So with that, I truly am honored and so grateful for each and every one of you. It means so much to be able to say because of my listeners, I'm able to be monetized, I have commercials on. I'm so honored, grateful, I'm humbled. It means so much to me and to all of us here in the studio. We are so thankful for every one of your lives and I truly pray that when you're listening, god is shifting things in your life financially, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We all are on this journey together, and without God it's impossible to make it through. But with God all things are possible and we're so grateful to have such a guiding light in our lives. We thank God for Jesus, for just dying on the cross for us so we can stand to say God is good, god is merciful, god is forgiving. This week I want to say a prayer, and every week I want to say a prayer, but this week, in my spirit, I feel the need to pray for hope. We need our hope back because things in life are happening around us, to us, to our family members, on our jobs, on just driving down the street in grocery stores, just where we are overseas. The war is happening, things are happening, people are dying and, of course, people are being born. Things, mighty things, are happening, and sometimes we can look at it as it being a punishment from God? Or how could all of these bad things happen and only had one good thing? It's so easy for us to lose hope or to focus on all the negative, so we think negative things are happening and, honestly, all things work together for the good of those that are calling to God's purpose. Yes, you may have lost someone, but things are happening where God is pleased with them and he's called them to glory In that. Yes, pain comes, disappointment comes, uncertainty comes, but that's where growth is, that's where God can use you in those quiet moments, in the unsure times. That's where our hope and faith are the most elevated is during those times. We don't have control anymore. So I want to pray that God blesses us with hope again, that there's something in us that says though he slay me, yet will I trust him. That's in Joe, joe 13 and 15. Though he slay me, yet will I trust him. So we want to stay in the presence of God, knowing that, even if it doesn't happen, when I want something to happen, I want this thing to happen. I don't want to lose anyone, I don't want to lose my job, I don't want my children. We have our own outlook on how we want life to go and God has already mapped out our entire life as we're walking in it. He's already mapped out our entire life and there are those that aren't going to make the journey with you because they are already finished with their journey. Yes, I do believe that God will give us long life when we pray for longevity, but there is a time where we have to accept that everyone isn't going to make it every step of the way on our journey, because their journey has ended. I want you to know that you can still have hope in God. You can still have trust in God, because Joe may have said though he slay me yet, will I trust him? Will I trust him? But if you continue to read Job story, god turned around and gave him double for the troll that he went through. So, yeah, you may lose one or two people, but God can turn around and give you double that as long as you keep your trust, faith and hope in him. So I want to encourage you during this season, during this holiday season, we are going to pray that God give strength, hope, peace, comfort, and he takes away the fear and turns it into faith. So we're going to ask that you get in the mindset of prayer, worship, trust If you have to pull over, if you have to get in your closet, but in this season is just not for One of us. But the nation needs hope back. The nation needs their faith back. The nation needs trust in God back in spite of us. And we need to know that God is not punishing us when bad things happen. He just needs us to shift our perspective while things are happening. So with that, we are going to pray together while trusting the will of God. Oh heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you with hearts filled with hope. We seek your presence and ask that you reveal yourself to us in a profound way, god, increase our faithfulness, oh Lord, and help us understand that, amongst the trials and challenges, you are not punishing us, but preparing us for something greater. As we navigate through difficult times, god, remind us that not everyone can accompany us on the journey you have planned for us. Grant us the wisdom to discern the people and places that need to be removed from our lives as you align us with your divine purpose. God, we thank you. In the midst of our sorrows and losses, we choose to glorify your name, knowing that death is not the end but a gateway to eternal life. With you, help us to find solace and peace in the knowledge that you are with us, guiding us through every storm, every trial, every tribulation. We reflect on the words of Job 13 and 15, which says though he slay me, yet will I trust him. Lord, in the face of adversity, we choose to trust your unwavering love. Strengthen our faith and grant us the assurance that you are working all things together for our good, according to your purpose. May your light shine brightly in our lives, illuminating the path ahead and filling us with hope. We surrender our lives, we surrender ourselves to your will, placing our trust in your unfailing love. Lord, we bless your name, we honor you with your love. It's your name. We honor you, we glorify you. Take everything out of us that's not like you, god, and give us the strength to stand on your word and walk the way that you would call us to walk and be who you called us to be. And we ask all of these things in your son, jesus' name. Amen and amen. Glory to God. We seek your face, god, like never before, trusting your will. Thank you for purpose, thank you for drive. Thank you for deliverance. We love you, lord. We love you Amen. Amen, I pray. I truly pray that this prayer help bless and gave you some comfort. I pray that this week, this month, this season turns out to be the best time for us, turns out to be the best season when you look back at it. But while you're in it and all that you do, please don't forget to glorify God, amen.
