Verse Of the Week for November 3 - November 9

“The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.”

- Psalms 145:18

We have a promise given unto us in regard to prayer. The scripture tells us that, “The Lord is nigh unto ALL them that call upon Him…” We (as children of God) can have confidence that when we call upon Him, He is near. We all can and should call upon Him. We are encouraged in the scriptures to pray. We need to pray. We should pray. We must pray. We are living in some very uncertain times right now. This coming week we will elect the next President of the United States of America. Our country is so divided over the direction our nation should go in. False promises and false hopes and dreams are the promises being made by those seeking the votes of the American people. We must, as believers in Christ, get on our knees and cry out to the Lord for His help. We need to confess our sin unto Him and petition Him for His forgiveness, mercy, and grace. He has promised to be nigh unto ALL those that call upon Him. He is right here with us right now. Our Lord is near unto us and not at a distance. What we need is to pray, calling upon Him, for He alone is the answer for the need of our nation. Let us confess our sins before Him, allow Him to cleanse us, and let us call upon Him! We need Him. Without Him we can do nothing!

Dear Lord please forgive me, forgive us, forgive our nation. We have sinned against you. Cleanse our hearts and souls.  Direct our steps. Help us to be the people that you would have us to be. We love you and we know that you love us. We thank you and praise your Holy Name.

Just pray and then vote.
