Things are a bit chaotic, internationally, nationally, and personally today. i am praying for peace. Will you join me?
As NATO meets in New York City, pray Psalm 122:6-8 for Ukraine and that whole section of the world, and certainly for Israel. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. ” Psalm 122:6
Pray for peace in Ukraine and the countries of NATO pledging support for surrounding countries. Talk is cheap; war is horrible; promises made that are not fulfilled are causing death and destruction.
Pray for peace in our cities. Pray for cessation to illegal immigration (and our Congress which appears to be offering noncitizens the right to vote in our elections, debated/passed yesterday. Pray for our governments multiple disarray issues.
Pray for our elections that may well decide consequences we’ve never imagined.
Pray for my husband and me as we attempt once again to move my ill sister to a facility which meets her needs. We are visiting a place here in Florida. While it would be convenient for me to supervise her care, the “how do we make this happen” issues are overwhelming us at this thought.
I prayed once again for clarity on this issue Monday, and yesterday received a call which seems, once again, to make the move possible. Today we will ask the questions and make decisions. thank you for showering us with blessings for peace.
Peace is not just contentment, but seeing what we believe God’s will is in all situations. Thank you.
