In these uncertain and troubling times there is one thing believers in Your Son Jesus know is You are in total control. You hold the answer to not only our country’s problems but each of ours individually. We have taken our freedoms in this country for granted, focused on self-interests, put aside the importance of our Constitution, and have passed laws and made decisions in government that are not of Your Will. Little attention is being given by those in authority to place their faith and trust in You . . . we are a nation that is either not exhibiting or giving lip service to One Nation Under God and In God We Trust.
Father God, We come before Your Throne asking for Your Mercy and Grace as we pursue answers and understanding to our troubled world. We pray those in authority will seek Holy Spirit to direct our paths acknowledging that Your Way is the Only Way.
Every day brings more anguish, pain, bewilderment . . . these are emotional times. Father God, shake this country, its people, its churches back to reality . . .the reality that You are in charge of our next breath, our country’s and every individual’s future. It is especially disconcerting to witness the innocent children growing up in these subversive and evil times . . . children who are not being shown “the Light of the World is Jesus.” It is disheartening these days to find in local obituaries that faith is not included as an attribute of the deceased. My immediate thought . . . “Did anyone try to reach out and witness to these individuals? And am I doing my best to share Jesus?”
Father God, Please provide supernatural protection for President Trump, Vice-President Vance, their families, and those in government who are looking to you for direction and answers. Give them the strength and boldness to do the right thing. Please expose the evil ones who are leading us on a path of destruction and bring about swift and sure justice.
We, as Christians, know this world is not our home. I am grateful for Your forgiving me of wasted time, talents and collections of useless treasures. Help us in these end days to follow Your instruction in evangelizing the country . . . the world. Please send a great revival that cannot be contained and let it begin in us, our families, and Your Church . . . the Church that stands for righteousness and does not cave to social discourse.
We ask protection and blessings for those who are sacrificing their lives to keep us safe as well as for their families. Help us also do the right thing for individuals and families who are experiencing physical, financial, and emotional problems in these difficult times.
Our focus on tribulations and mundane priorities at home have deterred our attention from current activities and those who are making decisions regarding the Middle East. You have provided us with the final chapters on earth through Your Word and pray that our country will stand for righteousness and never waive in support of Your most favored nation Israel.
We thank you for the Robinson family and Free Republic that provides an excellent opportunity for corporate prayer.
We do not deserve anything Lord, but please please keep us safe in Your Loving and Everlasting Arms and give us the opportunity and the ability to share the Gospel . . . the Good News of Your Son Jesus . . . how He gave His Life for all . . . the Free Gift of Salvation and an eternity in Heaven . . . that comes by repenting of sin and acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior.
Thank You for hearing our prayers. In the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen
The following is an excerpt from a 2020 article by Dr. David Jeremiah, Turning Points Ministry Drop the Bombshell Mentality. I believe these are still good and appropriate thoughts to share with others for “such a time as this”.
Expect God’s Sovereignty: First, we have to keep in mind God’s absolute sovereignty over everything. The more you grasp the sovereignty of God, the less you’ll suffer the stresses of life. When things seem out of control, we can remain under control by remembering Who is in control.
Expect God’s Strength: Second, instead of expecting the next bomb to drop, learn to expect God’s strengthening grace to come to you at just the needed time.
Expect God’s Providential Care: Instead of shell shock, you can also expect God’s providential care. Throughout the Bible, the theme of God’s remarkable provision recurs like heartbeats.
Expect God’s Blessings: In addition to meeting our needs, God adds His blessings. Numbers 6:24 says, “The Lord bless you and keep you.” From the fullness of His grace, He sends us one blessing after another.
Expect God’s Guidance: Finally, expect God’s guidance. We don’t know what news will come today or tomorrow, but we know God is already ahead of us living in tomorrow, and He knows how to show us what to do. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust Him with all our hearts and acknowledge His Lordship in every detail, “and He shall direct your paths. God guides us through our world of panic and politics and personal decisions. He gives us a thought, waters it with good advice, allows us to pray for His leadership and confirms it with His Word. If God can keep the earth on its orbital path around the sun, spinning at just the right speed, never wobbling, sending us day and night with precision and perfection, He can surely keep us on the right path and guide us into tomorrow.
Don’t live by fright. Live by faith. While the world is dodging bombshells, you’ll be basking in the sunshine of His sovereign strength, providential care, daily blessings and timely guidance.

Amen.

Psalm 91
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
Amen and thank you.
