Prayer Changes Things

Initially, the awakening or resurgence of individuals who were unaware or uninterested in news headlines increased in astonishing numbers.

Despite fear tactics and intimidation  people are more likely to engage and participate in the process of making positive changes.

Crime rates have risen and people are becoming more aware of their roles in societal change . Unjust behavior and cruel or inhumane treatment have resulted in an unfair amount of suffering for those who have been mistreated and abused.

We must not allow this kind of cruelty to permanently distract us. Instead, we must keep our eyes on the promises of God. Let us maintain our faith in humanity and the God of peace. We must believe in the power of love. The love of Jesus Christ is above all else.

Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him…" 

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." 

Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
