STRONGLY HELD BY OUR STRONGHOLD.

"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my
salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2

The globe is in pain. God's love, deliverance and salvation is spreading. There is hope for the hopeless and power for the powerless in His name, in His word, in Him.  We go to Him. We take Him with us wherever we go. He holds onto us and won't let go. We follow Him. I love the dichotomy. His give and take. That He will never leave or forsake us. That He draws us to Himself. That He offers us a place to abide that we are never without rest. That this earth is not our home and that we have heavenly citizenship. That Jesus is our everything, our all in all, always in all ways. We are never without.

God of all grace, Father of mercy, Beginner of all wanders and Ender of every crisis, it is to You we come to ask You inform and form our prayers. That our prayers flow into the intercession Jesus constantly offers on our behalf. Build our faith. Cause us to trust even more. Love You even more. Praise You more. Thank You more. Share You more. Please You more. That we give You all our hearts. That You might be blessed. Help us Serve You this day from wherever we are, imprisoned or free, rich or poor, healthy or sick, whatever our NOW, we give ourselves fully to Your holy heart. You are so good. Please protect my dear friends headed right now to serve You in Kurdistan. May they follow You closely, hear You clearly as You love them and they love You, so dearly. We also pray peace to Israel in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
