the Lord, and I want everybody to know He's just
one prayer way. So today, God strengthened me in all
of my endeavors. Give me the power to not say
anything that I don't mean to say, not do anything
that I don't want to do according to your will, God,
even when it's not going my way. Giving me the
power to turn to You so that I may ask
for your strength and your power, because you are able
(01:14):
to keep us. It's a difficult world out there. We're
experiencing difficult circumstances. Right now. We're experiencing all sorts of
upheaval from Washington to the places where we live, and
all throughout the streets that we drive up and down
day in and day out. We never know when things
are going to be shut down, shut out, shut in,
or shut up. But we know God that you're able
(01:34):
to open up the windows of heaven and provide for
your people according to your will. So now it is
unto you that we ask for the strength to do
exceedingly and abundantly above anything we think or ask, and
to keep us in all of your ways. This is
our prayer, and we ask it in the name of
the only Wise God, our Savior, through our Lord and Savior,
(01:56):
