Episode Transcript
I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
go to God in prayer.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know, I think.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
About the word of God. You know, we have so
many things sometimes that are happening in our lives. Scenes
we're seeing in our nation, things we're seeing on our
streets and our cities, things that are happening in our
family that will cause us to be paralyzed sometimes with fear.
(00:26):
But I think about Matthew fourteen twenty seven. It says,
but Jesus immediately said to them take courage. It is
I don't be afraid. In Matthew fourteen, the disciples were terrified.
They saw Jesus walking under the water during the storm,
the moment when fear seemed overwhelming. And in life, sometimes
(00:50):
fear for us real life causes.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Us to fear.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So today I want to pray about that Father, God,
in the name of Jesus, Thank you for your word,
your word that reminds us we are never alone, even God,
when fear rises around us.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Lord, you see the storms in our lives.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The illnesses we can't control, the financial burdens, we can't lift,
the broken relationships that we just can't mend, the uncertainties
of our futures and the battles we fight inside our minds. God,
at times, if we will just be honest, we are
(01:34):
just overwhelmed by the ways of anxiety, rejection, loneliness, failure,
and then sometimes God, change can bring on fear. But
today God, we hold onto your voice above all the noise.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Take courage, it is I don't be afraid. You are
the God who walks on the water.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You are the Savior who steps into our storms. You
are the peace that come ass fear to flee. God,
teach our hearts to recognize you even when it's dark,
even when things are uncertain.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Give us courage to trust you that you are.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Closer than the winds that seem to shake us. Help
us to keep our eyes fixed on You, not on
the waves, not on our circumstances. God, Today we surrender
every concern, every care, every fear to you, those that
are known, and sometimes God, just simply the fear of
(02:44):
the unknown.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
God, we stand firm today
