God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in the time of trouble.
– Psalm 46:1
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for life and the opportunity to see another day. We thank You that You are still Sovereign and rule over the land. We pray for our leaders on the local, state, and federal levels that they can make decisions that reflect the true love of Christ to all people. Regardless of everything that is taking place with job losses, job uncertainty, and increasing prices, Lord You are still God. No matter what comes our way, our life is still in Your hands. You truly are our source and every other means is a resource You provide. Therefore, we will keep looking to You for guidance, direction, hope, comfort, and strength. You truly are our refuge from all storms and we look for Your continued protection and comfort. No matter what we face, You are always right there with us as we never walk alone. So God, please continue to help us grow in our faith and trust You in the good times, trust You when life gets tough, and to trust You when we become uncertain. Allow us to not grow weary but to continue to persevere as You continue to strengthen and keep us along our journey and may we be an encouragement to everyone we meet this week. Allow our joy in You to be contagious, may the unsaved get to know You as Lord and Savior, and may we be bold to tell the world about just how good You are. We love You and will forever magnify Your name because You are our refuge and our strength.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
