Priscilla Shirer: The Importance of Finding Your Identity in Christ
when you keep your eyes focused on the
character of God when you refuse to
allow yourself to question who God is
you can ask questions of God without
questioning God do you see the
difference in the little Nuance there
ask your questions I’ve got mine I’m
sure you’ve got yours but you and I can
ask questions about our situation and
about all of these multitudes that we
are facing without questioning the
character of God keep your eyes on
[Music]
Jesus Lord I thank you I thank you that
your word is living active sharper than
any two-edged sword Lord I pray that in
these next few moments you would do what
you do take these simple thoughts drill
them deeply down into our souls make us
different after we hear your voice today
in Jesus name I pray amen amen my niece
is name is Caris we’ve called her Care
Bear since the day that she was born I
you know she’s a grown woman with
children now and I still call her Care
Bear uh but Caris when she was little I
remember on this one occasion she was at
my parents house so her grandparents
house we were all there hanging out and
she was running around in the backyard
and this stray dog came out of nowhere
the dog was barking and in her mind this
dog was incredibly vicious and was
getting ready to attack her we were a
little bit older so we could see that
the dog really wasn’t that big and the
dog really wasn’t going to do any damage
he was probably just hyper and active
and excited to see some humans in the
backyard that day but to Caris at 3
years old really small that dog looked
vicious and so she was running away from
this dog in Terror now you know the more
you run the more the dog thinks you want
to play so the dog is chasing her and
chasing her more frantically and more
feverishly and barking more loudly and
the more all of that escalated the more
fear was rre in kris’s heart so she ran
she ran and my dad her grandfather saw
the chaos outside walked outside onto
the back patio opened up his arms so
that Caris would be able to run directly
into his arms so she ran as fast as she
could ran directly into his arms and he
scooped her up and once he scooped her
up she was now high above the ground
level where the dog was she looked down
at the dog looked back into the face of
her grandfather look back back down at
the dog looked back up into the face of
her grandfather over and over again
tears streaming down her face finally
she was able to compose herself and wipe
them away as the dog continued to bark
and she looked down at the dog finally
and
said because now everything changed cuz
she was in her father’s arms and she was
looking into her grandfather’s face
Everything Changes based on what you are
looking at
that’s the challenge I have for you
today what are you looking at cuz listen
there’s so much to see when you scroll
past your uh Twitter feed when you
scroll through your Instagram feed when
you watch the news whatever Channel you
tend to watch no matter where you are
your vision is centered you’re going to
see and look at things that are vying
for our attention and some of those
things when we give them our attention
they cause discouragement to settle in
on us I mean you can literally feel it
the anxiety like a cloak weighing you
down burdening you keeping you up at
night making the tears fall from your
eyes if you look at your problems too
long in your personal life or the
struggles that we’re facing collectively
in our culture and in our world if you
look at them too long they’re going to
make the tears flow from your eyes
they’re going to make your heart
palpitate they’re going to keep you from
being able to have a sense of stability
emotionally and mentally in your life so
I ask you again what are you looking at
what are you giving your attention to
doesn’t mean avoidance doesn’t mean
denial it doesn’t mean awareness of the
realities that you are facing in your
relationships or in dynamics that we are
facing culturally it doesn’t mean you’re
not aware it just means that you give
not just the same amount of attention
but you give an escalated prioritized
amount of attention that you are looking
at who your God is the promises that he
has has declared and his truth as he has
written it down in his word I’m asking
you where have you been looking what
have you been giving your attention to
maybe so much of the struggles that
we’ve had to have a sense of peace and
stability and ease is because we’ve been
fixing our eyes on the wrong thing the
writer of Hebrews would put it this way
fix your eyes on Jesus he’s the author
he’s the finisher of our faith meaning
he is still Sovereign he is still in
control he’s still Seated on the throne
he still is who he said he is and he can
still do everything that he says that he
can do nothing that is happening in your
personal life or mine in our culture or
yours nothing that is happening is
outside of the control of our great God
but you might forget that if you keep
looking at the chaos swirling around you
you’ve got to be intentional so do I
about meditating on the truths of God
about looking into them and finding out
what are his promises that he declares
to be true about my family about my
health about my son about my daughter
about my church about my country about
my culture that I live in what has he
declared to be true I’m going to
