Amen! "Power in Praise" indeed! "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." (Ps 100:4) Praise shifts atmospheres! Let's praise Him together for breakthroughs. 
**Prayer Updates** 
[Jesus continued,] "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many parts of the world, as well as famines. But this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come."
—Mark 13:8 NLT
Key Thought
The sad reality of our fallen world and our sinful state is that our world will always have war and human strife as well as natural disasters and the human suffering that accompanies them. We must endure these difficult struggles as part of our human lives in a temporal world. However, when Jesus does return in glory, we will be blessed and our fallen world will be redeemed. Glory awaits beyond the gloom of suffering, brutality, and disaster.
Today's Prayer
O Father, please keep hope alive in those whose lives are overwhelmed with suffering and fear. Help me see beyond the gloom of my own challenges and problems to realize that they are part of a world that is passing away. Help me hold on in faith, trusting that the dawn is coming and that your glory awaits all those who love your Son and look expectantly for his coming! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
