If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Christ knows our hearts. He lovingly wraps His Spirit of strength around those who need to be comforted. And, in moments to demonstrate the power of love, He cradles us in care. He calms us in His shelter of strength and reminds us how it feels to be held. 

Now, more than ever, we need the love of our Savior. He sees each tear that falls and sees the sores of human sadness. He knows the anguish of world and feels the depth of our despair. He guides us to the Father and readies us to trust in the power of His will. He reminds us how peace will prevail.

We will experience sorrow at some time in our lives, and feel the weight of human suffering. But, God will prepare us to faithfully trust in Him. He will give us courage to handle the happenings of our days and remind us to welcome His presence in our lives. 

God will rescue us with the power of love. We must PRAY for those who mourn, PRAY for our country, PRAY for the strength of the Savior and PRAY for courage to HOPE in the Lord! He will restore us when we PEACE is allowed to dwell. He will bring calm, when we obey His commands and learn how it feels to love one another. 

Dear God, Our hearts are heavy as we consider the tragedies in our world. Hold us in Your mighty arms of strength and remind us to prayerfully trust in You. Lead us from our selfish ways, and allow us to never forget, You WILL heal our land when we learn to faithfully trust in You. Amen
