I am linking with Angie at Free Spirit Haven to share prayer requests.
Oh, I could fill up this page with requests. So many of our friends on here are hurting. I keep so many of you in my heart and prayers, but right now our country is at the forefront of my mind. As you have seen from my previous posts, there is a Muslim gathering at Capitol Hill today. God loves these people and wants them for His own. Please pray for these people and for this country.
The hardest person for me to pray for is President Obama. I know I should honor him as our leader, but I don’t respect his policies or his beliefs — at all.
We are to pray for our leaders. I know, I know. I do, I do.
Please pray about Obama’s lack of support for Israel. Nothing surprises God, but having a child definitely raises the stakes for me.
I just have a lot of of concerns. I’m sure many of you are with me. I know that God holds our future.
Psalm 18:1-6
I love You, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death encompassed me,
And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.
The cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice out of His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
Sister Beth, I've been feeling heavy about this and in my prayer yesterday, the Lord showed me Psalm 5. I requested my hubby to be prayerful, not only about this gathering today at DC but especially for the Pres.
It is the Lord's battle and I pray that the Lord forgives this nation who seems to be turning their backs on Him, starting from the leader.
I've posted a video in my post last night. May the Lord help us and protect us!
PS
No offense meant to others…When we post about funny stuff or other stuff, there are lots of commenters. But when it comes to serious stuff like these, hardly…I know that Christians are to love others as commanded by the Lord. But we seem to not practice righteous anger. I think it's okay to be angry when it comes to those things that do not honor God but in our anger, we must not sin [Ephesians 4:26,27]. I brought it up because I've been praying too that the Lord remove any blinders not only with unbelievers' eyes but even with our own Christian bros. and sisters. Blessings to you.
Sorry…Came back. I didn't mean we, Christians, should commit violence. We can all pray together. Sorry for rambling…
I thought about today and what will be happening at your Capital Hill. Already been praying sis…
Thanks for standing in the gap with me for all of God's children.
((hugs))
Yup, sometimes what God wants us to do might the be the most hardest thing of them all.. but pray we must. Pray that God's WILL, will be done. Regardless of who is in power, God will still make His perfect will come to pass.. but we got to pray. I will praying all the way from London, England..
Much Love… xx
I've ALREADY been standing in prayer Beth. I understand and agree. The needs are great and many.
And what is going on in the world had better get the attention of Christians. We are to pray, pray and pray.
We are seeing this nation and the world declining in so many ways. In the last 8 months we've seen the President and government changing things even more and it's NOT the change I believe in!
I saw this coming!
Morals, manners, reverential fear of GOD, worship of GOD, appropriate treatment of each other. Respect is flying out the window and we had better keep PRAYING.
I'm standing in prayer with you!
I am praying and will keep praying – God is still in control! John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of GOOD CHEER, I have overcome the world."
Oh–I am so with you, Beth! My heart sank when I heard him say he wouldn't support Israel. I feel this is the real begining of the end for America. (Felt that way right after the election, too.) I hate to say it, because I hurt for my little grandchildren, growing up in this world. I know God will have mercy on them, but how much mercy will He have for a nation that has turned its back on the appple of His eye? Right now, I am praying that He will have mercy on all of us and I know that His will is going to be done–it is all in Revelation–and we know that in the end–He wins, and as Christians, so do we. I am glad to know that there are others who are paying attention to what's going on.
Joining you with your concerns, and prayers sis, love you.
This is a scary time we live in! Definitely joining you in praying!
God is in control. he knows what's happening. i'm praying…