meditate on this more than I meditate on
everything else where have you been
fixing your
eyes there is a story in Scripture that
I’m continually drawn back to I have
been for years
in fact in 2 Chronicles chap 20 if you
still use a Bible you know a Bible with
actual paper pages and you want to turn
back there with me you can otherwise
your iPhone your iPad any manner of
iness that you have available to you you
can get to Second Chronicles it’s in the
Old Testament there’s a first Chronicles
but also a 2 Chronicles and in 2
Chronicles chapter 20 there is a verse
that leaps out at me every time I see it
part of the reason it leaps out at me is
because I’ve underlined it and I
underlined it back in
2010 okay so I have several things that
I’ve underlined throughout um this Bible
that my parents gave me when I was about
17 years old uh different color
highlights different color underlines
and I I just value this Bible so much
because it’s actually like a little bit
of a track record of my relationship
with God back in 2010 for reasons I
don’t know I underlined this verse I
can’t remember what was happening but I
put the the date right beside it it was
December of
2010 about 10 years from where we are
right now 10 years ago and I underlined
this verse it’s a verse that still
speaks to me as poignantly today as it
did back then and listen if you
underline stuff or highlight stuff on
your electronic Bible or your paper
Bible this is a verse that deserves to
be emphasized 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12
King Jehoshaphat prays and says we are
powerless God before this great
multitude who are coming against us we
don’t know what to
do
but our eyes are on you I’mma read it
again Jehoshaphat prays he’s honest and
he says because of this great multitude
we are
powerless and we don’t know what to do
but Lord this is one thing we do know we
do know where we’re setting our eyes our
eyes are on you Jehosaphat was the king
of Judah and he was a good King he was
known for revering God he was known for
leading people into relationship with
God he was known for acting resolutely
and trying to get everyone under his
jurisdiction to honor Yahweh as the one
true God in fact what’s so interesting
is that that is actually what comes
right before this segment of scripture
in chapter 20 where we’re going to find
out what made Jehosaphat have to pray
like that what made this king who had so
much power at his disposal who had
tactical teams at his disposal who had
weapons and armor at his disposal what
is it that would make a king that great
call out to God and say I am powerless
and not only am I powerless I’m planless
this multitude this Army this trouble
that I’m facing is so chaotic and so
overwhelming and so disparaging that I
know I am powerless in the face of this
multitude what would make make a king
pray like that right before chapter 20
where all of that unfolds the last line
of the previous chapter the verse that
came right be before that tells us that
Jehosaphat acted resolutely and he was
upright now listen I think that’s
interesting that the verse that comes
right before all of this chaos unfolds
in chapter 20 is a verse telling us that
this King has made a decision to act
resolutely and to honor God now if this
don’t tell us about the schemes of the
enemy I don’t know what does cuz I can
tell you right now as soon as you make
the decision to honor God in some area
of your life as soon as you decide that
you’re going to be Resolute in your
integrity that you’re going to honor God
in the tithes and offering that you’re
going to offer the Forgiveness that the
spirit of God is telling you to offer
that you are going to lead your family
in the ways of the Lord that you’re
going to honor your commitment to be in
the word of God on a daily basis as soon
as you like the king of Judah determined
to act resolutely you can know that
chapter 20 is on the way and in chapter
20 there is a multitude that is going to
come against you a scheme of the enemy
to try to water down the resolution that
you are making and in this day and age
you need to know that the enemy is
scheming against you and against me
particularly right now as the people of
God because more now than ever our light
needs to shine now more than ever we
need to be salt so that people can taste
and see that our God is good he’s going
to try to water down our resolutions so
Jehoshaphat makes this resolution and
the very next chapter chapter 20 he
finds such a great multitude coming
against him that he admits I feel like
I’m powerless I feel like I don’t even
have a plan to be able to handle this
Army this multitude that has come up
against me but this I do know my eyes
Lord are going to be on you so follow me
back up to the first verse of chapter 20
and you’ll see what was happening in
jehoshaphat’s experience it says now
after this after what jehoshaphat’s
resolution to honor God right after that
resolution it says that the sons of
moabit and Ammon together with the
minites came to make war against
Jehoshaphat now let’s just let that sit
right there for a moment we’ve got not
one Army not two armies but three armies
that have chosen to come up against
Jehoshaphat the moabites the ammonites
and the minion ites now what you should
know is that two of those armies Judah
had faced before two of them weren’t new
