A prayer, for those who are persecuted.

Father, it only seems right to lift up the Ukrainian people as their country is being destroyed. Watch over them, as those who do evil to them, will face the judgement of God. Not only watch over them, but ALL, who have been unjustly persecuted for following in your ways, for doing what is right, before you. May your will, be done. May you change the hearts of those who have been deceived by their own self righteousness.

One Day

Our Hope is not in Earthly things (See notes below).

Our Hope is not in our local, regional, or international leaders, or our nation. Our Hope is in the one true God, who knows all things and his plan marches on, in spite of those who stand against him. His plan is to rescue all those who turn to Jesus, his son, that they might be restored to a right standing before him. For those who turn to him for their Hope, there is both blessing and forgiveness, for what is behind us.

This is not an external act of religion, but a reflection of a change of heart, by faith, based on love. Lord, may we be a people of Love, based on a changed heart, by the work of your son Jesus.

We pray today and everyday Lord, we will find my rest and peace in you. May we look to you in all things. You are the solid Rock upon which we Stand.

Rev 20:6. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Reveal to me my sinful ways Oh Lord, that I might turn from them, and lay them at your feet. Lead me in your everlasting way. Jesus is the Way!

Believers have nothing to fear, for even Satan’s hosts with their perversions can’t take them out of the Lord’s hand. Here, as in 2:18–27 , protection against error or victory over it are guaranteed by sound doctrine and the indwelling Holy Spirit who illumines the mind.
