Here is a Psalm for our times.
“O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.” Psalm 25: 1-7 (NLT).
Here’s a prayer from “Prayers that Availeth Much” (Germaine Copeland). It comes from Ephesians 6: 10-19.
How often do you remember to do this? #prayer
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).
