Does craziness seem to be everywhere?

Prayer Focus week 34 (Sunday-Shabbat)

Everywhere we turn we continue to hear of illness, craziness, hurts, chaos, offenses, etc. Why? Could it be that as a nation we have turned our backs on The Answer, the One Who created us. The god of Islam is so different from our God. Islam’s god demands you sacrifice your son; whereas, the God of the Bible gave His Son that we might know Him. What a marked difference! What a privilege we have to serve Him! 2Chronicles 7:14: if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Let us pray for our nation and turn from our own agendas. (Remember, you (and your life) may be the only Bible some people ever read.).

 
Verse to memorize:  Meditate on the last verses: what wonderful promises our Protector gives us IF we love Him and walk in His ways.
o    Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust (Psalm 91:1-2, NIV)
o    Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart (Psalm 91:3-4, NIV)
o    You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. (Psalm 91:5-6, NIV)
o    A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. (Ps 91:7-8, NIV)
o    If you make the Most High your dwelling – even the LORD, who is my refuge –
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Ps 91:9-10, NIV)
o    For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; (Ps 91:11, NIV)
o    they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. (Ps 91:12, NIV)
o   You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
 you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.” (Ps 91:13-16, NIV)
 
Prayer:we blessed to be allowed to intercede for the needs. Some answers come within a few days, others may take weeks or months. Regardless of what we see with our natural eyes, HE is working. We need to continue to be faithful inintercession!
 
“Holy, precious, Mighty God. We come before Your throne with our requests. Thank You for never being too busy to hear us, to answer us, to intervene. What a wonderful Father You are. Thank You for healing these who are struggling physically, emotionally, mentally. Protect our soldiers. Bring Your peace to Jerusalem and to our country. We love You! In Your Holy Name we pray.”
