and when you are on the right path, and also just when he hears you and when he sees you, and also when you hear him and when you see him, and for me to just start and have that conversation and then the hummingbirds come out of nowhere. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.040 Now, yes, I have a hummingbird feeder, so yes, I am attracting them. 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:27.839 However, in that moment when I was about to get very vulnerable, God gave me comfort, and for that I am I'm very thankful, you know. 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.399 Like I was saying, this journey is a journey for sure. 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.920 I've never been in this season, you know, I've never been unemployed. 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:54.959 And when I was uh going into the process of even just thinking about applying for short-term disability before I even did it, my original goal was to just take care of myself, focus on myself, and heal myself, right? 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:06.720 And then um literally the day after I applied for short-term, my role was eliminated at work, and so that wasn't a part of my plan, you know? 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:13.680 It wasn't a part of my plan to uh be without a job when my short-term disability ended. 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:25.600 My plan was to apply for FMLA, get approved, you know, apply for short-term, get approved, take the time that I needed to heal myself, and then come back to my job better. 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.160 And uh yeah, that's that's not the case. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:07:07.519 Um and in this environment and in this climate where there's just so much uncertainty, sometimes it is really hard to remain positive, and I do my best to you know remind myself that God is doing something, you know, He didn't allow for me to uh lose my position, right, and be in my role be eliminated for you know just to do that to me. 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:22.560 I believe that that was for a reason, and I do believe that it was because he has something much greater for me ahead, but it's still hard in this moment to not I guess it is trust that, right? 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.639 Like I guess it is hard in this moment to trust that that you know something greater is going to come. 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:41.120 And I I feel it's just hard, you know, like it is, it is hard, and I just know that I'm not alone in that feeling, you know. 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:53.680 I know that I'm not alone in being in just unfamiliar territory and not necessarily knowing what's gonna come next or what the next thing is going to look like or how it's going to sustain you and how it's going to provide for you. 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.720 In the midst of everything that is going on, the hummingbirds are back now. 00:07:58.800 --> 00:07:59.839 There's two of them. 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.759 Um, and it's scary. 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.680 It is, you know, it is scary. 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:04.959 I don't know. 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:21.600 And not knowing makes

you very uncomfortable, and I feel like I'm just in this season of being uncomfortable, and I'm doing my best to, you know, just remain faithful and believing that God did not bring me this far just to bring me this far. 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:34.240 And when I say that to you on the opposite side of the audio, please trust and believe that I am also saying that for myself, and it really is just a constant reminder for me that God did not bring me this far just to bring me this far. 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:42.720 And he's going to use all the experience and all the resources and all the trials and all the tribulations for my good. 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:47.759 And today, um, today is Sunday, uh, September 6th, right? 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:48.720 Yes. 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:54.000 Um, and I went up for prayer today. 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399 And typically when I go up for prayer, I don't know. 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:08.960 I think it's kind of it's like going up for prayer, it's like you want to tell them what it is that you need them to pray for, but it's also like such a vulnerable moment, and you kind of go up there and you freeze. 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.600 At least for me. 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:18.000 Whenever I go up for prayer, like I know that I want to be prayed for, and I know what I need, you know, where I need God. 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.679 But then when you go up there, it's like, ooh, do I ask for this or do like do I ask for like you know, like it's like you just want to seize the moment. 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.639 But today I went up and I just, you know, I was honest, and I think sometimes that's hard too. 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:39.279 It's 5 55 um as I look at the clock, and um, you know, sometimes it is hard to just be honest with where you are and just vulnerable. 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.440 And I went up and I just said, you know, hi, my name is Shayla. 00:09:43.759 --> 00:10:13.360 Um, right now I'm just unemployed, um, and I'm just searching for God to just, you know, give me his guidance and protection, you know, and his prayer was more so about peace than anything, and I really needed that because I feel like in this season I do and need peace, and when you have peace, the peace that God gives you is so silent. 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:30.480 The peace that God gives you is so silent in a way that you know that He is doing something, and I was really grateful for that, and it really touched me anytime that I go up for prayer. 00:10:30.559 --> 00:11:11.440 I'm always touched by what they say because I believe that you know the people that are in position to pray over people are you know they are prayer warriors, and I'm grateful anytime that I am able to be prayed over because I know that God is speaking through those people, and just for him to just ask God to just you know guide over me and protect me, but also just give me the peace of God during this season because having the peace will take away the worry, having the peace will take away the anxieties, having the peace will take away the fear, and for that I'm grateful because it is easy, it's so easy to get worried and to have fear and to be anxious. 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.279 But the Bible says, be anxious for nothing, right? 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:25.440 Be anxious for nothing, and I'm doing my best to remind myself of the words that are in the Bible during this season because that will be something that I can anchor myself with, you know. 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:42.480 And that is a reminder to you on the opposite side of the audio, whatever you are going through, try to do your best to anchor yourself um in this season and keep yourself grounded, and that is what I'm doing is just doing my best to keep myself grounded on Mondays. 