Take Me to the River

'God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble. 

 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
    though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 

 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah

  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High. 

 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
    God will help her right early. 

 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts. 

 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has wrought desolations in the earth. 

 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
    he burns the chariots with fire! 

 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I am exalted among the nations,
    I am exalted in the earth!” 

 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah

Psalm 46 (RSV)

Dear Father

Thank you for Your Word. Forgive me of my sins. Forgive us for killing one another in the name of politics. Evil, cease. I desire that You take me to the Holy Waters of Baptism again. So that I might be near the River where You are. Cleanse me in the River of Life Lord. Take away the hate and the images of death. I want to see You. To take Communion. I love Your Holy Sacraments.

 I pray for the Glory Days. And there You are! God in the midst of her. You are there for her in the morning. I see You high and lifted up! Where the streams make glad the city of God. Where You utter a word and the earth melts. You make the wars to cease. The God of Jacob, who sits on the Mercy Seat, You are our Redeemer, You are our God and our refuge. We will be still in this moment. We exalt You among all nations and in the earth for You are with us! We take comfort in You. You are our refuge. We will sing again of Your Great Glory!

In Jesus's name.

Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