the moabites and the ammonites were two
people groups that Judah had faced
previously you can find record of it
throughout the Old Testament those two
particular enemies that had come up
against Judah they had made war against
them before in other words Judah knew
about the strategies of those two
particular enemies they had faced them
before they had probably studied their
tactical P plans they were aware about
these two enemies and so had it just
been these two armies that had come up
against the king of Judah I wonder if
verse 12 would have ever been uttered I
wondered if Jehosaphat would have ever
said Lord I don’t have the power God I
don’t have a plan but my eyes were on
are on you I wonder if it was just those
two would jehoshaphat’s prayer not have
been as fervent as specific I wonder if
he had been as intentional about
focusing on Yahweh and having his eyes
secured to Yahweh if his Circumstances
had not been quite as dire because he’d
faced these two enemies before just like
those enemies you’ve faced before you
know the ones that honestly if you just
pay a little bit of attention you can
see them coming because they’re nothing
new you know the the trouble you had in
your marriage in year two now you’re
dealing with it in year 20 it ain’t
nothing new it’s just an escalated
version of the same difficulties you
were having before or that child now you
know he’s 15 and the stuff you’re
dealing with at 15 really when you think
about it it’s the same stuff you were
dealing with when they were three it’s
just an escalated version of the exact
same issues or the anxiety that you face
this is not a new anxiety it may be
attached to a new scenario but honestly
if you you look back you can see that
this is the same kind of anxiety that
overtakes you about these kinds of
issues and you’ve been dealing with this
for the last decade or so if we are
careful and if we are watchful and if we
are mindful we can actually see that the
enemy ain’t that creative the enemy has
always come to steal to kill and destroy
and if we’ll just take a moment we’ll be
able to detect where his fingerprints
are where he tries to stop us or
discourage us or to cause us to think
that we are defeated even though he
knows he can never defeat us if we are
Sons and Daughters of the most high God
have you paid attention about the
enemies the issues the dilemas the
schemes the tactics that the enemy has
been trying to use against you because
if you and I will look carefully we’ll
see that he’s been trying to trip our
child up in that way for a long time
he’s been trying to trip our marriage up
in that same way in different varied
forms but that same general direction
for a long time he’s been trying to
discourage us in our ministry or in our
careers are on our jobs culturally and
collectively he’s been trying to trip us
up in that same way for a long time
these ain’t new
enemies and when you are facing the same
enemy over and over again that means you
should be girded you and I should be
prepared we should be proactive about
making sure we can stand firm against
that scheme of the enemy I was thinking
about this in relation to my son JC he’s
my second son I have three boys Jackson
is the oldest Jerry Jr is my middle son
we call him JC and then Jude is my
youngest they’ve been with me uh to
Hillsong New York many many times and my
second son had an allergic reaction
early on in his life to the change in
seasons and you know we’re in Texas so
around the fall and coming out of winter
into the spring we could have 40 degrees
one day and then you know 78 degrees the
next day it just fluctuates and goes up
and down and he was having um allergies
in related to that but it seemed to be
more than allergies it was something
with his bronchial tubes his respiratory
system just was not responding well I
took him to the doctor and she said yeah
his bronchial tubes are definitely
inflamed but she said I really don’t
want to label him an asthmatic because I
think it’s something that really we can
get under control but she said Priscilla
here’s what I need you to do I’m going
to give you a breathing system so that
he can have treatments at home you’ll
give you a little a little um antibiotic
that you’ll put inside of this little
breathing system you’ll put it on his
nose and put it in the mask and have him
breathe through it so that he can ingest
this medication and do his bronchial
tubes and she said Priscilla don’t wait
until he’s wheezing to do it do it
proactively meaning if you can see
because the meteorologist is telling you
that the weather is getting ready to
change suddenly we already have enough
years enough track record with JC’s
Health to be able to know in advance
that if the weather’s going to shift
suddenly he’s going to have a bronchial
reaction to it so Priscilla if you as a
responsible parent will be mindful of
the weather changes and will proactively
give him this um preventative medication
beforehand it will keep his lungs or his
bronchial tubes from spasming in the way
they’ve been spasming in the past it
would be irres responsible parenting for
me to know how his bronchial tubes are
going to react and not prepare
proactively think about the ways that
the enemy has been seeking to take
advantage of you in the past think about
the ways he’s tried to make you feel
unstable or he’s tried to infringe upon
