Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
go to God in prayer. And as always I ask
that you join along with us in prayer. You know,
I think about so often we are comparing our lives
to everybody else and looking at what somebody else has,
or they got this family, they got that family, or
they got this money, they got this gift, this talent,

(00:20):
and we are discontented. Well, today I want to pray
about us being satisfied with Jesus and him ordering our
steps and what he is doing in our lives. Father, God,
in the name of Jesus, Lord, you are the bread
of life. Yet we confess we have fed our hearts
with less of things. You are living water, but we've

(00:44):
chased broken things that cannot hold anything. Today, God, we
return hungry, thirsty, weary God, and we ask satisfy us
with You and you alone. All around us, the world
whispers that we need more and more, more and more success,
more comfort, more approval. But you, Lord, whisper something different.

(01:05):
You say, God, I am enough, And so God, today
we quiet our soul before you. Right now, Jesus, we
lay down our cravings. We surrender the idols that we've
built in our lives the applause, the control, the endless striving,
and God, we choose instead to trust that what you

(01:25):
offer us is so much better, so much deeper, so
much fuller and eternally lasting. Lord, open our eyes to
the beauty of your presence when we feel for God,
and remind us you are the God who sees when
we feel empty. Fill us with the richness of your word.

(01:46):
When we feel our love anchor us and the truth
of the cross. When you proved once and for all
that we are worth dying for Jesus, we want to
long for you more than anything. God, let our desires
be shaped by eternity. Teach us to feast on your promises,
to rest in your grace, and to rejoice in your

(02:09):
presence even in silence. God, break every chain God that
binds us to false comforts. Let the sweetness of your
presence drown out the noisiness of life. Let your peace God,
our hearts, God, and your joy become our strength. God.
When we're attempted to wonder, call us back with the
kindness of your voice. When we're tempted to doubt, God,

(02:31):
steady us with the truth of who you are. Jesus,
you are our portion, You are our shepherd, You are
our savior, you are our son. God, help us to
live as people who truly are satisfied in you, not
just today, but every day that you give us breath.
Make our lives show and be a testimony that Jesus

(02:54):
is enough. In your beautiful, powerful, and satisfying name, we
pray God, we will be satisfied in You. Amen. Amen,
