Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good morning. Thank you for joining us this morning. I
pray that you would just kind of pause for just
a moment as we go to the Lord this morning,
if you would for me, at some point during this prayer,
I will ask that you just lift up your hands
as we pray to the Lord who can take away

(00:43):
all of our burdens, all of our problems, and replace
them with so much more. Pray with me this morning,
if you will, Dear Lord, we come to you right
now in the wonderful and holy name of Jesus Christ.
And Lord, we thank you for the gift of another day. Lord,
help us to not take it for granted, but to

(01:04):
know that there are only so many days that we
have upon this earth. We need to pause this morning
and just give you praise, honor, and glory for the
life that you have given us. Lord. This morning, as
we raise our hands, we surrender Lord this morning, all
of our sin, all of our transgressions, all of the

(01:27):
things Lord that stand between you and ourselves. Lord, we
lift up all of our burdens, all of our fears,
all of our anxiety and worry, all of our hang
ups and habits Lord that might hinder our lives. Lord,
we surrender all of our insecurities that may be holding
us back because your holy words, Lord says that we

(01:51):
can cast all of our cares upon you because you
care about us. And Lord, this morning, as we slowly
pull our hands back down towards our heart, let us
be reminded, Lord that you offer us forgiveness this morning
of all of our sin and transgressions. And we thank
you for that. We thank you, Lord that you will

(02:14):
guard and keep our hearts, our minds, and our souls
today through Christ Jesus, Lord, we thank you for your
courage and your strength. We thank you for your wisdom,
your discernment, your confidence that you give us. Lord. We
thank you for your grace and mercy this morning that
only flows to us through Jesus Christ. Lord, we want

(02:36):
to pray this morning over our families. Lord, we know
that this podcast, in this prayer this morning, goes out
around the world, not just to our own family here
at sunrise. So Lord, we pray over every family, Lord,
that you would be with the relationships in those families,
that you would heal any wounds that are in those families,

(02:58):
That you would encourage those who draw strength from each
other through their families but Lord, we also pray this
morning for the universal Church as a family, not only
for our own personal family or churches, but those that
are around the world. And Lord, this morning we only

(03:20):
ask that you keep us in the right position to
realize your purpose as we daily rely upon your promises. Lord,
we pray this morning over the condition of the world.
We know Father that there are many things that need
to be healed, many situations, many people's hearts that need
to be healed. But Lord, we want to thank you

(03:41):
that there is healing through your son Jesus Christ. So Lord,
I want to pray this morning over every health issue
that might be going on in a person's life. Right now. Lord,
as we put our hands upon our hearts and our
minds and our souls, I want you to heal the mind,
heal the hearts, heal any infirmities that are going on

(04:05):
within the body. Heal us Lord from the inside out.
That we will know. It's not our own strength and
not even doctors, but it is by your mighty hand
that any disease and sickness must flee us. This morning, Lord,
as we walk through this world, let us walk in
spirit and truth. Father, give us spiritual eyesight to see

(04:27):
what's really going on in our world. It's not what
we see in our physical eyes. There's so much more
to it. Open up the spiritual eyes, the spiritual ears
of every believer, that we may see that You're coming
is soon. But y also give us spiritual speech to
speak those things Lord, that need to be spoken with boldness, confidence,

(04:52):
but always in love. Lord, we ask these things today
simply because you have made a way where there seems
to be no way. You have made a way for
us to not only spend eternity with you, but to
have bold access to your throne of grace. And that's
where we come this morning, laying all our burdens before you,

(05:15):
picking up all the peace that is available to us.
Let us stop, pause and enjoy, for this day will
truly never come again. And Lord, we ask these things
today in Jesus Holy and wonderful name. Amen. Today you
be safe, you be strong, and you be blessed. Have

(05:37):
a great day.
