We are living in a time of wars and advent of additional wars; one country is fighting against another country then another joins and then still another. People are losing their lives and properties, and economic collapse, hunger, and starvation were beginning to be less and less only to see a rebound. Many are afraid for their lives or at least stressed over the lifestyle they knew and appears slipping away. While President Trump has brought evidence of positive change and hope it equally appears forces of darkness are strenuously opposed to any good or positive he does. Political forces of darkness have joined hands to gut any and all changes he has accomplished to help bring a light back to America.

Insecurity and lack of protection are seen among us in many communities. The blatant attacks on our nation’s principles, beliefs, history and way of life by Islamic followers determined to bring America into full submission to Islamic ways is another dimension of tension communities are facing. What once was held respectfully even sacred, like our children, appears to be fading, and even more alarming, by schools promoting diabolical schemes and alterations heretofore unheard of.

In such a period as this, we need to anchor our trust in God’s word to find confidence in our lives. For He will never leave us nor forsake us, He will always guide and protect us in the midst of any difficult situation.

These are some Bible verses that will help us understand that His protection is upon our lives:

Forgive us, Lord Jesus, for doing the things that make us uncomfortable and guilty as we pray. We say we believe in God, and yet we doubt Your promises. We say that in God we trust, yet we worry and try to manage our own affairs. We say that we love You, O Lord, and yet we do not obey You or Your Word. We believe You have the answers to all our problems, and yet we do not consult You. Forgive us, Lord, for our lack of faith and the willful pride that we have that ignores Your way, truth and life. Please reach down and change the gears within us that we may begin to move forward with You and in You regardless of the conditions in this world. Thank you Jesus, thank you. Amen
