- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 0:00Speaker 2: It is time for us to go to God in prayer,
- 0:03Speaker 2: and as always, I ask that you join along with me.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I was driving the other day, and as I was driving,
- 0:12Speaker 2: I was following the GPS because I was going to
- 0:14Speaker 2: a new place, a place I hadn't been to before,
- 0:17Speaker 2: and the GPS kind of took me off the beaten path,
- 0:20Speaker 2: if you will. It took me off the highway and
- 0:22Speaker 2: took me down through a neighborhood. And as I was
- 0:24Speaker 2: driving through the neighborhood, I felt such.
- 0:26Speaker 1: A grief that came over me.
- 0:29Speaker 2: When I saw the different things that were going on
- 0:31Speaker 2: in this neighborhood, and I thought, my God, people are
- 0:35Speaker 2: living here next to all of this craziness, y'all. I
- 0:39Speaker 2: started praying as I was driving around this neighborhood. And
- 0:43Speaker 2: I'm talking about a war fear prayer, and I was
- 0:47Speaker 2: driving through that neighborhood. I was praying all while I
- 0:49Speaker 2: was driving through that neighborhood. And you would think I
- 0:51Speaker 2: was praying for my safety, but I was not. I
- 0:53Speaker 2: was praying for that neighborhood, praying for those families that
- 0:57Speaker 2: live in that neighborhood, praying for those children growing up
- 1:00Speaker 2: in that neighborhood, praying that they won't be influenced by
- 1:04Speaker 2: the things that I witnessed as I was driving through.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Then I went on to my event.
- 1:08Speaker 2: I left the event, and as I was headed home,
- 1:10Speaker 2: I just kind of prayed again for that neighborhood and
- 1:13Speaker 2: others like it that maybe I was not privy to.
- 1:16Speaker 1: And so I went on about my business.
- 1:18Speaker 2: And then I was coming into the studio this morning,
- 1:20Speaker 2: and as I was coming up the elevator, the lord
- 1:22Speaker 2: asked me, when was the last time you prayed for
- 1:24Speaker 2: your neighborhood. Oh, wait, my neighborhood, y'all, we have no
- 1:28Speaker 2: idea what our neighbors may be going through. We should
- 1:33Speaker 2: be daily praying for our neighborhood, taking a prayer walk,
- 1:36Speaker 2: if you will, around our neighborhood. Maybe a prayer drive
- 1:39Speaker 2: through our neighborhood, because you don't know who's dealing with sickness,
- 1:43Speaker 2: who's dealing with financial act who's dealing with any other
- 1:47Speaker 2: kind of issue in their.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Home that we have no clue about it. Y'all.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I felt convicted, and I have made a choice in
- 1:54Speaker 2: moving forward. I'm going to do a prayer drive or
- 1:56Speaker 2: a prayer walk through my neighborhood. Father, God, in the
