"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him."
(the Bible: Nahum 1:7)
******************************************************************************************
We need to be in prayer constantly for so many things. Right at this moment, though, I am thinking specifically of two: the kidnapping of the girls in Nigeria, and the persecution of Christians all over the world. Pray for those girls to be found and rescued; for Nigeria's government to act and for other governments to send some help. Pray for the persecuted Christians - those who are right now being arrested, beaten, tortured, killed for one reason only: that they are Christians. Pray that they will be comforted, even in the midst of their sufferings; pray that they will truly feel God's presence with them wherever they are, and, of course, pray that they will be relieved of their torment and released to their families.