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:47.279 I'm still uh participating in my grandma's prayer line, okay. 00:11:47.519 --> 00:12:25.919 Um, and yeah, I've been doing that for a very long time now, and I really enjoy it, and it's just so beautiful, and it also just makes you so grateful, and it humbles you in a way too, because I will join the prayer line, and like I told you guys before, I'm the youngest one on the line, and a lot of what they are praying for is for themselves because they are older, um, and so they're praying for their health, they're praying for their family's health, you know, they may be praying for their children, and it makes me very it it provides me with a lot of gratitude after, right? 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:51.039 Because you are listening to real life people asking for prayer for their real life situations, and you know, again, these are most I mean, they're all older than me, um, and you know, they're asking for God to heal them, whether it's from cancer, um, or diabetes, uh, there's some of them that are having surgery. 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:59.679 Um, there's his name is uh Apostle Pete, and I've heard of him since I started on the prayer line. 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:06.720 And if you are new here, um I've been joining the prayer line for over a year now, and I never heard his voice. 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:14.799 I never heard his voice because he was so sick, and so people were asking for prayer on his behalf and interceding on his behalf. 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.399 And last Monday, uh I hear this southern man talking. 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.200 I'm like, okay, we got a new person on the prayer line, okay. 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:42.320 Um, and then it came out that it was him, that it was apostle, and it was so nice to be able to hear his voice because I have been praying for him, not knowing who he is, you know, but I've just been praying for him as someone that is on the prayer line, that is seeking and needing God and being someone to pray on his behalf and to hear his voice. 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.960 It was really touching for me. 00:13:45.200 --> 00:14:32.240 Um, and I'm getting emotional talking about it, which is

interesting, but just to hear his voice was so nice because it reminds me, and it just gives me the faith and the peace to know that prayer changes things, and I'm always pouring into my friends and my family, and I always say that I always say prayer changes things because it does, and to know that we have been praying for him for so long and to hear his voice, it was so beautiful and it was so touching to me because it was affirming, you know, it was affirming to me that God hears us and that God sees us, and uh he was so thankful. 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:38.480 He was so thankful, he was thankful for all of us on the prayer line that had been praying for him all these months. 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.360 Um, you know, and he shared an update that he's doing better. 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:47.759 He's still, you know, struggling a little bit with his health, but you know, to God be the glory, he's doing better, and that was just so beautiful to me. 00:14:47.919 --> 00:15:21.279 And again, it just reminds me that you know God is close, you know, God is close, and I'm just going to continue to pray, and I'm going to continue to do my best, and I'm going to continue to be mindful, and I'm going to continue to be positive and speak life into myself and to speak life into my situation because I know that God will turn it all around for his good, and I know that he didn't bring me this far just to bring me this far, you know. 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:26.559 I know that I didn't move all the way out here to Vegas just for God to turn me around. 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:37.279 I don't believe that to be true, and I know that God didn't bless me in such a way to where, you know, he just didn't. 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.200 And I I know, I know, I know. 00:15:41.360 --> 00:16:17.200 And this is good for me to talk about this and get it out because I do come and I'm positive now, so I want to, you know, just kind of preface that I am positive now as well, but you know, to share in real time instead of you know, because I feel like sometimes when I come on the pod I'm talking to you on the opposite side of the audio, um, but to share where I am, um, you know, and it be something that I can hear myself in real time speak about, and it gives me faith, you know. 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:44.559 This podcast has always and will always be like my personal diary and my personal journal where I can come and share and release, and that has just been so beautiful for me, and I'm thankful that I have this opportunity and that God has given me a voice to use to not only free myself, right, but to help someone else, and I'm just thankful for that. 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:51.519 I'm so thankful for that, and I'm so thankful for you on the opposite side of the audio, whatever that you may be going through, you know. 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.000 I just want to um encourage you and let you know, you know. 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:32.880 I I posted on TikTok, you can go if you have

not already go follow me, uh Shayla Monet on TikTok, and I posted a video um just talking about the fact, you know, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, and that's something that I will always quote um because it is true, you know, whatever the weeping may be for you, yes, it you're gonna go through whatever it is that you're gonna go through, and it's not gonna be easy, and there's gonna be trials and there's gonna be tribulations, and there's gonna be ups, and there's gonna be downs, and there are gonna be times where you feel like you don't necessarily know what is next, and you don't know how you're gonna get out of something, you don't know how you're gonna pay something. 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:38.240 You don't you just don't know, like you literally just don't know, you don't know what's going to be next. 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:43.599 And that is excuse me, that is the season that I am in right now is I just don't know. 00:17:43.759 --> 00:18:00.240 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what this next season is going to be like, but I'm praying that it is going to be whatever it is that God has for me, you know, and I think sometimes we can go ahead of ourselves and try to make things happen before they're supposed to happen, and I don't want to do that. 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.000 I don't want to do that because I don't want to miss the blessing that God has for me. 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.400 And when you go ahead of God, you miss the blessing, and I don't want to miss my blessing. 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:10.079 I've worked really hard, okay? 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:17.039 I've been praying really hard, and I want that, you know, and it's um it's in the Bible. 