Weekly Prayer

Father, You are still a Miracle Worker, Healer, and Guide. Grant a miracle for those that have an expectation that You can solve, remove, and heal their situation. Guide us with Your mighty hand. Remove all fear, dread, and confusion. Enable us to stand firm as evil days are approaching. Unite us in prayer and fill us with the confidence to know that nothing can happen outside of divine providence and control. Amen

Psalms 108:10-13

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? 12 Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. 13 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

Romans 4:13-17

Abraham Justified by Faith

13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
