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. You know,
I think about life is lifing for many of us,
and it's so easy to want to quit. It's so
easy to want to throw in the towel, to lead,
to go get a bottle of look and never return.
(00:21):
I want to pray for those individuals that are on
the verge of giving up. Heaarily, Father, in the name
of Jesus Christ, we come before you today, standing in
the gap for the one who feels like they're at
the end of their rope. Lord, you see your son,
You see your daughter who is just exhausted, overwhelmed, discouraged
and wondering if they can take another step. You see
(00:43):
the tears they cry in silence, the battle no one
knows about, and the weight they've carried alone for far
too long. Father, somebody listening today is on the verge
of giving up. Somebody is ready to give up on
their marriage because communication is broken down and love feels
so distant. Somebody is ready to give up on their
(01:07):
children because the path their children are on right now
is breaking their heart. Somebody is ready to give up
on their health journey because the diagnosis feels too heavy
and the healing seems so far away. Somebody is ready
to give up their financial situation because the bills stack
higher than the hope they feel. Somebody is ready to
(01:29):
give up on their dreams because every door keeps closing
in their face. Somebody is ready to give up on
life itself because the pain feels unbearable. But God, you
are the lifter of every bow down head. And today, Lord,
we speak strength, we speak courage, We speak life back
(01:51):
into every weary. So remind them everyone right now, God,
that's giving up, that this is not the end of
their story, because you are still writing their story. Remind
them God that the same God who carried them before
will carry them now. Remind them that even when they
(02:11):
feel empty, you are the God who feels, who restores,
who renews, and who revives. Lord, breathe fresh wind into
the tired hearts. Breathe the fresh hope and to discourage spirits.
Let them feel your presence wrapping around them like a
blanket of peace. Let them know that you are near
(02:31):
to the broken hearted, that you save those crushed in spirit.
Give them strength to fight one more day. God, faiths
to take one more step. Peace to rest in your
arms instead of their feet, hope to believe that their
story is an over God speaking to their spirit today,
you may feel like giving up, but I'm not finished.
(02:54):
Hold on, I'm with you, Lord. Surround them with encouragements,
Surround them with support, Surround them with the reminders of
your love. God stirs something on the inside of them
that says, I will not quit, I will not give up.
God is with me, and I will rise again. Father,
thank you for the strength that's returning even right now,
(03:17):
the hope that's rising, the faith that's igniting, and the
peace that is settling right now in their souls. In
Jesus' name, we pray, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
