  hour early, and it will be live to you.
• 0:25
  Today, we're going to talk about something that I think is something we can all relate to.
• 0:31
  And that is our workforce. That is our work environment.
• 0:35
  Everywhere we go, every time we get up for work, there are times where we just
• 0:40
  don't know what we're walking into.
• 0:43
  Here's what I want to challenge each and every one of you to do. Good morning, Cindy.
• 0:47
  I want to challenge each and every one of you to say a prayer before you walk
• 0:52
  into work. Because I guarantee you, it will work. Have faith, let it begin.
• 0:58
  Starts right now.
• 1:00
  Have faith, let it begin. When it starts right now.
• 1:07
  Welcome to have faith let it
• 1:10
  begin here's your host angel santana hello
• 1:14
  everyone it's a short introduction we are here
• 1:17
  with many of you on tiktok and we are
• 1:20
  excited to have you with us yes i agree
• 1:23
  you're listening to us and i see notes from john from nighthawk
• 1:26
  he states jesus is our loving father
• 1:29
  and gives us the choice to correct and make
• 1:32
  mistakes and choice nighthawk so well
• 1:35
  put so well said welcome in everyone
• 1:38
  you know back in 2000 when I
• 1:41
  moved to Providence Rhode Island on a on a transfer when
• 1:45
  I walked into the facility when I walked in for the first time and they greeted
• 1:49
  me and they walked me through and it was a formal introduction I felt at home
• 1:55
  and at peace but you know what was hard was for the next two years I didn't
• 2:00
  realize that the owner did not want me.
• 2:03
  And he made it so difficult for me.
• 2:05
  He tried everything in his power by manipulating times of our meetings because
• 2:11
  I worked the night shift.
• 2:12
  He moved them up earlier so that I would have less sleep. He would tell me it
• 2:16
  was scheduled for noon. I'd get there at noon. It was at 10.
• 2:20
  And he did everything in his power to try to break me. And let me tell you,
• 2:24
  there There were many times where he came very close.
• 2:27
  But one of the things that kept me going was my faith, was the strength that
• 2:33
  I had in the power of God. And you know what I used to do?
• 2:37
  I used to say to myself, God, I need you to help me.
• 2:41
  But I would always say it on the way out of work.
• 2:45
  One day, somebody stopped and approached me and they said, Angel,
• 2:47
  have you ever prayed before you walk into work?
• 2:50
  I says, well, yeah, I mean, I prayed during. No, no, I'm asking you a question.
• 2:54
  They said, do you ever pray before you even get out of the car and then you
• 2:58
  walk into work? And I said, no, I haven't done that.
• 3:01
  The first time I did it, the work environment changed.
• 3:06
  So moving forward, anytime I've ever walked into work, I felt the need to pray.
• 3:12
  And it's a small prayer. You don't have to go crazy. You know,
• 3:15
  people always talk about how do I pray?
• 3:18
  Listen, God is your best friend. So you know what? You can talk to him any way
• 3:22
  you want. Hey, God, what's up?
• 3:24
  It's angel, I'm going into work. Be with me. Thank you so much.
• 3:27
  Protect all that in the building.
• 3:29
  Thank you. Hey, we'll talk later. Amen. That's a prayer. Believe it or not, that is a prayer.
• 3:34
  You're just, it's a relationship you have with God. Some people will say,
• 3:38
  well, that's not a, it is a prayer.
• 3:40
  Prayer is prayer. And as long as you, good morning there, fearless.
• 3:45
  There's morning, the morning you wake up, anytime you talk to God,
• 3:50
  that is a prayer. Just like, you know, the Bible is a love letter from God to us.
• 3:56
  Let me tell you something. I guarantee you that no matter what we do in our work environment,
• 4:03
  we can create so much more if we allow ourselves the ability to keep our faith
• 4:09
  strong so that when we go out and we get ready to walk into our buildings, we know that God has us.
• 4:17
  There's a thing called the armor of God and he has us protected.
