Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Sherry Mackey, and it's time for us to
go to God in prayer. You know I always invite
you to join with me in prayer. And I was
thinking about the intentionality of God. He's intentional about you,
He's intentional about me. He's intentional about our purpose and
our destiny. So, Heavenly Father, we come before you today,
(00:22):
humbled by the knowledge that you, the creator of the
heaven and Earth, are intentional, deliberate in all your ways,
precise in every plan, and unfailing in your purpose. You're
mindful of us. How nothing escapes your notice. No moment
(00:43):
has ever wasted, no tear unsee, no struggle overlooked. You
are the author and the finisher of our faith. You
write our story with love, with mercy, and with eternal vision. Lord,
Thank you, Thank you that we are not accidents. We're
not afterthoughts. We're not lost in the shuffle of life.
(01:06):
We are known by you, We are chosen by you.
We are called by name. God. You crafted us with care,
woven us in our mother's womb with holy detail. God,
you see our end from the beginning, and you still
walk with us every step of the way. Lord, when
(01:27):
life feels scattered when plans unravel. God, when we question
why or how our wind remind us, you're not surprised
our life, our situation. They don't catch you by surprise.
You're not an absent Father, You're not confused by what's
going on in our lives. But you are intentional. Even
(01:48):
in the silence, God, you're speaking. Even in the waiting, God,
you're working, even in the breaking, God, you're building something
beautiful in our lives. Because all things, yes, all things
are working together for the good of those who are
loved by you and love you who are called according
to your purpose. God, we believe that our pain is
(02:11):
not pointless, that our disappointments are not wasted, Our details
are not without meaning, for you are the God who
brings water from rocks, beauty from ashes, life from death.
What the enemy meant for evil, God, you turn that
thing around for our good. Who what we thought was delay,
you use for development what we saw as a setback.
(02:34):
You made a setup for glory. So today, Father, help
us trust you in not knowing, rest in you and
not yet, and rejoice you and not right now. Align
our hearts with Heaven's agenda. God, shape our perspective until
we see through the lens of faith. Let your spirit
(02:55):
remain in us and remind us daily but you are
for us, You're not against us, and you're more than
the whole world against us. Help us to know and
remember God that your plan for our lives is perfect,
even when it's painful. God, we surrender our expectations and God,
(03:18):
we take hold of your promises and your word. We
release our need to control, and God we embrace your
sovereignty because you are not random, you are not reckless.
You are intentional, and we're safe in your hands. Thank
you God for working all things out for us.
