FATHER GOD,

Truly GOD is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure. But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong. They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty. These fat cats have everything their hearts could ever wish for! They scoff and speak only evil; in their pride they seek to crush others. They boast against the very heavens, and their words strut throughout the earth.

And so, the people are dismayed and confused, drinking in all their words. “What does GOD know?” they ask. “Does the MOST HIGH even know what’s happening?” Look at these wicked people—enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.

Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? I get nothing but trouble all day long; every morning brings me pain.

If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to Your people. So, I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is! Then I went into Your sanctuary, O GOD, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.

Truly, You put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors. When You arise, O LORD, You will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.

Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside. I was so foolish and ignorant—I must have seemed like a senseless animal to You. Yet I still belong to You; You hold my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.

Whom have I in heaven but You? I desire You more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but GOD remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.

Those who desert Him will perish, for You destroy those who abandon You. But as for me, how good it is to be near GOD! I have made the SOVEREIGN LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do. (Psalm 73)

FATHER GOD, forgive us…

when we have bitterness towards the opulent lifestyles of wealthy people.
when we have overindulged in purchases of “things”, food, and worldly pleasures.
when we are tempted to envy the wicked.
when we are jealous when another person does well.

Pluck out ALL roots of unhealthy envy or jealousy that we may have when a person has something we do not. Help guard us against greed and the desire to have more of something than what we need. Do not let the love of money become a sin in our lives. Covetousness, having an excessive or greedy desire for more, is idolatry.

Strengthen the desire for us to put You first in all we do. You Command: Seek the Kingdom of GOD above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33).

“For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person – such a man is an idolater – has any inheritance in the kingdom of CHRIST and of GOD.” (Ephesians 5:5)

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because GOD has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15).

Protect President Trump, his associates, their families, the January 6 political prisoners, and all who are targets because of Your sake during this perilous time.

Thank you there are Bible believing churches that stand untouched by the fires in Maui. May this be a time for these churches to shine. Draw close to all who have lost loved ones and supernaturally provide the means for them to rebuild. May the love of GOD that is being poured out towards them cause them to glorify You and bring them to the saving knowledge of JESUS CHRIST. We pray this petition for all areas of our nation (and world) that have been destroyed through natural and malicious, manmade disasters.

Send Your angel armies to protect us from the enemy within and without. For the sake of the Founders of America and those who fight for righteousness and truth, in Your Grace and Mercy enable We the People to rebuild the foundations of America and restore the U.S. Constitution to its original intent. Most importantly, may we complete the Great Commission here and throughout the world.

We’re sorry for what America has become. Rise up believers to be a great End Times Army for Your sake. Complete what You have started in this nation and in us.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

You (Psalm 73) Elyse Horner

to save our country. We ask You Open Your Arms,
enfolding into the Kingdom of Heaven the many Maui
victims, you comfort their grieving loved ones.

We value Your Wisdom in the presence of Donald Trump,

Thank You for all things, both great and small. In the
Name of Jesus. Amen!

"God had one son without sin but none without suffering." -- St. Augustine

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

Because He has overcome the world, and because we are in Him, so shall we also overcome. All this tribulation and trouble is temporary, but our life in Christ, and all the truly good things in life are eternal. We must not look too much at the trouble in our fallen world but instead keep looking to the Answer. To our inner turmoil, we can say (like Jesus said to the storm) "Peace, be still." In order to keep up our strength, we must at times take our eyes from the earth and look toward heaven. -- Dr. Bruce Atkinson

"If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the end... all this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions." -- Bishop J. C. Ryle

Where the secular culture becomes so intertwined with the kingdom of Christ, the collapse of the former leads to despair -- Michael Horton

There is good biblical evidence that God not only suffered in Christ, but that God in Christ suffers with his people still. Is it not written of God, during the early days of Israel's bitter bondage in Egypt, not just that he saw their plight and 'heard their groaning', but that 'in all their distress he too was distressed'? Did Jesus not ask Saul of Tarsus why he was persecuting him, thus disclosing his solidarity with his church? It is wonderful that we may share in Christ's sufferings; it is more wonderful still that he shares in ours. --- John Stott

Dear Lord, we beseech Thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !

Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over Your children ! Send forth Your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !

AMEN !
