Day 55: Storms

I'm typing this during a tornado watch. Lots of praying going on. There have been numerous storms over the past few weeks, along with one tornado that hit a town not far from home. I realize that the weather and the temperature recently have been prime conditions for severe weather. But I know that God will watch over His children and take care of them in such times.

When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
~Deuteronomy 4:30-31 (KJV)

Here, God promises that even though we may experience trials and tribulations (and even a storm or two), He will not abandon His faithful and obedient children. God loves His children, and He will take care of all of us just so long as we honor Him as our Father and follow His Word. That's an awesome relationship, if you ask me. And it just shows how vast and deep God's love is--it has to be infinite to extend to that many people on such an intimate level. God is SO amazing! He is with each and every one of us at all times to guide us and protect us.

Lord, please watch over us. Please keep Your hand over us, and keep us safe this day and every day. Thank You for the countless blessings You have given me. Thank You for my family, friends, and pets; I ask that You please watch over them and keep them safe, strong, happy, and healthy. Please bless them with all of the desires of their hearts that are in line with Your plans. Please watch over those who defend Your name and this country; I ask that You please give them strength and courage and bring them home safe. Please also watch over their loved ones; please comfort them in times of separation and/or loss. Please watch over those who cannot defend/take care of themselves; please bless them with loved ones who will be able to defend and care for them. And please watch over those who do not believe in You, and may they be blessed with good Christian family members and/or friends who can help lead them back to You, Lord. Thank You again for everything (and everyone) in my life. Lord, I ask that You please watch over me, cleanse me of my sins, and continue to guide me down Your path. I love You with all my heart and soul, Lord, and I always will praise and worship and follow You NO MATTER WHAT! In Jesus' name, Amen.


Love and God Bless,
