PRAYER FOR UNCERTAIN TIMES (FROM DAVID JEREMIAH)

After thousands of years of history, Lord, our world should be better than it is.

Yet here we are, facing wars and rumors of war, nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom. Famines. Pestilences. Earthquakes. Persecution.

False prophets deceiving many. Lawlessness abounding. Love growing cold -just as Jesus predicted.

Jesus, who died for our world and will one day reign over its empires. In His Name we ask:

May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May Your Word spread among the nations. May Your plan for history move along its preordained course. And may Your Name be exalted from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

Give us leaders who fear You. Give us missions instead of misery; hope instead of despair; food and water where there is hunger and thirst; peace where there is war. B

Bring healing to the diseased and freedom to the oppressed. And hasten the day when the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.

Amen!
