1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: Be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: supplication with thanksgiving, Let your requests be made known unto

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: God Philippians four six. Dear God, as we come before

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: you today, and we confess that at times we allow

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: worry and fear to consume us, and we ask for

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: your forgiveness and grace. Help us to trust in your

7
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: love and goodness, knowing that you will provide for all

8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: our needs according to your riches. In Christ, Jesus, May

9
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: we turn to you in prayer and supplication, giving thanks

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: for all that you have done and all that you

11
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: will do in our lives. When anxiety mounts and seeks

12
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: to steal away our peace in you, we pray that

13
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: you would move swiftly to defend us. In Jesus's name. Amen,

14
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me in prayer. Stay tuned for

15
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,840

Speaker 1: can draw close to God and find strength in him.

17
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,759

21
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: what if you need to see a doctor now, but

22
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: you can't get in, or the pharmacy runs out of

23
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: medicine like during COVID, or you're traveling and you can't

24
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: find care. That's why world renowned doctors created the Medical

Speaker 3: Our goal for today's Meditative Prayer again is to fight anxiety.

39
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: So take a minute to just unwind. Look for an

40
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: enjoyable place and maybe a position that will allow you

41
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: to relax and now focus on this time, right now

42
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: with God. Allow your mind to drift towards the throne

43
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: of the Lord and to be filled with His word.

44
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: Today will be meditating on Philippians chapter four, verse six,

45
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: from the King James version, it reads, be careful or

46
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: with thanksgiving, Let your request be made known unto God.

48
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: Let your worship rise up to God. Right now, I

49
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: exalt you, Lord, for yours is the greatness, in the power,

50
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: the glory, the victory, in the majesty. For all that

51
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: is in the heavens and the earth belong to you.

52
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: Yours is the kingdom. O Lord, you are exalted as

53
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: head above all. God has given you a mighty tool

54
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: against anxiety. That tool prayer. As powerful as prayer is,

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: it's benefit can only be reached through participation. This can

56
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: be challenging. Daily concerns will try to stifle your desire

57
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: for God, and anxiety, left unchecked will cripple your ability

58
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: for gratitude. Being thankful under stress might be strenuous, but

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: you must prevail. Perhaps you currently find yourself in such

60
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: a situation. Maybe anxieties try to corrupt your heart and

61
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 3: consume your thoughts, and this is your chance to pray

62
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: and ask God for his forgiveness and his help. Confess

63
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: to Him those areas of worry and weakness. Share with

64
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit your cares and concerns. God is not

65
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: expecting perfection from you, just for you to try your best.

66
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: So open yourself to God's love and pour out all

67
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: that is weighing heavy on your heart. Now consider all

68
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: the times God heard your prayers and thank him for it.

69
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: Thank the Lord for the opportunity to even reach out

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: to him, to lay your fears and frustrations at his feet.

71
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: Thank God for his interest in your well being, for

72
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: wanting to take care of you. Thank Jesus for his

73
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: sacrifice which opened the way for you. Thank Him for

74
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: his blessed assurance that he will always be accessible to you.

75
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: Thank the Holy Spirit for enabling you to overcome all

76
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: worries and concerns, and thank him for interceding for you.

77
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: For presenting your prayers before God. Never forget God is

78
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: present and he's listening to you. Come before Him with

79
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: thanksgiving in your heart. And make your requests known to him.

80
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: Plead your case before God and tell him what's bothering you.

81
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: Ask Him to help you let go of the anxiety

82
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: festering in your heart. Ask Jesus for the ability to

83
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: rely on his word for your peace, a peace that

84
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: surpasses all understanding. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you

85
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: to have control over your thoughts and over your emotions.

86
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 3: Ask him to teach you gratefulness in all seasons of life,

87
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: for the ability to apply that gratitude. And all prayers

88
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: and supplications offered unto God. Remember the Bible says you

89
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: are not to worry. Instead, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,

90
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 3: you are to make your request known to God. So

91
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: set aside all anxiety, all fear, and all doubt and

92
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: choose this day to be thankful, to present yourself before

93
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: God's thrown, and to ask for his grace. God is

94
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: on your side, He wants to hear you, he wants

95
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: to bless you. So be bold and be brave and

96
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: reach out today to receive his peace for your life.

97
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: My friends, thank you for completing today's meditative prayer on
