Verse of the Day: Psalm 37:1-9 - Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity, for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him,  And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.

Prayer
Pray you'd have mercy and that you would restore security and calm and true peace on that border and let people come back home to a new life.
Pray for all the 101 hostages that are still being held in those terror tunnels in Gaza that you would set them free. We also pray for total victory over all of our enemies, and you would pour out your spirit on the nation of Israel and the Palestinians and everyone else in that region and draw our hearts to you.
