Abba, I am learning more and more that America has had many heroes in her distant and some not so distant past. That reading and learning or maybe some re-learning, has brought me here today to ask You to again raise up Statesmen who will stand uncompromisingly to defend and preserve the Founding Documents and Liberties that I am confident You inspired for Your Glory and the proclamation of the Gospel of Your Dear Son. I am in awe of Your mercy; we have so corrupted Your world and yet You love us and continue to call us to Yourself.
I thank You that You have through honorable people preserved not only Your Word for us but historical events through various documents and media, victories and even defeats that we may learn. Thank You for honest historians, please let not that calling die. Please ensure the safe keeping of truth for all generations to come.
I am rightly alarmed I think with the state of the world and particularly with this Land. Sometimes I am flabbergasted at the raw ignorance of simple human decency and then I am reminded that man without You is depraved. But with You all things become new. You make life worth living; You bring peace and purpose; You bring wisdom and will to make good choices and wise decisions. You just flat-out make life livable with laughing out loud fun and then when hard and bitter things happen You make it bearable; You even redeem it and help others with it when we trust You with it. All this I know because I have seen You do this for me and many others. So I am praying now for this redemption message to be lived out and spoken out and for others to come to know You and love You. Educate us and raise up heroes in this time for Jesus Name Sake I pray.
Abba, it was an alarming read but I am alerted and better informed now. I don’t want the information to go to waste with me. Will You aid its distribution and may it be that parents and grandparents will heed any warnings You give them in the reading of it. I would that children be set free of these addictions; not only children but adults too. It would be so good, I think, for parents and children to be drawn into face to face personal time together, bonding their souls and hearts in a wholesome way rather than a generation of people be lost in digital fantasy worlds.
I just know that You have plans, good ones, for people in these last days when the souls of men are growing seemingly darker. I pray for the Light of Your Gospel to burgeon in these days and times. Will You kindle the embers of love for Your Word and interest in the hearts of the young and the old? Would you capture the hearts of people to want more than fantasy, but real, honest relationships with each other but first and foremost with You? Thank You for every enlightenment that You bring and I pray I will be faithful with each piece to do just as You will for Jesus Name sake.
Father, I need Your help. Lies are rampant and the ones telling them are many. Your Word tells me what time I am afraid to trust in You, so I am. I am so grateful when my soul is reeling from the onslaughts of filth that You comfort me and You draw me back to trust. Keep my focus upward on You and not these surroundings. I know nothing of the future, what will happen, who will do what but of this I am certain You are my GOD, You are my Father and You are good, and I am safe trusting You.
What is that Scripture? Yes, that’s the one.
You are our refuge and strength; You are ever-present (every moment, not one split second is Your attention diverted from us. You are) with us in all these troubles. So we shall not be afraid even if all the earthly stabilizers we count on give way, even if the mountains (all our heroes) tumble into the depths of the sea (and we see them no more); even if the waters (floods of filth and hypocrisy) rage and foam and the mountains (of virtue) shake at its turbulence. Even so by Your grace and with Your help, we will still trust You. We choose to wait in confidence for the outcomes of all things dear to us because all things good are possible with You. You are great and awesome and on this night we give You praise on the merits of Jesus our Savior, Your Only Son.
(1) God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 3 (2) Therefore we are unafraid, even if the earth gives way, even if the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea, 4 (3) even if its waters rage and foam, and mountains shake at its turbulence.source Psalms 46
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
