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 108:7-9

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. 8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. 9 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Romans 4:7-12

Abraham Justified by Faith

“Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.” 9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness. 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
