh, Father, when
- 1:33Speaker 1: our strength is going to be our strength, when our
- 1:35Speaker 1: faith is wavering, remind us of your faithfulness. When fear
- 1:39Speaker 1: whispers that nothing will ever change, remind us of every
- 1:43Speaker 1: time you brought us through something we thought would break us.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You brought us through the last storm. You carried us
- 1:50Speaker 1: through the last heartbreak. You made a way when we
- 1:54Speaker 1: couldn't see a way. You kept our minds when life
- 1:57Speaker 1: tried to overwhelm us. And the same God who kept
- 2:00Speaker 1: us then is still keeping us now. So Lord, silence
- 2:03Speaker 1: the voice of discouragement. Break the grip of hopelessness. Remind
- 2:08Speaker 1: us that we don't have to see the entire staircase
- 2:10Speaker 1: to take the next step. We don't have to know
- 2:13Speaker 1: how everything is going to work out in order to
- 2:16Speaker 1: trust the one who holds our future. So for the
- 2:18Speaker 1: person waiting on a financial breakthrough, God, help them to
- 2:21Speaker 1: hold on. For the person believing for healing, help them
- 2:24Speaker 1: to hold on. For the person praying for their children,
- 2:27Speaker 1: their marriage, their family, or another opportunity, help them to
- 2:31Speaker 1: hold on, God. And for the person who has carried
- 2:34Speaker 1: so many tears that they no longer have the words
- 2:37Speaker 1: to pray, let them feel your presence in a way
- 2:40Speaker 1: that reminds them they are not alone. Amen. Father, give
- 2:44Speaker 1: us the courage to keep showing up, the wisdom to
- 2:46Speaker 1: take the next right step, and the faith to trust
- 2:49Speaker 1: you even when the answer looks different from what we expected. Oh, God,
- 2:53Speaker 1: we will not let this difficult season convince us to
- 2:56Speaker 1: abandon our future. Oh, God, we will keep praying. Oh, God,
- 3:01Speaker 1: we will keep believing. We will keep moving forward one
- 3:03Speaker 1: step at a time. Lord, hold us together when life
- 3:06Speaker 1: feels like it's falling apart. Remind us that our delay
- 3:10Speaker 1: is not proof of your absence and our struggle is
- 3:12Speaker 1: not proof that you have forgotten about us. And when
- 3:15Speaker 1: we can't understand what you're doing, help us to trust
- 3:18Speaker 1: who you are. God, we're tired, Lord, but we're not
- 3:22Speaker 1: giving up. We're hurting, God, but we're still hoping. We're waiting, God,
- 3:26Speaker 1: but we're still believing. By your grace, God, we will
- 3:29Speaker 1: hold on. In the name of Jesus, amen, amen, and amen.
