- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry NACKI, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always I ask
- 0:07Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. So often
- 0:12Speaker 1: we've carried so much for so long, when we need
- 0:15Speaker 1: to just give it to God, Heavenly Father, in the
- 0:18Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ, we come to you right now, God,
- 0:21Speaker 1: with open hands and humbled hearts, ready to lay it
- 0:25Speaker 1: all down. God Lord, we confess we've carried so much God,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and we've carried it so long, trying to be God
- 0:34Speaker 1: in our own lives, God and our family's lives. We
- 0:38Speaker 1: tried to fix things ourselves. We tried to hold everything together.
- 0:43Speaker 1: We tried to be strong when we should have just surrendered.
- 0:48Speaker 1: But today God, we let it go. We surrender our plans,
- 0:53Speaker 1: the ones we worked so hard to build but never
- 0:56Speaker 1: fully gave to You. We surrender our expectations, our timelines,
- 1:01Speaker 1: our control, because truthfully, you never asked us to carry
- 1:05Speaker 1: the weight of the world on our shoulders. You simply
- 1:08Speaker 1: asked us God, to have faith and trust in You.
- 1:12Speaker 1: So Lord, we surrender our burdens. We surrender every worry,
- 1:16Speaker 1: every fear, every ounce of anxiety that's been pressing on
- 1:21Speaker 1: our chest. God, we give you our confusion, our unanswered questions,
- 1:25Speaker 1: the hard break that we try to hide. Father, you
- 1:29Speaker 1: see the parts of us that we don't show anybody else. God,
- 1:33Speaker 1: you see the battles in our minds, the scars on
- 1:36Speaker 1: our souls, And still you invite us to come. You
- 1:40Speaker 1: invite us to lay it all at your feet. So
- 1:44Speaker 1: here we are. Lord. We surrender our past. We surrender
- 1:47Speaker 1: every mistake, every regret, every wrong turn. We surrender the
- 1:52Speaker 1: pain that still echoes in our memories. And God, we
- 1:56Speaker 1: even surrender our success, the tie, the achievements, the things
- 2:02Speaker 1: we've used to define ourselves, the pride that goes with it,
- 2:06Speaker 1: because we don't want anything, God to take your place
- 2:09Speaker 1: in our hearts. God, we surrender our relationships, the ones
- 2:13Speaker 1: we're trying to fix, the ones that are falling apart,
- 2:16Speaker 1: and the ones we need to let go of but
- 2:19Speaker 1: haven't had the strength. God. We surrender our children, our
- 2:23Speaker 1: spous is, our families, because they were yours before they
- 2:27Speaker 1: were ever ours. God, teach us to trust you with
- 2:31Speaker 1: what we treasure most. God, we surrender the unknown. God.
- 2:35Speaker 1: We don't always understand what you're doing, but we know
- 2:40Speaker 1: you're still and even when we can't trace your hand,
- 2:44Speaker 1: we choose to trust your heart break our need to
- 2:47Speaker 1: be in control help us rest in the truth that
- 2:50Speaker 1: you are in control and you are always working for
- 2:54Speaker 1: our good Lord. We give you our eyes, our full, unfilled,
- 3:00Speaker 1: unconditional yes, even when it cost us comfort, even when
- 3:05Speaker 1: it stretches our faith, even when we don't understand the
- 3:08Speaker 1: path ahead. We say yes to your will, yes to
- 3:12Speaker 1: your way, yes to your plan for our lives, because
- 3:15Speaker 1: what we gain in surrender is far greater than anything
- 3:19Speaker 1: that we have to give us souriin in us, Jesus,
- 3:24Speaker 1: take your rightful places, Lord of our lives. We don't
- 3:27Speaker 1: just want you to be our safe if we want
- 3:29Speaker 1: you to be our king, our Lord. Teach us God
- 3:34Speaker 1: to live with open hands, trusting hearts, and surrender spirits. Lord,
- 3:38Speaker 1: we declare today not our will but yours be done. God.
