Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 87:1-7
The agony of one who is experiencing great difficulty and pain in life is being portrayed. His prayers have not brought the results he desires, and his soul is crying out to God in the midst of his trouble. This passage can often represent what the believer goes through from time to time. Where is God when you are hurting so much? The Lord has not departed, but is simply working out His plan in our lives, a plan that we do not see or understand. Our task is to trust Him with all our hearts!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 2 – “Let my prayer come before Thee: incline Thine ear unto my cry.”

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.
