Gracious and awesome God, we come before You today asking for guidance, peace, and courage. There is so much in the immediate days that we don't know, and there are so many pieces that are beyond our control. Thank You, God, that in stretches like this, we can turn to You. You are mighty, and You are able to lead us through whatever may come. You are wise and supremely creative to see pathways for deliverance and restoration. May we strive to lean into You this season.
"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Please, God, hold us together in our walk with You. Hold us together in our families, and hold us together as a country. You know exactly what is to come. I pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
The only ultimate disaster that can befall us, I have come to realize, is to feel ourselves to be at home here on earth.
