Overcomes
Storm
Prayer
That
the
some catastrophe that's just happened, or being
warned of one that's about to hit.
Second Timothy 3:1 says, "In the last days
perilous times shall come." And clearly, those
times are here.
In the midst of everything that's happening,
there tries to arise a horrible cloud of fear
because if the devil can get us into fear he can
get a grip on us. Fear gives him the freedom to
do what he wants to do. It produces all kinds of
evil, both in the world and in our own lives.
But I'm here to tell you that there's an answer
to fear.
The answer is the love of God.
Does it seem to you we're surrounded by bad
news these days?
It does if you're paying attention!
All you have to do is listen to a news broadcast
or check the latest headlines to know we're
living in stormy times.
Whether it's a literal storm like the
hurricanes that hit the U.S. last year, the
devastating wildfires that destroyed large
areas of California earlier this year, political
or economic turbulence, another war or
pandemic breaking out somewhere…trouble
always seems to be threatening. Day after day,
we're constantly hearing reports either about
"When a storm
hits our nation...
we're to use the
grace God has
given us to pray for
Him to intervene
in the situation.
We're to pray for
the purpose of
bringing His mercy
and power on
the scene."
