Watch and See

"Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him." - Isaiah 40:10

"And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'" - Romans 9:20

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." - Psalm 100:4-5

Dear God,

You want me to live with joy. You want me to have that joy even in the struggles I will have. You are Lord and You are in control. You are taking care of me. God, the republican monsters are at it again with an even worse set of things they want instead of the ACA. These things are not good things. You have promised to take care of Your children, the least of these. You are in control. I cannot pray specifically enough so what I ask is that You continue to intervene. That You continue to make sure that the least of these, that Your children, have what they need when it comes to resources and healthcare. 

Thank You.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

I Give You Power

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me." - John 15:4

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." - Psalm 28:7

Dear God,

You give me power and strength. You give me everything I need to face anything, whether good or bad. But I have to stay close to You. I really do not feel strong right now. And I am having a hard time trusting You to take care of things, but God, You have compassion for the least of these and I know You would not allow harm to come to them, so I ask You again to make sure those republican monsters do not cause them harm by stripping away our healthcare. By trusting You to do what is right in this situation, I can be ready for what happens. You are in control of everything that takes place in my life. And you do constantly protect me from dangers. So God, I am leaning on Your power right now. Today is yet another day in which I need You to intervene in a huge way. And thank You for intervening yesterday.

Thank You.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
