Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 44:18-26:
The cry for help is a common one – not always is the answer given that we wanted. God’s timing is quite different from ours. The psalmist is very aware that God knows everything he is experiencing and more. He has not forgotten the name of God, and simply wonders why there is no answer from the Lord. We all need to learn that God has not forsaken us and that He does hear us. Our job is to wait on Him – His way is always best and perfect – just what we really need!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 21 – “Shall not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.”

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.