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.160 I can't think of the verse, and y'all know I cannot think of the verse. 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.680 I I that that's the thing about me. 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.599 I go quote some scripture, okay? 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.559 But can I tell you the scripture, Bert? 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.119 No. 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.759 Um, but it is in the Bible. 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:39.599 There's a verse that says, I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, and I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, and I am seeing the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:48.559 And I think sometimes when we are praying, I know for me, when I am praying, I do my very best to remember that I am living in answered prayers right now. 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.640 Yes, I am praying for things to happen. 00:18:50.720 --> 00:19:19.519 Yes, I'm praying for my uh, you know, for a career opportunity, whether that is the podcast, you know, continuing to grow and expand, and you know, I however that looks, um, or if that is somewhere in social media, or if that is not going back, but finding new avenues to use my you know experience with operations and people leadership. 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:36.160 Um, so I know that God is doing something because I know that I know for a fact that He is placing so many new things inside of my heart, inside of my brain, um, you know, and inside just around me that I know that he's doing something. 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:37.920 Now, what is he doing? 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.960 I don't know. 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:43.279 Um, but I know that he's doing something, and for that I'm grateful, you know. 00:19:43.680 --> 00:20:00.960 I don't know when it's going to manifest and I'm going to be able to physically see um and you know when my prayers are going to be answered in that way, but I do believe that God is answering my prayers right now because even in the midst of all of it, he is still good. 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:12.400 He is still good, you know, he is still doing and showing up for me and providing for me and making ways out of no way, you know, and for that I'm grateful. 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:19.279 I have a roof over my head, I have food on the table, and I have clothes on my back, and I'm thankful, you know. 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:41.359 I I I'm grateful because I know that that is not um that is not the that's not that's not what everybody is experiencing right now, you know, and even in the midst of unemployment and even in the midst of searching and even in the midst of praying, you know, I can still just put my hands up and say thank you, God. 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.279 And for that, I'm you know, I I'm always filled with gratitude. 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:52.960 You guys know that gratitude is the best attitude, and when you can just say thank you, just you know, just thank God for where you are. 00:20:53.200 --> 00:21:18.880 No, I'm not where I want to be right now, and you know, I can't do the some of the things that I used to do, you know, and it's an adjustment for sure because I'm used to you know just being able to do a little bit more um for myself, and right now I think that this is also a season of learning self-control, and that was the sermon topic today. 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:51.440 Um, was the fruit of the spirit, and he really focused on self-control, and that is something that I need to work on, and so I feel like God is definitely showing me self-control in this season, and so I'm I'm doing my best to take everything that I'm going through as a learning lesson because if I can take it as a learning lesson, then I know that God is going to present something, He's going to teach me something in this season, and I'm grateful for that, you know. 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:59.440 I'm grateful to be able to learn from this season, um, so that way I can take what I've learned into the next one, you know. 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.759 So, yeah. 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:02.960 Yeah. 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.799 That was good. 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.799 That was good. 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.480 But overall, I'm doing pretty good. 00:22:11.359 -->

00:22:17.599 And that's what I need to, and I will, and I'm doing, is just reminding myself that I'm okay. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.480 And like I told you guys before, everything is okay. 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:21.119 Because it is. 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:22.079 Everything is okay. 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.759 God is doing something. 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:34.160 And as long as we can remember that in the midst of the in-between, in the midst of whatever it is that you may be going through, know that he is doing something. 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.400 You may not know it yet. 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.319 But trust and believe that God is always on time. 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:47.440 If you haven't already, make sure that you follow me on Instagram at landed pod l-a-n-d-ed-p-o-d. 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.640 That's where you can find me. 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:50.000 That's where I will be. 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:54.880 And you can also follow me at Shayla Monet on YouTube and TikTok. 00:22:54.960 --> 00:23:00.559 And go and watch that video that I posted about Weeping May Endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.680 And share it with your friends and with your family. 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.799 And share this episode. 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.480 Share these podcast episodes. 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.400 If they are touching you, if you are getting gems from them, share them. 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:17.680 You know, that is the whole point is to share and create community because God is not just doing something in me, He is doing something in you. 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.240 Therefore, He is doing something in everyone. 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:21.200 He is. 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.559 And I was having this conversation earlier today. 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.559 That there is something going on everywhere. 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:35.759 Like I was late to church this morning, and I was literally like, church is already happening. 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.559 Like they're already in there worshiping, you know, like past the Walmart. 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.880 They're in there in the Walmart, shopping, right?

