Father,
This is the day you have made, we will rejoice and be glad in it! For You promise Your beloved rest between Your shoulders. You are ever so close to us, Father. We can do all things through You …for You are the source of our strength. Let all we do honor You, Father. As you encourage us, let us be an encouragement to those around us.
Remind us when we falter and fail that You uphold us. Your merciful hand has purposed our lives, and we cannot outrun your love or free gift of salvation by Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Father, you weave our stories throughout ancient history and onto tomorrow. You number our days and surround us with Your love. When we are down, send Your Holy Spirit to remind us of Your loving kindness.
There is much to fear and be frustrated about in this life on earth. There is grave injustice, oppression, and unfairness everywhere we look. Disastrous weather events and horrific acts of violence. We fear losing our lives and our loved ones, disease and disaster. You are our comforter through it all.
In Your Word we are upheld and in Your arms we throw our anxieties and find safety and protection. When the world seems to press into our lives harder than we can bear, we know we are never holding on alone. You remind us to be strong and courageous, to rely on You for strength, and not to fear. You promise to strengthen us and uphold us.
Through every heartache and conflict, continue to broadcast the truth of Your word into our hearts. Encourage us, Father, always. Help us to navigate the tricky waters of relationships on this earth and hurdle the stumbling blocks the enemy lines our daily paths with.
We know in this world we will have trouble, but we do not want to let it steal our joy! For You have overcome this world! Though it can be hard and discouraging, let us take heart in Your truth. Squash every distorted thought and lie with the encouraging words of Christ. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest!” (Matthew 11:28)
King David stated, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1) He, and so many other Biblical hallmarks have left their legacies of Your encouraging word despite their sins and shortcomings. Let us fall in their footsteps, Father, following You despite our imperfections. Adjust our expectations through Your perspective.
Help us to keep getting up, keep following You, keep hoping, and holding onto the joy and peace Jesus died to give us. He is our ultimate source of encouragement.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Just checked with my son. His GF Is a first responder. He said she is there now waiting for the shooter to be caught. He asked for prayers! She reports they are being held back (since 9:30p) while cops work to clear each location. She reports it's really bad. With "tons people transported if stll alive" My daughter reports 4 deceased and 8 injured removed to hospital. First responders are reporting from all over the state.
Yesterday everyone was chatting and you could tell that there was negotiating going on. Makes me wonder if the deal is in. What say you?
I live in Michigan and will never again vote for James! I'm sick of victimhood! If you cant speak as an American you don't deserve a seat at the table!
And haven't we been told that the real Christmas is the 6th? What if all this is a delay tactic?
Wondering why when some vites are voting for Jefferies there is raunchious laughter. I personally find this laughter demeaning. I guess I still believe our Congress should have some appropriate decorum.
Thought I'd share an experience I had at a "world class" teaching university yesterday. My husband has cancer and is facing a bone marrow transplant at this school in a couple of weeks. I have allergies which make it very difficult to breath in the mornings. Tuesday we were waiting for the apheresis draw and some brainwashed liberal walked by the waiting room (with one person besides my daughter and I) and gave me what for for having my nose out of my mask. Yesterday he did it again. Louder! I told him that the CDC agree that masks didn't work and he threatened to make me wait 4-6 hours in another part of the hospital while my husband had his draw. The worse part was the guy across the room saying he agreed with the braindead nazi. The same guy who recoiled in horror when I extended my hand upon meeting. What was funny is his wife was not making enough bone marrow and my husband was making it in spades. She had 800,00 cells after 5 days and my husband but 1.2 million his first day. Seems there is something thing said for not fearing every microorganism we come across. If you don't have an immune system they can't very well extract it now can they?
We are told that Queen protects King. Who really owns the US?
We are told something is happening soon (9/23). Trump has a rally 9/23. What if Trump actually sent his body double to the golf course? Where was the real Trump?
Does anyone think Charles has called in the marker? Is that why he was so stressed about the pens?
Just asking for discussion. Not trying to date fag
Ballots from 2020 are no longer required to be retained. Are you ready or will we have to wait longer ?
