                   "How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust

under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,

And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.”‭‭   

 

 Psalms‬ ‭36‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

 

Dear Friends,

 

      In the midst of all that is going on in our lives and on the earth, let’s daily remember and receive the precious lovingkindness of the Lord, our God! His love reaches to the heavens and His faithfulness to the skies (Psalm 36:5 NIV). Because of God’s lovingkindness, may all humanity put their trust under the shadow of His wings…no longer leaning on their own understanding, and frantically trying to figure things out, but acknowledging Him in all their ways, submitting all their ways to Him, and then, He will make their paths straight. God’s immeasurable love offers everyone an impenetrable refuge from chaos and an invitation into peace and safety through His presence. The picture in this scripture is likened to a bird protecting its young and this is who God is…a Creator who cherishes His creation! (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:5-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

 

     As those who pray, let’s take our place on the wall of prayer and speak the eternal word of the Lord over every person, place and circumstance… for the word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12 NIV), bringing forth light to see clearly; truth to lead us; correction where needed, producing alignment, transformation and fullness of life.

 

     May all humanity be abundantly satisfied with the fullness of God’s house, recognizing the limitations of their own resources, but receiving drink from the river of God’s pleasures which are eternal (Psalm 16:11 NIV), because in His presence is joy and at His right hand are eternal pleasures…with God is the fountain of life and in His light we see light…with the Lord is a constant flow of life and light. In His presence we can be filled to overflowing and receive the spiritual insight and truth necessary to navigate every moment of every day in all that crosses our path individually and collectively as humanity.

 

     Our Mighty God is the Creator and Sustainer of ALL life…“he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” (‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬). He longs for us to make Him our sole source so we can have true understanding and wisdom through His guidance in these challenging times.

 

     My friends, let’s not delay! Rush into the presence of the Lord and sit with Him. Be still & know that He is God (Psalm 46:10 NIV), and that He rules over ALL things…And He will keep those in perfect peace whose minds are focused on Him because they trust Him (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV). Jesus is trustworthy, so set your thoughts on Him daily and rest in His control. Amen!

 

 

Confident in Christ,

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.  The goal of this observance is to gather people from all walks of life, cultures, and professions to agree in prayer for city, state, nation, families, and vocations.
