Good morning šāļøš
I woke up this morning thinking of Speaker Mike Johnson and his need for a strong prayer covering and I thought about the America we once knew. Is she gone forever? God knows. I do know we no longer wield moral authority in the world.
This passage came to mind.
Ephesians 6: 10-19 (NIV).
The Armor of God
ā10Ā Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Ā Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilās schemes. 12Ā For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Ā Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Ā Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15Ā and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16Ā In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Ā Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.ā
Be safe and blessed. Pray for yourselves, your families, leaders, and other nations. #MikeJohnson #prayer #Congress
Do any young women you know aspire to become a Proverbs 31 wife?
āA wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.ā
Proverbs 31:10-12 (NIV)
Marriage is a two-way street. Iāve never had a successful one myself, but Iāve known many couples who have. Those who pray together, worship together, and work together toward common goals have a far greater chance of building something that endures.
Young ladies, the Proverbs 31 standard isnāt outdated ā itās countercultural and powerful.

Hereās a simple prayer that God will hear.
āBe pleased to save me, Lord; come quickly, Lord, to help me.
May all who want to take my lifeāØbe put to shame and confusion;āØmay all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.ā

Enjoy Paulās prayer for the Ephesians. Itās one of my favorites.
āFor this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all Godās people,
I have not stopped giving thanks for you,remembering you in my prayers.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head ...
