Episode Transcript

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 alongside me in prayer. And on today,
I want to pray about our hearts. You know, it's
so easy when life is lifing and people are people,
and if I'll be honest, that we allow bitterness and

(00:21):
unforgiveness to get into our hearts. So I want to
pray against allowing that poison to get into our heart.
Heavenly Father, we come before you today with open hearts,
acknowledging that life brings voices and opinions that try to wound, belittle,
and discourage us. Lord, you see the whispers behind our backs,
the words spoken to break us, the lies designed to

(00:44):
crush our spirit. But today we declare that we will
not let that poison in. Father, you are the one
who defines us, not the critics, not the haters, not
those who misunderstand us. You've called us chosen, beloved, rich, deemed,
and set apart. Remind us every day that no matter
what others may say, our identity rests safely in You, Lord.

(01:08):
When words of rejection try to echo in our minds,
let the louder sound of your promise, rise up, promises
of victory, Promises of purpose and favor, and a future
filled with hope. God, we lift to you every wound
caused by harsh words, every betrayal, every act of jealousy
or envy that has come against us. God, we release

(01:31):
it into your hands. We refuse to carry the weight
of bitterness. We choose forgiveness because we know that unforgiveness
is poison to the soul. Lord, heal the places in
us that still ache. Replace the sting of rejection with
the sweetness of your love. Father.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
We pray for strength to.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Focus on the path that you set before us. Teach
us not to waste time fighting battles. You never ask
us to fight us. To silence the need to defend ourselves,
and instead rest in the assurance that you are our vindicator.
Your word declares that those who hate us will be
clothed with shame. So we trust you to deal with

(02:15):
every false tongue, every unfair attack, every hidden plot against us. Lord,
as we run our race, keep us standing, keep us
diligent and doing good even when it goes unnoticed.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Keep us humbling.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Moments of success and gracious when we are wronged, God,
our hearts from being a harm, and let us be
known not for retaliation, but by love, by patience, and
by peace. We ask for fresh joy God, the kind
that cannot be shaken by criticism or negativity. Let your
spirit fill us with courage, so that no matter what

(02:50):
rises against us, we will stand tall, unshaken, knowing the
God of Heaven fights for us. And finally, Lord, we
pray for those that have set themselves in against us.
Touch their hearts, God, open their eyes and bring.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Healing to their brokenness.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
But we know that hurt people hurt people, and it's
only your grace that can transform them. Father, thank you
that you.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Are our shield, our defender, and the keeper of our hearts.
Today we choose peace over poison, joy over bitterness, and
faith over fear. We believe that as we keep our
eyes on you, you will lift us higher.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
You'll protect our name and bring us into the destiny
You've already prepared in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus.
We pray and we say Amen, Amen, Amen,
