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