Summary
The very thing you’ve been praying for may require you to become the answer. In this transformative message, Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that we are often the answers to our own prayers, and God has always had us in His plan.
Drawing from Matthew 26:37-46, where we find Jesus in His most relatable moment, sorrowful and uncertain in the Garden of Gethsemane, she distinguishes between God’s promise and our process: “The promise depends on God; the process depends on you.”
While we focus on the promise, God uses the process to transform us into the version that can carry it. This version will allow us to look more like Him. Just as God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before releasing them to have dominion over the earth, He positions us in smaller places to cultivate the character needed for greater purpose.
The process God has placed you in isn’t about getting what you desire; it’s about becoming who He needs you to be.
Message: “Get Out of Your Way”
Scripture: Matthew 26:37-46 (NKJV)

| 0:04.0 | I'm in Matthew 26. |
| 0:08.0 | I have to tell you, come on, yeah, y'all come on now, |
| 0:12.0 | Big Chris is gone, so in his memory, |
| 0:16.0 | let a rip. |
| 0:19.0 | I remember when we first moved and, you know, I don't know if y'all know this or not, |
| 0:26.3 | but, you know, the Lord built this house, you know, through Bishop T.D. Jakes, and, you know, |
| 0:33.3 | he's a, he knows how to string a few sentences together. |
| 0:39.9 | And I remember the first time I was preaching and Chris goes, that's the word. |
| 0:45.3 | That's the word. |
| 0:46.0 | I said, oh, I'm preaching, preaching now. |
| 0:49.3 | He will certainly be missed. |
| 0:52.2 | This is a big church. |
| 0:53.6 | I know that. And if you're maybe not as comfortable in |
| 0:56.9 | big environments, I just want you to know that we go out of our way to make a big place feel |
| 1:01.3 | as small and connected and intimate as possible. And that you matter to us, that you're not just |
| 1:08.6 | a sea of faces, that you matter to us. There's a couple in my head you're a couple. I haven't met you. You sit up there, weekend and week out. You guys have locks. I see you guys week in and week out. And I see you guys up there. You come in. Y'all get real happy when Bishop preached, but then y'all gave us a chance up in the corner of you, |
| 1:27.6 | and sometimes you come with your daughters. |
| 1:29.1 | I'll be seeing y'all is what I'm saying. |
| 1:32.5 | Because you matter to us, and our prayer is always, God, help us to see the people in this room, |
| 1:39.0 | to not think that this is a platform or a mega church, because these are your sons and daughters and you all matter to us. |