• 4:21
  And that armor is so tight, so strong.
• 4:25
  No one can pierce it. Our faith strengthens it. Remember that.
• 4:30
  If you're here on TikTok, you know that I am not about the views.
• 4:34
  I'm not about the downloads.
• 4:37
  I am about doing what God has provided me, which is a gift. My gift is I'm able to talk off the cuff.
• 4:44
  My gift is to reach out to each and every one of you and to share with you my
• 4:50
  past, my present, and hopefully one day my future.
• 4:53
  So this is a no gifting zone and we
• 4:57
  don't need to go out and ask for gifts we just want to share my gift with you
• 5:04
  and that's verbally and spiritually so let me end like this if you have a prayer
• 5:10
  request and you want to speak to me and this goes for the podcast as well.
• 5:16
  I have, I have a cell phone. Boston knows this.
• 5:22
  And that is, you can reach out to me by text, 845-391-2312.
• 5:29
  And I will send you a prayer. It's going right to me.
• 5:33
  I'm telling you right now, there are many people out there that have asked me
• 5:37
  for one thing, and that is, what can we do to make the world a better place?
• 5:42
  How is it that you can be so happy angel when we have so much going on in the world?
• 5:48
  It's a great question The question
• 5:50
  That I can answer the best way I can answer sun shines in the house.
• 5:54
  The best way I can answer that Question is this Every morning we wake up,
• 6:00
  Every morning that we wake up It is a blessing Number two No matter what happens
• 6:07
  in our life No matter how bad things can be,
• 6:11
  Know that God has us in his hands Know that God protects us God believes in
• 6:18
  us God trusts in us God will never leave your side Thank you so much,
• 6:23
  Remember this If you're also a person that's in our live right now on TikTok
• 6:27
  If you see that gentleman right there Mr.
• 6:29
  Sunshine Chaser He has the greatest morning experience.
• 6:35
  Show, I call it a show, on his live editions.
• 6:40
  The gentleman will give you views from so many different areas,
• 6:44
  from the lakes to bridges to sunrise.
• 6:47
  And I guarantee you, it's a great time for you to pray in silence.
• 6:51
  It's a great time to interact. Mr. Sunshine is an amazing person.
• 6:55
  Today is a glorious day. Today is the day that the Lord has made.
• 6:58
  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
• 7:01
  So today I'm going to pray for each and every one of you, just as I'm about
• 7:05
  to pray to go into work. And this is the prayer.
• 7:07
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 7:11
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 7:17
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
• 7:22
  debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
• 7:25
  Deliver us from evil. for yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.
• 7:31
  Heavenly Father, we ask you to watch over all of us. Keep us safe, keep us secure.
• 7:37
  Protect the children that go into school. Protect the doctors and nurses,
• 7:41
  hospitals and buildings all over the world.
• 7:44
  Protect the colleges so these students can pray. These students can learn.
• 7:49
  These students can't be distracted by all the negative protesters.
• 7:53
  I'm not saying that protesting isn't bad, but negativity in a location where
• 7:59
  it does not allow others to study and to learn is considered negative.
• 8:06
  We need to keep things positive. We need to keep things in a good environment.
• 8:11
  We pray for doctors and lawyers. We pray for police, fire and rescue,
• 8:16
  first responders, EMTs.
• 8:19
  We pray for each and every one of you in TikTok. We pray for each and every
• 8:22
  one of you in the half faith, let it begin community. We lift up in prayer, a praise.
• 8:26
  We've been praying for a gentleman named Gavin, stage four cancer, and they got it all.
• 8:32
  He's only got a little bit left and he is going to be cancer-free.
• 8:36
  Praise God. We pray for Madison, a seven-year-old girl, young little girl who overcame cancer.
• 8:45
  We pray because the power of prayer is real.
• 8:50
  If you believe in prayer, then you know that a day without prayer is a day without power.
• 8:55
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
• 9:00
  single one of you peace on earth.
• 9:02

• 9:08
