Good morning Beautiful people,
I hope everyone is rested and ready to begin another week! Certainly a lot has transpired over this past week. Our prayers go out to the families affected by the tragedy in Colorado. It was quite shocking especially for my husband and family who call Colorado home. We have so many friends and family still there so naturally this has been overwhelming to watch unfold. It is during these tragic events that the nation as a whole turn to God. The separation of church and state suddenly becomes a unified entity, as the nation begin to call on God. They seek Him for answers of why this happened. They pray to Him for comfort, healing, and strength. After the grieving process is over, we cease to pray anymore. We (the world in general) no longer acknowledge the God that brought us out. WHY??
He instructs us to pray without ceasing, and to give ourselves continually to prayer. This is a daily part of life that we cannot afford to live without. In other words we don't wait for calamity to strike the land before we acknowledge our Creator. We are to watch as well as pray continually. So the hope for us as believers is to do our part and keep prayer at the forefront of our lives. However you choose to do.....just do it...Pray! Pray for our nation, our leaders, our families daily.
"This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ."
We must become unified in prayer because, it is only in our coming together that we will experience the fullness of our Lord. When he instructed us to pray collectively, he said, " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray ".......(people represent nation, community, citizens, population, etc.).
