“And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His Will, He heareth us.” —1 John 5:14

1-3 Now, friends, read these next words carefully. Slow down and don’t go jumping to conclusions regarding the day when our Master, Jesus Christ, will come back and we assemble to welcome him. Don’t let anyone shake you up or get you excited over some breathless report or rumored letter from me that the day of the Master’s arrival has come and gone. Don’t fall for any line like that.
3-5 Before that day comes, a couple of things have to happen. First, the Apostasy. Second, the debut of the Anarchist, a real dog of Satan. He’ll defy and then take over every so-called god or altar. Having cleared away the opposition, he’ll then set himself up in God’s Temple as “God Almighty.” Don’t you remember me going over all this in detail when I was with you? Are your memories that short?
6-8 You’ll also remember that I told you the Anarchist is being held back until just the right time. That doesn’t mean that the spirit of anarchy is not now at work. It is, secretly and underground. But the time will come when the Anarchist will no longer be held back, but will be let loose. But don’t worry. The Master Jesus will be right on his heels and blow him away. The Master appears and—puff!—the Anarchist is out of there.
9-12 The Anarchist’s coming is all Satan’s work. All his power and signs and miracles are fake, evil sleight of hand that plays to the gallery of those who hate the truth that could save them. And since they’re so obsessed with evil, God rubs their noses in it—gives them what they want. Since they refuse to trust truth, they’re banished to their chosen world of lies and illusions.
13-14 Meanwhile, we’ve got our hands full continually thanking God for you, our good friends—so loved by God! God picked you out as his from the very start. Think of it: included in God’s original plan of salvation by the bond of faith in the living truth. This is the life of the Spirit he invited you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the glory of our Master, Jesus Christ.
15-17 So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.

Father All Glorious,
O’er all victorious! Come
and reign over us, Ancient of Days!
Mighty God, hear the prayers of Your faithful.
We, miserable sinners all, confess the sin of resentment against the despoilers, the thieves of our heritage and our peace, the empty pontificators, the lazy socialists who would rather riot and steal what others have worked for than join the human race, the just and the unjust upon whom rain falls.
We feel perhaps like the prodigal son’s brother, who stayed and did the hard farming tasks and cared for their dad, while his wastrel brother partied and spent—then the prodigal was treated by their father with jubilation and the fattened lamb when he came crawling back.
Yet the Lamb of God wants no one to perish. All who repent will be welcome in Your kingdom. Our task is to pray for their salvation and to reach out with the Good News to those who may be reached, before it is too late for them, and for us.
Help us to stay serene in the face of these severe provocations and outrageous impositions of foreign gods in our cherished land. Lift up our President for strength and discretion in his time of personal bereavement. May his family members travel safely as they gather, reportedly tomorrow, to memorialize his brother Robert.
Father God, bring the gospel message to all individuals who have lost loved ones, their jobs, their residences or their businesses due to the engineered shutdowns and unrest, especially those children who have lost parents, and those small proprietors whose livelihoods have been devastated by vandalism, looting or burning. May they realize that their help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth, even though such help may be delivered by the hands of other mortals.
Father, loose a spirit of gratitude in this land, for the abundant blessings that have historically made America great. Be with our President, Vice President, their staffs, and the campaign teams of all patriots and conservatives whom You have already prepared for such a time as this. May Your Holy Spirit accompany every voter as they select our next wave of leaders.
Thank You, Father, for the clear illumination of what is at stake, the unveiling of corruption and the revealing of the anarchy taking place under the blue governance of unbelievers. Be with William Barr and John Durham in the performance of their duties, and may any attorneys, grand juries or judges involved in their findings, and thse responsible for prosecutions across the entire nation, act so as to serve Your Will, whether they realize it or not.
We humbly ask these petitions in the name of Your Son and our Messiah, Jesus.
Amen.

Psalm 31
To the leader. A Psalm of David.
1 In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me.
2 Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name’s sake lead me and guide me,
4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
6 You hate* those who pay regard to worthless idols,
but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have taken heed of my adversities,
8 and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
you have set my feet in a broad place.
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
my eye wastes away from grief,
my soul and body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my misery,*
and my bones waste away.
11 I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
a horror* to my neighbours,
an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the whispering of many—
terror all around!—
as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in you, O Lord;
I say, ‘You are my God.’
15 My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
16 Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love.
17 Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord,
for I call on you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be stilled
that speak insolently against the righteous
with pride and contempt.
19 O how abundant is your goodness
that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of everyone!
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them
from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
from contentious tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord,
for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
when I was beset as a city under siege.
22 I had said in my alarm,
‘I am driven far* from your sight.’
But you heard my supplications
when I cried out to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints.
The Lord preserves the faithful,
but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord.
Joining your prayer, dear SisterK, amen!
This entire psalm is so perfect for our present situation. The Word of God is true, yesterday, today and forever! Thank you for this and all your faithful daily psalm posts, dear brother!
Amen.
Prayers for President Trump and those loyal to this nation and its founding freedoms in his Administration,
Let the curtains be pulled back on the enemies of truth and justice and let them be seen for what they are,
Amen
Joining you in prayer, Dear Albion Wilde, in Jesus Holy Name, Amen.
