- 0:00Speaker 1: I am a Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us
- 0:03Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer. And as always I
- 0:06Speaker 1: invite you to join along with me in prayer. And
- 0:10Speaker 1: sometimes we just need to say it's me, it's me,
- 0:13Speaker 1: it's me, Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, Today we come before you with humble hearts,
- 0:20Speaker 1: praying a simple but powerful prayer, Change me o, God. Lord.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Is easy to ask you to change our circumstances, to
- 0:30Speaker 1: change other people, to change the situations around us. But
- 0:33Speaker 1: today Father, we ask you to start with us. Search
- 0:37Speaker 1: our hearts and reveal anything in us that does not
- 0:40Speaker 1: reflect your character. If there's pride within us, God, replace
- 0:44Speaker 1: it with humility. If there's bitterness in our hearts, God,
- 0:48Speaker 1: replace it with forgiveness. If there is anger that we've
- 0:52Speaker 1: been holding on, to soften our hearts with your love. God.
- 0:56Speaker 1: If there's jealousy, comparison, or even zipment, remind us to
- 1:02Speaker 1: be grateful for the blessings You've already given to us. Lord,
- 1:06Speaker 1: change our thoughts when negativity fills our minds, Renew our
- 1:10Speaker 1: thinking with truth. When fear tries to control us, fill
- 1:14Speaker 1: us with faith. When doubt whispers that we are not enough.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Remind us that we are made in your image and
- 1:21Speaker 1: loved by you. Change our words. Father, Help us to
- 1:26Speaker 1: speak life instead of criticism. Help us to encourage instead
- 1:29Speaker 1: of tearing others down. Guard our mouths from gossip, harsh words,
- 1:35Speaker 1: and careless speech. Let our words reflect kindness, wisdom, and grace.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Change our actions. Teach us to walk in integrity even
- 1:46Speaker 1: when no one's watching. Help us to choose what's right
- 1:49Speaker 1: over what's easy. Strengthen us to turn away from temptations
- 1:53Speaker 1: that try to pull us away from the life you
- 1:56Speaker 1: called us to live. Lord, change our hearts. If we
- 2:00Speaker 1: have grown cold or distant from you, draw us back
- 2:05Speaker 1: into your presence. God, restore our passion for prayer, for worship,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and for living a life that honors you. Creating us
- 2:13Speaker 1: a clean heart. God to renew a right spirit within us. Father,
- 2:18Speaker 1: change how we see others. Help us to be more compassionate.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Help us to be more patient, Help us to be
- 2:24Speaker 1: more understanding. Remind us that everyone we encounter is fighting
- 2:30Speaker 1: battles we may not see. Let us respond with love,
- 2:33Speaker 1: God instead of judgment. And Lord, As you change us,
- 2:37Speaker 1: help us to trust the process. Transformation does not happen overnight,
- 2:42Speaker 1: but we believe that the work you begin in us
- 2:45Speaker 1: you will continue to complete. Shape us God and to
- 2:50Speaker 1: the people who reflect your heart. Mold us God into
- 2:53Speaker 1: the people who walk in your wisdom, Grow us God
- 2:56Speaker 1: into people who show your love to a dying world.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So today we surrender our hearts to you. Change our attitudes,
- 3:04Speaker 1: change our thinking, change our desires, change our lives. Make
- 3:09Speaker 1: us more like you every single day, in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
