Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
go to God in prayer. And as always I invite
you to join along with me in prayer. And this
morning I want to pray just about walking in God's purpose. Heavely, Father,
in the name of Jesus, we come before you today
(00:20):
with hearts open and hands lifted up to you, asking
you to align our lives with the divine purpose You
created us for God, before we were formed in our
mother's womb. You knew us before we took our first breath.
You had already ridden our destiny. Lord, you placed purpose
within us, something holy, something eternal, something that gives meaning
(00:44):
to every step we take. But sometimes Father, life gets loud, distractions,
doubts and detours try to drown out your voice. God,
We chase after plans that please people, instead of pursuing
the path that pleases you. Yet even in our wondering,
you are patient with us. Even when we drift, you
(01:05):
gently call us back to the reason we were created.
We were created to glorify You with every breath and
to fulfill the assignment that You've placed in our hands.
So today God, we surrender. We surrender our agenda for yours.
We lay down every fear that whispers we're not enough.
We release every failure that tries to disqualify us, and
(01:28):
we're declared by faith, Your purpose for our lives will stand. God,
give us clarity where there's confusion, Give us courage where
there's hesitation. Help us to see that our purpose isn't
about being recognized, but it's about being obedient to you.
It's not about perfection, but it's about surrender. Let us
(01:51):
be willing vessels, ready to move when you say move,
ready to speak when you say speak, Ready to stand
firm when others walk away. Father, remind us that purpose
is not always easy, but it's always worth it. There
will be days of waiting, there will be nights of wondering.
But even then, God, you are working. You are shaping
(02:13):
us through the struggle. You're developing us through the delay,
and you're preparing us through the pressure. You are molding
us into vessels fit for your glory. Lord. We don't
want to just exist. We want to live in the
fullness of why you made us. Let our lives inpack
the world, the nation, our families. God, Let our words
(02:36):
bring healing, Let our gifts build your Kingdom and let
every moment point back to you and give you glory.
Help us to remember that purpose is not a destination.
It's a daily decision to walk with you. It's a
daily decision to trust you. It's a daily decision to
obey you. Even when we don't understand the plan. Help
(02:59):
us to trust the one who designed it. God. When
we grow weary, remind us that you finish what you start,
what you began, and us you will bring to completion.
Your promises are yes an amen. Your timing is perfect,
your calling issure. So today Father, we say yes again.
(03:20):
Yes to your view, Yes to your way, Yes to
the purpose that you've placed on the inside of us.
Let your spirit lead us
