Today's Bible Verse
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11-12

Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 88:14-18
It is a terrible thing to feel forsaken by anyone – but, to be abandoned by the Lord is the worst thing that can happen to a believer. The truth is, the Lord has NOT forsaken you – even when you feel that He has. He is always there. What is occurring in our lives is not only known to Him, but He is causing everything to bring Him glory, and doing it for our good (Romans 8:28).
Verse for Meditation: Verse 14 – “LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? why hidest Thou Thy face from me?

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.
