Prayer requests

 

It seems like every time we turn on the television, or look at our emails from other folks, or look at social media (please don't do that!), we are overwhelmed with constant updates about different crises around the globe.

We feel the impacts of these crises in our homes, when we shop for our groceries, and when we fill our gas tanks. It seems we are battered from all sides: our government is not incompetent. They know exactly what they are doing; they are working to dismantle our great nation and build it back into the Marxist state that will cooperate with the great reset openly touted by Klaus Schwab and others at Davos.

Because of all this, it is common to feel anxiety and uncertainty during these challenging times. It makes a difference when we remember that God is an almighty fortress of hope and protection. He invites us to take refuge in Him through prayer when we are feeling fearful and alone.

Whether we pray on our own or with others, finding times to pray during these days of uncertainty is important. Sometimes the best way to turn to God is to read or listen and reflect on His Word. 

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.  (II Timothy 1:7)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Let's pray.
