NOT. FEAR NOT. FEAR IS NOT FROM GOD.

NOT.  I sure do NOT "feel" courageous or that I have clarity about certain issues that concern me today. Just writing this helps me know that God has all of it under His sovereign control that my job is to pray. I get overwhelmed by the trouble I see, the problems I see and the everyday struggles of godly sisters and brothers. Lawlessness seems global. People want to act on their anger. My heart hurts to see the anger. Truly anger is the larger part of Danger.

Oh God, today we see warfare, we see children and adults riot in the streets, we also see deadly devastation from earthquakes avalanches, fires, floods and disease. People's hearts are failing within them. People are sad, angry and ready to snap. Jesus, is our peace. You fail NOT. Oh God, cause my faith to rise up and overtake all enemy attacks. Please give me Your courage, Your strength, Your gentility, Your great faithfulness and peace. Please cause the angry and those wanting to act in anger to consider Jesus and all His finished work. Thank You God, that we are NOT our own; we are Yours. Thank You for forgiving and saving us. We long for Your return and to be found faithful.

You are the strength of our lives, hearts and faith. Please build us today to stand strong for tomorrow.
We seek to honor You and be found faithful, useful and spreading the gospel. Help us NOT move into fear, doubt or worry. We ask You send peace over Israel and within it's borders according to the power of Jesus' name. Thank You. Amen.
