daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing this fine Monday? I read the scriptures and the prophecies and then look at the news, man, things are unfolding. Timeline? When?  No one can give that to us but we can see as the events align with scripture. The middle east has always been a hot bed of activity and scripture has played out . We have the opportunity to have 20-20 hindsight and see where prophecy happened as foretold in thew scriptures so it stand stands reason it will continue to happen as scripture says. Do we need to worry? No but concern is OK and normal. What is the difference? Scripture tells us that worry adds not one second to our life. All worry will do is give us a headache and wrinkles. Of course your child in the hospital is a cause for concern but worry wont help them, prayer will. Worry about where our country is headed doesn't help but petitioning our congress may. It is wise to prepare for things, worrying that they may happen is not. It is prudent to be aware of where we live even though we are in this world but not of it as believers in Christ. Our comfort and ease of living is not where we need to focus our energy but more God's message of salvation and grace. Why would we judge from our eyes and ears when we know the spiritual realm is where the real battle is happening?  I don't know the history of that homeless person and neither do you and even if you do, so what? Pray anyways. Help where and when you can anyways. Be compassionate anyways. We all can in an instant be where they are so I advise us all to follow scripture and Jesus' example of love for our fellow human being and pray they find salvation in Jesus just like you and I did. Stop worrying and start praying.



Mat 6:27
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?



Php 4:6
In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.



1Pe 5:6-7
  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;  casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.

Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your patience with a group like us. Lord, forgive our unbelief. Help us stand and not compound stuff with worry. Help us trust in you. Lord we lift those hurting inside and out. Touch them, let them know you understand and are right there beside them. Let them know you are holding them. Lord we praise and honor you this day, in Jesus name, amen
