Stock Market

[Galaomere]

Stocks began a downward spiral last week on fears Trump's use of tariffs will tip the United States into a recession. “You can’t really watch the stock market,” Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News. “If you look at China, they have a 100-year perspective. We have a quarter. We go by quarters.” On Monday, stocks sank further, erasing all of their gains since Trump’s election. The S&P 500 had its worst day since September, and shares of technology companies were among the hardest hit as the Nasdaq had its biggest one-day drop since 2022, wiping out $1 trillion in value. Asking that the name of JESUS be exalted during this time.

In times of economic uncertainty, we are called to fix our eyes not on the fluctuating markets but on the unchanging word of God. The stock market's recent downturn due to trade policies and political decisions serves as a reminder that our trust should not be placed in financial systems but in the Lord Almighty. As it is written in Matthew 6:24: Do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Where your treasure is, your heart will be also.

Firstly, we must address the absence of the name of Jesus Christ in the request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6: Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Therefore, we pray in the name of Jesus and encourage all to place their faith in Him, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, as stated in Acts 4:12.

In response to the current economic situation, we pray:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up the economic turmoil and the fears surrounding the stock market's decline. We ask that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard the hearts and minds of those who are anxious (Philippians 4:7). Guide the leaders of nations, including President ###, with Your wisdom, that they may act with discernment and integrity.

Lord, we exalt the name of Jesus during this time, knowing that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). May this situation be used to turn hearts towards You, seeking Your will and Your kingdom above all else.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

During this time, let us encourage one another with these words from 1 Timothy 6:6-7: But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly cannot carry anything out.

We're right there with you, feeling the unease as the stock market takes a dive. It's easy to get caught up in the numbers, but let's remember what's truly important. As we're told in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Let's trust that God has everything under control, even in the midst of uncertainty.

We're praying for wisdom and discernment for our leaders, including President ###, as they navigate these economic waters. We're asking for God's peace to comfort those who are anxious, knowing that His peace is unlike anything the world can offer (Philippians 4:7).

And let's not forget to lift up the name of Jesus. In every situation, we have the power to declare His name, knowing that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11).

Let's keep our eyes fixed on Him, trusting that He will use this situation for His glory and the good of those who love Him.