the sanctity of your marriage think
about the ways he’s trying to trip your
son or daughter up because of the
weaknesses that they already have in
their flesh or the tendencies that they
may have think about them and pray pray
to that end search the scriptures for
the promises of God in regards to that
specific issue post those promises in
your home so that you can have your
whole family alert to What God Says in
that regard Paul says Ephesians chapter
6 put on the full armor of God so that
you can stand firm against the schemes
of the enemy what are some things that
you were facing that honestly when you
think about it it’s like these two
enemies that Jehoshaphat Judah was
facing there nothing new we’ve faced
these enemies
before so for
Jehosaphat two of these were common
enemies so the reason why in verse
12 Jehosaphat likely says I’m
powerless and I’m planless I can’t even
come up with a plan even if I had the
power I wouldn’t have the Insight the
knowledge the discernment the wisdom to
be able to figure out a plan to stand
against this multitude the reason why he
says it is because of this third Army
it’s the minion ites it’s the alliance
and the merging of all three of these
difficult situations these armies these
multitudes coming against them all at
one
time that’s what causes him to say I’m
powerless that’s what causes him to say
I can’t even come up with a plan
the reality
is that for many of us it’s not just the
pandemic it’s that the pandemic was
piled on to a time in our life where we
already were dealing with our own
problems it’s not just the isolation
it’s the isolation layered on top of the
issues we were already dealing with it’s
not just the virus it’s the virus piled
on to the fact that we felt like we
couldn’t get Victory before any of this
started it’s not just the new Army it’s
that we were already dealing with other
ones when the third one showed up so now
we feel like we’re surrounded on all
sides kind of reminds me lot of the
children of Israel in Exodus chapter 13
right after they’ve been freed from
Egypt they come up against the Red Sea
it’s not just the Red Sea that actually
causes the problem it’s that pharaoh and
the Egyptian Army are coming up behind
them and Scholars say that there would
have been so many thousands of them that
they would have spanned out around the
west and the east side of the children
of Israel as those refugees tried to
escape to the promised land so it wasn’t
just that the Red Sea was in front it’s
that pharaoh and his army were behind
and beside so they were surrounded on
all sides I know that you know how that
feels cuz I know how it feels it’s when
you’ve got a struggle in this part of
your life and then another one pops up
on this side of your life and then just
when you feel like you’ve taken care of
that one then this one pops up and then
just when you got a little bit of a
handle on that one then this one pops up
and then when your personal life is a
little bit settled today then culturally
something strikes up in our country or
in our culture or in our world or in the
life of a friend and all of a sudden
you’re surrounded all over again and in
the face of all of that
surrounding Calamity and Chaos sometimes
we can say exactly like Jehosaphat did
now I can
admit I’m
powerless I do not know what to do but
here’s what we can say even when we are
powerless and even when we are planless
we can say I don’t know what to do but
this I do know my eyes are going to be
fixed on
you fixing your eyes on Jesus when
you’re
surrounded is what I believe is one of
the
benefits it’s one of the
outworkings of God’s purposes when he
allows his children to be surrounded Ed
by difficult
circumstances I always hesitate to say
when God has caused something I’ve heard
folks say maybe that God has been the
cause of some of the negative things
that we’ve been facing in our country
and in our culture and in our world I
always hesitate to say what God is or is
not doing but this I do know everything
that happens in your life in mine in my
country in yours in my culture and in
yours every everything that happens has
to first pass through the fingers of God
before it ever enters in into our
experience so whether or not God caused
it I don’t know but this I can say with
a sure level of certainty he has allowed
it and if he’s allowed it that means
it’s going to be for your good and it’s
going to be for his glory that means
there’s something that is supposed to be
birthed out of it if we’ll just pay
attention and keep our eyes fixed on
Jesus not only will US keeping our eyes
on him like Caris keeping her eyes on
her grandfather was able to give her a
sense of steadiness and security and
stability even though trouble was still
um in her sphere of influence not only
will it keep you stable but it will
allow you to see that there is a good
God who is still Seated on the throne
who has not been displaced from his
position of omniscience and omnipresence
and sovereignty and complete control he
is not surprised by the things that have
surprised us why would he allow them we
may never know on this side of Eternity
but what we can know is that our God is
good that he is faithful and if nothing
else all of the chaos that is swirling
around us and the multitudes that we are
facing in our midst they may make us
afraid as they do with Jehosaphat in 2
