Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 73:13-17
The psalmist expresses deep emotion over what appears to be the injustices of life – the prosperity of the wicked vs. the suffering of the righteous. Speaking from a purely human perspective, he wonders what good it has been to seek the Lord, be cleansed of his sins, and live godly before the Lord. He also realized that if he told others how he was feeling, they would be offended. Nothing cleared up until he went into the presence of the Lord in the “sanctuary of God.” Then he clearly saw and understood.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 17 – “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understand I their end.”

Today's Prayer
“Help me, Lord, to trust You when I don’t understand, and it is too painful for me to handle.”
Prayer Center
As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. We feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and wellbeing of our families, ministries and leaders; for the spiritual awakening of the unsaved so they to come to true salvation in Christ; and of course for one another and anything that the Lord places upon our hearts.
Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. Each Monday we publish prayer needs and invite fellow believers to pray.
