Peace in the midst of the storm

I pray that you would speak peace into student's lives today, Peace, be still to the winds and the waves that are tossing them to and fro. Let students rest confidently in the assurance that you know the plans you have for them, plans to give them a future and a hope, and that you will never leave them nor forsake them. Let the lies of the enemy be silenced and your truth be the sail that leads them through difficult stormy seas. I pray that your truth would set them free from anxiety, worry, and stress. I pray that they would trust You as the navigator of their lives and that you will get them safely to the shore. Let them trust wholly and completely in you, your Word and your Spirit to lead and guide them in the decisions that they need to make. Open the doors before them that you want them to walk through, and give them confidence to make the right decisions in everything they do.

In Jesus Name, Amen

Murder

My heart is broken at the news that a young college student was found murdered recently here in the Kansas City area. What makes it more heartbreaking for me is that she attended the community college where I work. I pray for her friends and family as they mourn the loss of this innocent young life snatched from this earth too early. I pray dear God that you would mete out your justice in a timely manner and bring the perpetrators to justice quickly.
