Isaiah 54:5 "For thy Maker is thine husband: the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called."

Isaiah 62:4-5 "Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate (Or, Azuba ["desolation"]: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah (That is, "My delight is in her"), and thy land Beulah (That is, "Married"): for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. (5) For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."

Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; (2) To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; (3) To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."

Isaiah 61:10 "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh (Hebrew: decketh as a priest) himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."

Hosea 2:19 "And I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies."

Romans 8:35-37 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As is is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

Psalm 31:15 "My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me."

Deuteronomy 33:3 "Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; and every one shall receive of thy words."

1 Kings 17:2-4, 8-9 "And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, (3) Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. (4) And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there." (8) "And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, (9) Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."

Matthew 6:25, 32 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (32) "(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

The Lord GOD and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, looks upon every believer as a joyful and love-overflowing bridegroom looks upon his bride, and delights in her (every believer, every saint!) and wants to lavish her with everything that she would ever need, and love her so much that certainly her heart would burst for the fill of it! Oh, so much so does Christ Jesus love every believer, who have become the children of God, and will keep everyone of us in His Tender Care and Mercies and Grace! Father God is a true Father unto all who accept Jesus into their heart. Mankind's heart, although many, many human fathers who were indeed excellent daddies to their children since Creation until now (of whom also many followed God), we also know of the men who fathered children and treated them horribly and despicably, or who brought them before an idol made of wood, stone or gold and proclaimed that they should bow down to it.

But God's Eternal, Forgiving Love was there in the Beginning, and right up to His sending His Son Incarnate by the Power of the Holy Spirit, and into eternity. He loves us all so much! Can we not lay our burdens down in Christ's capable, Powerful shoulders and accept His beautiful, unspeakably wonderful Gift of Salvation and true Life to be lived here on this earth in spirit and indeed in truth? Yes!

Dear Lord God, I thank You for all your are doing to help this Nation of We The People, The United States of America. Please continue to help us get back on right standing with You as you have given us another chance, a gift of a courageous man of integrity, knowledge and wisdom. Please help us and help President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and every man and every woman that now holds office in such crucial areas of our Constitutional Republic, indeed as every elected and appointed office in The Land is crucial for governance, growth, security and longevity, to clearly hear Your Sovereign voice of Love and Guidance, and to not leave to the left or the right but to stay on that Path that, though it be narrow, you give Your Lamp to our feet and a Light unto our path that we all will surely know the way.

Lord Jesus, please shower Your Protection through the Power of Your Holy Spirit to shield us from attack from within and without, from every kind of attack. Let us not fear, but trust in You.

Thank You, Lord God, for blessing this Nation, We The People. Let us always Bless you in all things godly and good and righteous before You that we set our hand to do, and to continually, daily engrave Your Word upon the tablets of our hearts.

Amen.
