[1563.46 --> 1564.76] to do good works.
[1565.00 --> 1565.78] And so just like
[1565.78 --> 1566.28] the psalmist,
[1566.36 --> 1566.94] we can say,
[1568.00 --> 1568.90] the famous psalm,
[1569.18 --> 1569.78] Psalm 23,
[1569.78 --> 1570.84] the Lord
[1570.84 --> 1571.84] is my shepherd.
[1571.84 --> 1573.30] I lack nothing.
[1574.92 --> 1576.06] The Lord
[1576.06 --> 1576.78] is my shepherd.
[1576.90 --> 1577.34] Not me.
[1578.12 --> 1578.64] The Lord
[1578.64 --> 1579.64] is my shepherd.
[1580.36 --> 1581.26] He leads me
[1581.26 --> 1582.40] beside quiet waters.
[1583.80 --> 1585.14] He refreshes
[1585.14 --> 1585.78] my soul.
[1586.98 --> 1587.20] Amen.
[1587.94 --> 1588.42] Amen.
[1588.88 --> 1589.40] Let's pray.
[1589.40 --> 1590.40] Amen.
[1590.40 --> 1590.76] Amen.
[1595.26 --> 1596.20] Loving Father,
[1596.32 --> 1597.52] we come before you
[1597.52 --> 1599.76] and we give you thanks
[1599.76 --> 1601.06] and we praise your name
[1601.06 --> 1603.50] for you oppose the proud
[1603.50 --> 1605.78] and you call the weak
[1605.78 --> 1606.44] and the humble
[1606.44 --> 1607.40] to your love.
[1609.74 --> 1611.24] But I also pray, Lord,
[1611.72 --> 1612.86] forgive us for the times
[1612.86 --> 1613.92] when we were proud.
[1615.12 --> 1616.16] Forgive us for the times
[1616.16 --> 1616.80] when we thought
[1616.80 --> 1617.90] we had it all figured out,
[1617.90 --> 1620.20] that we can live
[1620.20 --> 1620.84] without you.
[1622.36 --> 1623.22] You call us
[1623.22 --> 1624.36] to be disciples, Lord.
[1625.56 --> 1626.24] And that's what
[1626.24 --> 1626.90] we want to do.
[1628.04 --> 1628.82] Help us
[1628.82 --> 1630.02] in our time of need.
[1630.90 --> 1631.58] Humble us
[1631.58 --> 1632.92] in our time of pride.
[1634.60 --> 1635.34] Help us
[1635.34 --> 1636.02] to depend
[1636.02 --> 1637.46] and lean on you
[1637.46 --> 1641.58] to truly live
[1641.58 --> 1642.18] and confess
[1642.18 --> 1643.82] that you are
[1643.82 --> 1644.98] our only source
[1644.98 --> 1645.66] of comfort
[1645.66 --> 1646.62] and healing
[1646.62 --> 1648.14] and rest.
[1649.26 --> 1649.80] We thank you
[1649.80 --> 1650.28] for this
[1650.28 --> 1651.32] and I pray a blessing
[1651.32 --> 1653.44] over all of our workplaces
[1653.44 --> 1654.40] as we head
[1654.40 --> 1655.52] into a new fall season
[1655.52 --> 1656.76] that your blessing
[1656.76 --> 1657.56] and your equipping
[1657.56 --> 1658.60] by your spirit
[1658.60 --> 1659.42] would be with us
[1659.42 --> 1660.48] every step along the way.
[1661.60 --> 1662.14] We thank you
[1662.14 --> 1663.10] for this good news
[1663.10 --> 1664.70] and in your holy,
[1665.04 --> 1665.32] precious name
[1665.32 --> 1665.70] we pray.
[1666.52 --> 1666.82] Amen.
[1666.82 --> 1666.94] Amen.
[1669.82 --> 1670.66] At this time,
[1670.76 --> 1671.42] I'm going to invite
[1671.42 --> 1672.60] the worship team
[1672.60 --> 1673.32] up to the stage
[1673.32 --> 1674.30] as we turn
[1674.30 --> 1675.00] to the table
[1675.00 --> 1676.00] and we share
[1676.00 --> 1676.94] in communion together.
[1676.94 --> 1677.06] Amen.
