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 me. It's labor day. Let's pray, y'all,
Heavenly Father, on this labor day, we give you thanks
for the gift of work. We thank you for the

(00:20):
strength and our bodies, the creativity and our minds, and
the skills you've placed in our hands. Lord, your word
reminds us in Colossians three twenty three that whatever we do,
we are to work at it with all our heart,
as working for you and not for man. Today, God,
we lift up every person who rises early, every person

(00:41):
who works diligently, and every person who sacrifices daily to
provide for their families and their communities. Lord, we recognize

rest to You Today. Lord, Let this Labor Day not

our hearts, and our lives to service to you and
daily God. As we work, we do it as unto you.