Chronicles chapter 20 you’ll see
Jehosaphat say I’m afraid I don’t know
what to do
but you can make the commitment that
your eyes will be on
Jesus change the way you handle this
situation it’ll change the way you face
the difficulty it’ll change the way you
wake up each day instead of being
hopeless like so many others and they
are now questioning their faith and they
are doubting who God is when you keep
your eyes focused on the character of
God when you refuse to allow yourself to
question who God is you can ask
questions of God without questioning God
do you see the difference in the little
Nuance there ask your questions I’ve got
mine I’m sure you’ve got yours but you
and I can ask questions about our
situation and about all of these
multitudes that we are facing without
questioning the character of God keep
your eyes on
Jesus Jehosaphat says my eyes are fixed
on you and if there is one thing that
being surrounded on all sides is
supposed to do in our lives it’s
supposed to refocus our attention so
that since we’ve tried everything else
and since we’ve run to all these other
resources and we’ found them lacking
that there is no solution that they’re
not powerful enough that they’re not
calculated enough that they’re not
diligent enough that they are not able
to stand up against this great multitude
that we are facing finally this kind of
difficulty is the one that makes us drop
to our knees and look to the kills from
whence cometh our help do you realize
this is what he’s been after all along
refocusing our priority our attention
calling us back to him calling us back
to a fervent fresh fiery relationship
with him where we don’t just you know
read a verse a day to keep the devil
away where we don’t just say a casual
prayer because it’s what we’re supposed
to do where we don’t just tune into
online services because it’s what we’re
supposed to do since we can’t go to
actual church anymore that least I can
do is give God this hour of tuned in
fellowship with him on a Sunday it’s got
to be about more than that Jehosaphat
says my eyes daily are now going to be
fixed on you that’s intentional it’s
deliberate it’s proactive it means that
you are making it a priority to meet
with God over the scriptures in a time
when so many people are choosing now to
trust the opinions of everyone else
they’re choosing to hear and lean into
and look to everyone else as the source
of Truth this is the time when the Sons
and Daughters of God fix our eyes back
on the truth of God’s word that we
cultivate friendship with God in prayer
that we remind ourselves that the holy
spirit of God lives on the inside of us
so that we can have insight and
Revelation and walk in wisdom and
discernment and integrity all the days
of our life I don’t know what the Army
is that has surrounded you I don’t know
the multitude that has surrounded you I
could tell you the multitude that’s
surrounding
me and 2 Chronicles 20:2 reminds me that
when I am surrounded when I feel
powerless and when I can’t even come up
with a plan cuz stuff has gotten too
thick for me to even come up with a plan
this is the one thing I can do I can
make sure my eyes are focused on
Jesus I want to be vulnerable with you
for a moment and tell you that since I
last saw you in person uh there has been
so much that has happened in my life
difficult stuff I feel like I’ve been
surrounded on all sides kind of like
Jehosaphat was explaining a few moments
ago surrounded by difficulty obviously
there have been so many things that have
surrounded all of us globally but even
before we got to 2020 can I just tell
you that the 18 months leading up to it
were particularly trying and difficult
for um me and for my family it started a
couple of years ago when my uncle my
dad’s brother passed away and then 6
months later my cousin winter she was
not just my cousin she was my best
friend she suddenly died at 37 years old
left a husband and four young girls she
was fine we were planning to go to the
movies the next day as a matter of fact
I still have the voxes on my phone as we
were boxing each other back and forth
about what movies we were going to go
see together the next day um and then
suddenly she had a malfunction of the
heart and her heart stopped beating and
she died 6 months after that my aunt my
dad’s sister so this is the same side of
the family she passed away 3 months
after she passed away my uncle James her
husband died
we were just trying to catch our breath
reeling from all the losses in our
family when just several months later
another cousin in her 30s passed away
from a mass that they found in her chest
just a couple of weeks after she started
coughing and realized that there was
something that even needed medical
attention she left a husband and two
small
children and then all of this time my
mother’s health had been ailing it was a
diagnosis of cancer a rare and
aggressive form of cancer that had come
out of nowhere my mom was an
extraordinarily healthy 69 at the time
69 year-old woman she still went to the
gym she ate right she was healthy and
active and we had a great relationship
um our whole family and the doctors told
us that there was a cancer that they had
found there was nothing they could do
about it we tried everything that we
could but in December 2019 we could see
that my mother’s health was
rapidly
declining and just about the time when
