When I published my Saturday\u2019s blog and this image: \u201cBreaking News \u2013 God is still in Control OF EVERY SITUATION \u2013 No Need to Panic\u201d, I had no idea of the horrendous events that would take place later in the day. One of my blog readers commented with this one word: \u201cProphetic\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I type this blog today, I am remembering my South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas. I was in my 10th grade geometry class. Over the PA system our principal announced: \u201cIt\u2019s time for us to stop and pray. Our president (John F. Kennedy) has been shot\u201d. A short while later, he came back on the speaker: \u201cOur president is dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those could have been words spoken by the media on Saturday after the foiled attempt to kill President Trump. But God! We have been shaken as another senseless act of violence has happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our prayers are with the family of the one who lost his life, those injured, and the brave individuals who put their lives on the line for President Trump and our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sing this old song that reminds me WHO our anchor is in times like these:
In times like these we need a Savior;
In times like these we need an anchor.
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Rock is Jesus, yes, He\u2019s the One.
This Rock is Jesus, the only One!
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Heavenly Father is not caught unaware. He stands ready to respond to our needs when we humbly ask for divine intervention in the affairs of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please! Let us pray for America, a nation whose pledge of allegiance recounts that we are \u201cone nation under God,\u201d and whose currency states that it is \u201cin God we trust”. If anything good comes out of Saturday\u2019s circumstances, I pray that we encounter the God Who rules over our country. “…..the LORD God Almighty is His name.” (Amos 4:13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is the One who gave us this promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: \u201cIf 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 will forgive their sin and will heal their land.\u201d
As we humbly and diligently seek Him, we\u2019ll be changed, and we\u2019ll see transformation in America through prayer. God reigns supreme and His eyes are not shut to our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I pray that we come together in unity and pray for our nation, for those affected by this tragedy, and for our leaders. May God\u2019s wisdom guide us, His strength uphold us, and His peace fill our hearts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
