“Be anxious for nothing…!” That is a hard task for me right now as I see and hear so many difficult things including some that are just plain not true! And yet, God didn’t tell us not to be anxious when things seem, in our opinion, to be going well. He said not to be anxious in any circumstance. And besides that, He told us to respond “with thanksgiving”. Now that is almost over the top except for one thing – God told us to do it and that means He will give grace and strength to accomplish it! So how am I doing today? How are you doing today? Let’s focus on some of the things we have for which to be thankful and then come to God in prayer and let our requests be made known to Him. He IS in control! REMEMBER: “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world”!
1. Praise for safety for most Americans through this past weekend as we were inundated with very strange and dangerous weather. You may not know it, but we had a strong tornado come right out of the blue and go within less than 20 miles of our home on Saturday afternoon. And the whole state of Ohio is in a state of emergency because of hurricane force winds that blew for 4-5 hours and took out much of the power in Dayton and Cincinnati. These were all side-effects of Ike.
2. Praise the Lord for the Christian witness that has been brought to the forefront as a result of the candidacy of Sarah Palin! God uses His means to get the job done!
3. Pray for those who are distorting the truth and making lies for political advancement! Pray that truth will prevail.
4. Pray for men and women who are on the radio and T.V. speaking for us as we each personally don’t have a very large platform from which to be heard. Pray for their safety as they confront the issues!
