pray for our country

This is not meant to be a post about politics or division. Simply I want to share my position and plea to God for our country.

My prayer is for peace and unity. Asking God for others is called intercession, and this is something Christians are encouraged to do. Pray for others. Pray for those in need. When you feel you can do nothing else, you can pray.

Spend time praying. Spend time looking to God for what is happening around us. But don’t be eaten up by all the negativity. Remember that God is always, always in control. God is always working. His good will come out and many lives will be changed because of what God is doing.

Seeking the blessing of God for you and for others.

Psalm 33:12 NASB

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Make sure that prayer is a priority for you and for those you influence.

2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Do what saved people, changed people, God followers do… don’t let what’s wrong with the world take what is right with you away. Seek God and His goodness. Pray and believe that God is working and will bring about what is best.

Psalm 1:1-3 NLT

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. 2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. 3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

Finally, I believe that we still have a mission from God, a purpose to fulfill and that there are needs to be met. Do all you can with the blessings God has placed in your life to do all the good you can for as many people as you can. Does that make sense? It should.

Proverbs 3:27 NLT

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

I believe that we need God. Our nation needs God. When we confess that fact and believe that fact, blessings will come. I leave you with that truth.

Matthew 5:3 GWT

Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation. We come to Friday. The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good? Jesus was treated as a criminal. He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him. His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure. That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the Passion of the Christ . Yet it is a good day. It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart. What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me: He is Redemption and Redeemer He too our Pain and Punishment He is our Righteousness and Reality He is the Savior and Life All of those happened from the cross. It was meant for the worst lawbreakers. It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law. It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus. Look