my mom was getting to her 70th birthday
December 1st of
2019 right around those days as we were
now taking care of my mother pretty much
day and night my sister and I sort of
moved back in we were there during the
nights and there during the day right
about the time that December rolled
around and we were all focused on her my
grandfather my my father’s father who we
affectionately called two Daddy he
passed away at 90 years old and so I
remember right there at the beginning of
December celebrating my mother’s 70th
birthday at the same time I was jumping
on a plane me my husband and I to rush
with my father to go see his father
before two daddy passed away our beloved
grandfather and then having to be there
to funeralized him while half of us
siblings stayed home with my mom to take
care of her and so it was just a
juggling of emotions and hardship and
struggle we felt surrounded on all sides
and then it would only be about 30 days
later on December 30th 2019 that my
mother would slip away to Eternity while
her four children and my dad were all
surrounding
her we funeralized my mother a week
after she died and it would be a week
later that I personally would have to go
into surgery um for them to remove the
upper lobe of my left lung because of
something that they found there that had
to be taken out and the only way to get
it was to remove the whole lobe of my
lung that took us into January of 2020
when I had that surgery and then while
still trying to even get my breath back
reeling from that surgery and then the
losses especially the loss of my own
mother then of course for all of
us the pandemic hit
civil unrest racial unrest bubbled up to
the surface in our country the political
climate became more adversarial the
chaos was swirling around us if there’s
ever a time in my life and I’m sure in
your life as well that we feel like
Jehosaphat where we’re surrounded on all
sides that time is right now and here’s
what I came to tell you that the
solution and the encouragement is tucked
away in in Elijah’s prayer admit that
you are
powerless God I can’t do it I can’t have
emotional stability and security I can’t
even take care of my own physical body I
can do the best that I can but still
even when I’m doing the best that I can
there are inner workings of my physical
frame that only you can tend to so
father even with the best that I can do
in my relationships or in my finances or
uh being an instrument to be used in
culture For Your Glory and to stand up
for righteousness and Justice I can do
the best that I can do but father I
recognize that against an army like this
with everything I see happening on my
Twitter feed and my Instagram feed on
social media on the news channels that
I’m watching with enemies like this I
admit like Jehosaphat did I am powerless
against this great Army and not only am
I powerless but God I am plan lless I
don’t even I don’t even have a
plan the highest
Heights of my wisdom can’t even figure
out how to handle this difficulty I’m
having in my personal private life or in
the culture and Country in which I live
father I am powerless against this great
multitude and I don’t know what to
do but here’s what I can tell you my
eyes my eyes are on
you here’s what I
wonder I wonder if that is what he he’s
been after
anyway a church whose eyes are back on
him not the programs not the buildings
not even the services collectively
Gathering physically like we’ve grown so
used to and of course we’ll come back to
at some point but I wonder if this is
the time where he wanted to shake us
awake out of spiritual complacency and
draw us back to him get your eyes on me
he calls out to the Church to you and to
me let’s look back to Jesus the author
and the finisher of our faith he is
still where our help comes from one of
my favorite movies in recent years was
The Incredibles too I like The
Incredibles the first one and the second
one but I got to tell you if you didn’t
see the second one you must because it
was really good and in this one alasa
girl you know the wife she kind of comes
up to the Forefront just a little bit
and so do the children they are all
using uh Mr Incredible AA girl and their
kids those kids are all using all the
superpowers that they have to stand
against the evils of the day and at one
point alaster girl in True Mother
fashion she’s worried about her kids
there are just too many demands on them
there’s too much they’re having to do
they’re they’re basically having to grow
up real quick and mature in their
superpower skills real quick and she’s
worried about them and she says to her
husband in a sweet moment she says to
him but they’re just kids miss
incredible looks back at Elastic Girl
and says yeah but they’re kids with
power whether or not they choose to use
that power is up to them but they sure
do have access to it listen to me yeah
you’re a child but you’re a child of God
you’re a child with
power and that power is found when Our
Eyes Are Fixed On
Jesus Lord I thank you that you are
worth looking at I thank you that the
answers that we need in our personal
private lives and collectively as a
church and as a globe the answers we
need are found in you father by your
spirit would you give us the tenacity
would you give us the discipline would
you give us the encouragement to look to
you and you alone you are where our help
comes from in Jesus name amen