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:14.400 Of self-control, of just sharing goodness into the world and showing people that there are still good people in this world because a lot of people don't think that because of what they are seeing. 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:20.799 And so just remembering, right, to always be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:37.599 And the best way that you can show up right now in this season, in this climate of the world, is to be a good person, is to be kind, and is to live a life that you can say, Yes, yes, I was a good person. 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.880 Yes, I was, you know, I did my best to be the person that God called me to be. 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.119 And every day that is what I'm striving for. 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.440 Every day I am making progress to create the life that I want to live for myself. 00:24:49.599 --> 00:25:01.839 And the life that I personally want to live for myself is a life where people can look at me, or people can when people talk about me, they can say, I saw I saw a little bit of God in her. 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.240 I saw a little bit of God in her. 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.559 Has been downloaded and listened to, and for that I am so thankful. 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:56.240 I am so thankful to each and every one of you on the opposite side of the audio that continues to land with me. 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.759 I really am so thankful for you, and I am praying for you. 00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:07.519 I don't know your situation, I may not know your name, but please know that you are in my thoughts, and I'm just so thankful that you are a part of this community with me. 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.359 Oh, the hummingbirds are back. 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:14.000 Can you guys hear that? 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.799 They've been coming back, but they don't always make noise. 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.240 But yeah. 00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:27.039 God is so good, and I know that he's doing something, and I know that what is for me is finding me. 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.240 Okay, let's go back to affirmations. 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.440 Uh, the story of Noah, and I teach preschool now. 00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:40.000 Remember the importance, and if you are new here, that's a podcast episode. 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:48.240 Uh, that you can go back and listen, and I shared all uh I think all all of the podcast, excuse me, all the can I speak? 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:48.799 No. 00:27:49.759 --> 00:28:00.240 I shared all of the affirmations that were once on my mirror because at one point in time there was a time where I needed daily affirmations, um, which I still do. 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:05.680 Now I listen to them every morning, um, but before I needed to see them. 00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.160 And can you guys hear that? 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.359 The hummingbirds are back, all three of them. 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:19.039 And you may be new here and you're like, what is her thing with the hummingbirds? 00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:27.759 Well, I associate hummingbirds with my brother and my dad and my nana. 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:33.920 And I just I believe that hummingbirds just have like a an angel spirit in them. 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.119 And they're flying close again. 00:28:37.680 -->

00:28:39.759 Um, and yeah. 00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:49.599 So I always I just get very happy when they come because yeah, it's like they're coming to visit me. 00:28:50.319 --> 00:29:06.400 And I know that angels they present themselves in a lot of different ways, but angels present themselves in birds a lot of the times, um, and in just animals in general, and so I associate birds um with my angels. 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.480 And yes, I said three names, but they could be literally anyone. 00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:26.319 They could be my Aunt Nita, they could be my Uncle Raymond, they could be my Uncle Robert, they could be family friends that have passed on that are visiting me, and it's just a constant reminder that I am never alone, one, um, and my angels are always around. 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:28.240 So, yeah. 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:40.160 But positive affirmations are also very helpful because they help to wire the mind to think positively versus negatively, and in a season where I am, right? 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:46.400 Or you may be in a similar season, or you just may be in a season where you need positivity, affirmations are just very helpful. 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.359 Um, and so you can go back and listen to that. 00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:54.400 Um, and yeah, also you can go to my YouTube, Shayla Monet. 00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:01.039 I had went to a sound bath at my gym, which I love that my gym does um sound healing. 00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:05.440 Um, and sound healing is just another form of meditation through sound. 00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:08.960 Um, and it also is very therapeutic as well in healing for the body. 00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:18.720 Um, and they use sound bowls and um other instruments as well, and I recorded it and posted it onto my YouTube for you so you can go and listen to that. 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:24.480 I've been listening to it every night to go to sleep, and it has just been so calming to my soul. 00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:33.759 So, those are some of the things that I've been using as tools that I have added to my toolbox over time to help me when I am in high stress situations. 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:40.559 Um, because if you don't know and you are new here, your girl does have PTSD as well as anxiety and depression. 