What Will God Do?

"Maybe God and prayer are all you have. Your face discouragement, deception, defeat, destruction, death. They roar into your world like a Hells Angels motorcycle gang. Their goal is to chase you back into the wilderness or sin.

"Don't give an inch. You are a member of God's family. You come to God not as a stranger but as an heir. Earnestly make your requests know to Him, not because of what you have achieved, but because of what Christ has done. Jesus spilled His blood for you. You can spill your heart before God. Jesus said if you have faith, you can tell a mountain to go and jump into the sea (Mark 11:23).

"What is your mountain? Call out to God for help.........today! Will He do what you want? I cannot say, but this I can. He will do what is best!"

Praying for our election, taken from "31 Days" by Focus on the Family:

PRAYER FOR TUESDAY:

Day 30:  Pray for God's will in our elections.

"Heavenly Father,

I know You have America's future in Your hands and I trust You. I ask that Your will be done during the elections and that You work through voters to place people in power who will accomplish Your purposes. Bless the election of our new president, members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and other critical races that impact the future of our nation. Give me wisdom in my vote. Thy will be done! In Jesus' name. Amen."
