A prayer for israel


Please join me as we pray for Israel:


Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love for Israel. We join in this love as we pray for those who find themselves in the fog of war this day. Lord, we pray for those who are protesting against Israel today, may You open their eyes and their hearts, that they may see the err of their ways. 

Lord, we pray for Your wisdom, protection, and courage to be with all those on the front lines, and all over this world.

Lord, the entire world is affected by this, for the. lines of love and hate are clearly being revealed. 


2 Samuel 10:12 says this: "Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in His sight."


Let us be strong and fight bravely in prayer for Israel and this world as we see what the Lord will do!


In Jesus' beautiful name we pray, amen.

AHH… LOOK AT THE PRETTY COLORS.



YUK! THAT’S NOT PRETTY, THAT’S CHANGE!


21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

 

Lamentations 3:21-23

 

Well here we are, another summer gone, and the fall season is in full bloom.   Many folks enjoy the fall season, and I get their reasons, but personally, I’m a summer lover.  I surely enjoy a warm evening sitting on the porch, enjoying the cool breeze with book in hand, and no mosquitos!  

 

But, like everything, the seasons must change, and we must adapt and prepare for what’s to come.  WINTER!  Some of you folks look forward to winter.  Everybody has flaws in their life.  Like I said….summer is my friend.  So it’s obvious  I really don’t look forward to change.  Change is a struggle for a lot of us.  Like aging.  That change came so quickly.  Some of you are nodding your heads.  I don’t know when it happened, but one morning I saw my father staring back at me in the mirror. 

 

For some, change can be a challenge, or downright scary.  All of a sudden my keys seem to have grown legs—“Where did they walk off to this time?”  I noticed people drive a lot faster, even on Sunday!  And a pain in my joints all of a sudden showed up.  And when did they start hiring 18 year-old doctors, and why are people whispering so much?!

 

There are so many changes  in life, and during those changes, they can be challenging to say the least, but God gave us something that never changes.  He gave us  something that gives us the steady security we need to get through life’s changes. As today’s scripture tells us His great love and compassion for us, is everyday.  It never changes!  Finally! Something in life that stays the same!  Even in the most challenging and devastating times in our lives…. He never ever changes, and I am so grateful.  Where else can I go that will help me through the changes in life? 

 

Dear brother and sister, if you’re in a season of change, and it’s a struggle, or downright painful, and you feel like your whole world is on fire…..Right now, this very second “Stop! Drop! and Pray!”, and come to the God Whose compassions and love NEVER fail, and are new everyday.  And when you do….be prepared for another change.  A change for the better.