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:51.200 Um, however, those things are, you know, those are not those are situations that I am working through. 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.440 They do not own me, I own them. 00:30:53.599 --> 00:31:06.400 Um, however, I do know that they are there, and I think that's important to also just acknowledge is that they're there, they may not impact or affect you in the way that they may have in the past, but just being, you know, mindful of that. 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:21.440 Um, and so yeah, while I know that those things are there and that you know I could be triggered or you know, situations like not knowing how you're gonna pay something, or you know, like being unemployed and all these things that can cause stress. 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:26.079 Um, and so I do um, you know, I use those tools. 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.400 Yo yoga is extremely helpful. 00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:37.440 Um, I've been practicing yoga a lot more just for mindful practices to still my mind um and to just continue to, you know, find that peace. 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.480 So that prayer today was really on point. 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.319 And so yeah. 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:46.720 Uh before I go, I want to pray for you on the opposite side of the audio. 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:48.240 Let's do it. 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.680 Dear God, I just want to say thank you. 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.599 Thank you for all that you are and all that you do, even in the midst of the unknown. 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.119 We give you all the glory, all the honor, all the praise because we are never alone when we have you. 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:15.440 God, I want to pray for the person on the opposite side of the audio for you to know exactly where they are for what they need and where they stand in this moment. 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.079 God, I ask that you please place your hands over them. 00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:23.920 Place your hand over their heart, place their hand over their mind, place their hand over their body, wherever they may need healing. 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:25.920 God, I ask that you please heal them, Lord. 00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:32.640 That you place your hand over them and that they feel your presence, God, that they feel your might, that they feel your strength, God. 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:34.960 Give them strength where they are weak, Lord. 00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:39.200 Give them hope where they may be hopeless, and give them peace, God. 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:49.359 God, we ask that you just make ways out of no way, Lord, and remind us that you can do all things and that we can do all things that through Christ that gives us strength. 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:55.759 God, I ask that wherever they are in this season of their life, Lord, that you place your hand there, God. 00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.480 That you do what only you can do. 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:03.519 Lord, I thank you for their life, and I thank you for their wisdom. 00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:23.759 God, if they have children who whomever may be on the opposite side of the audio, God, I ask that you please God over the kids as they go into this new week of school, God, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, no school shootings, no bullying, none of that, God, that they go into this school year as it's just started with a full mind of who you are. 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.119 God, I pray that your children speak life, life over themselves and life over others, God. 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:34.640 May they be intercessors, and may they see positivity and joy, and may they radiate that, God. 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:50.880 I pray for those that are grieving, those that are in bereavement, and I ask that you put your arms over them and you give them strength and courage and just solitude during this time and remind us, Lord, that to be absent from the body is to be present from the Lord, that they are in the best place that they can be. 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:56.880 And while it is hard that they are not here with us, it just reminds us that they are there with you, and I'm thankful for that. 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.279 I ask that you just, you know, do what only you can do. 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.119 Do what only you can do because we can't do anything on our own. 00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:06.960 We can't do anything on our own. 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.880 Everything that we do is with you, and I just thank you for always being there for us. 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:16.719 I thank you that even in the times where you know it it may not feel like it, you are there. 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:24.480 And I thank you that you have gone before us, that you've already gone into this week before we've even stepped into another day in this week. 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:31.920 And I thank you that you're guiding over us, that you're protecting us in our comings and our goings in the car, on the bus, on the train, in the plane. 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.960 God, I thank you. 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:39.280 I thank you for our families, I thank you for our friends, and I thank you for our lives, God, that you continue to wake us up every morning. 00:34:39.440

person on the opposite side of the audio, that they may see you, that they may see you, and that they may seek you, God. 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:56.719 In your name we pray. 00:34:57.039 -->

friend. 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:36.800 Know and remember that you are doing your best, and your best is all that God asks for. 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.519 Period. 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:49.280 As
