Prayer

I'm so thankful today for God's blessings and at the same time I feel as if my heart is breaking. I woke up with thoughts of the recent tornado victims in our area and the students at the Illinois University on my mind. It seems the devil is on a rampage of destruction. It bothers me that tornados and such are considered "acts of God", I personally don't agree with that. God loves us and only wants the best for us. So many don't understand that the devil is out to kill, steal, and destroy everything God loves. We that are Christians have the power and authority to defeat the devil through prayer and faith. I am in prayer for those families whose homes and hearts are broken. I am in prayer for those who are battling illness. I am in prayer for those who are battling the devil for their children and families. I know that our Savior has already won. I also know from personal experience that the Lord can bring us through anything the devil will try to defeat us with. I'll share more of that personal testimony as the Lord leads me to, but for now I just want you to share in prayer with me that God's love will reach those who are hurting and struggling with the loss of loved ones. If you are going through a struggle of your own just remember that we have an all powerful God who can handle any problem, in our weakness He is strength and in our sorrow He is hope and comfort. Cry out to Jesus, He will be there.
