So many prayer requests, terrible tragedies are being experienced by many people. Prayers of the faithful seem to be unanswered. But as Christians, we respond to the word “seem”, for we know that with God, our prayers are being answered. We know that with God, nothing is impossible. Our faith is in Him as we wait, and our peace comes through Him.
We recognize those around us are losing hope for they are weakened; they cannot see above their circumstances. We must stand in the gap for them by holding them up in prayer and we do. We put on the armor of God, and we fight, for ourselves and others. When we get tired, we do as King David did, we strengthen ourselves in the Lord and we fight some more. We continue this process and we continue this process and we continue this process…to what end? Until we reach the goal that Apostle Paul talked about – Heaven!
Jesus said in 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.”
We all must have scriptures to lean on in these last days. Let’s encourage one another today. Here is one from me:
Psalm 116:1-2 – I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
