Greetings đź‘‹
Here’s my prayer for all of God’s people.
“In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude
May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.

May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers.
Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
Those nations will fall down and collapse,
 but we will rise up and stand firm.
Give victory to our king, O Lord! Answer our cry for help.” Psalm 20: 1-9 (NLT).

God is totally in control of world events. NOTHING catches him by surprise.
I woke up with the Strait of Hormuz on my mind.
We are in trouble. The escalating crisis with Iran has shut this vital chokepoint. 20% of global oil hangs in the balance. Oil prices are surging. Impacting economies like ours.
Let us pray fervently for an immediate reopening, rapid de-escalation, wise leaders who understand biblical prophecy and the times we are living in. May God grant us protection from disaster and the mercy we need instead of the judgment we deserve for not putting Him first in our lives and nation. Time is running out. Man’s hubris brings destruction.
We pray in Jesus’s name for His will to be done in the Middle East.

Here’s my meditation for today. What do these of Jesus words mean to you?
“All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10: 8-10 (NKJV).
Let’s get this advice from the Apostle Paul deeply rooted in our hearts and minds. Our Christian walk would be so much easier.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4: 4-7 (NIV).
Lord, help us to take delight in you and your promises. May our be lives filled with delight and adventure.
