And Jesus answered and said to them, See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.  Matthew 24:4-8 NASB

God, thank You for bringing us together to hear Your word, we are grateful for the times this week we felt Your comfort, grateful for the moments we didn’t even know You were guiding and protecting our steps, oh Lord many are struggling through these crazy days, Holy Spirit, help us lean on You, help us to not worry or try to plan and look for everything that we can do in our own strength, we ask for Your truths to guide us and help us to live lives of joy with You at the centre no matter the situation we are standing in.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
