Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
go to God in prayer, and as always I invite
you to join along with me in prayer. You know,
this morning I was thinking about every day I say, Lord,
lead and guide me, order my steps and your word
and in your way, and I just want to pray
about that this morning. Us being led by the Lord,
heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
(00:20):
before you in full surrender, hearts open, minds quieted, and
spirits hungry God, hungry for your voice. Lord, in a
world soul filled with noise and confusion and countless decisions. God,
we need your leading more than ever before. We are
not wise enough to chart our own course. We are
not strong enough to walk this journey along. So today God,
(00:43):
we lean in. We fix our eyes on You, the
offer and the finisher of our faith. In we ask you,
Lord to lead us. Lead us. God beside steal waters
when our souls are weary. Lead us and pass of
righteousness when temptation tries to sway us. Lead us, Father,
when life throws us into valleys so dark that we
can't even see our way out. Be a lamping to
(01:06):
our feet. And a light to our path. You said
in your word, my sheep hear my voice, and I
know them they follow me. Lord, help us to hear
you clearly. Tune our ears to the frequency of heaven.
Quiet the voice of fear, Mute the noise of doubt.
Silence every line of the enemy. Let your spirits speak
(01:27):
louder than our flesh, and let our obedience be immediate.
God Father, some of us are standing at crossroads. We
don't know whether to go left or right, or say
yes or to say no. But you are not the
God of confusion. You are the God of clarity. You
are the God of peace. So we ask for a
divine direction. God whispered to us. Nudge us, redirect us,
(01:51):
even stop us if you must. Just don't let us
walk outside of your will for our lives. God, When
we're tempted to run ahead of you, teach us to
wait on you. When we feel paralyzed by fear. Teach
us to trust in you. When the path you lead
us on doesn't look like what we expected. Helped us
to remember that your ways are higher, your plans are greater,
(02:12):
and your purpose is eternal. Lord. If you don't go
with us, we don't want to go. If you're not
any God, we don't want it. We lay down our
own agendas. We surrender our dreams, our desires, and our
timelines at your feed, and make our hearts tender to
your leading. Help us not to lean on our own understanding,
but in all our ways acknowledge you, because God, you
(02:35):
will direct our path. God, we thank you for the
times you've already led us, For every door you've opened,
for every pit you pulled us out of that we
even got into by ourselves, For every know that protected us,
for every weight that matured us. You are the good shepherd,
and we trust you God to lead us. We trust
(02:55):
you God to guide us. So Father, order our steps,
Lead us day by day, not just into blessings, but
into purpose, not just into safety, but into growth. Lead
us through storms if that's what it takes to draw
us closer, Lead us through wilderness seasons, if that's where
you refine us. Just don't leave us alone. Lord, don't
(03:17):
take your hand off of us. And when we look
back days, weeks, or even years from now, let us
see your fingerprint all over our journey. Because when you lead, God,
we know we'll never be lost. We know that will prosper.
We know that we'll have success of God in the
mighty matchless name of Jesus Amen.
