In Troubled Times by Joan Cook
News Event: On The Go will be ministering in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia and Port Harcourt, Nigeria October 19 to November 4. We will be working in partnership with churches, missions, and the Luis Palau Association holding a Love Ethiopia Festival in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. This effort has been quite a challenge yet God has opened the door that no man can shut. Amidst instability, danger, and troubling times, the Gospel must be preached. Pray for Keith and Joan Cook, Feats Of Strength Evangelist Rick Willison, Christian Artists Zach Blickens & White Ribbon Day, Kenyan Evangelist Ben Bahati, and the NGA BMX Team.
When President George W. Bush declared that the United States of America was at war with Iraq in 2002, he stated that the United States will accept no other outcome other than that of Victory. We must take an active role by praying for the president, government officials, our troops, the innocent people in Iraq, and God's will and His glory! Today we encourage you to pause and to meditate on these scriptures.
1) Pray for our Government Officials.
"So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up-- one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword." Exodus 17:10-13
"For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." Deuteronomy 20:4
"In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me." Psalms 31:1-3
2) Pray for American troops and their families.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels. For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, 'Peace be within you.'" Psalms 122:6-8
"For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble." Psalms 143:11
"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16
3) Pray for innocent civilians.
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me." Psalms 138:7
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." 2 Chronicles 32:7,8
"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." Psalms 9:9
4) Pray for God's will and His glory.
"Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me." Psalms 56:9
"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all." 1 Chronicles 29:11
"Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendour and majesty." Psalms 21:5
