Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; Isaiah 46:9–10 WEB.
During a sci-fi night at our house, we watched some heroes frantically trying to disarm a bomb that was quickly counting down to zero. 10, 9, 8, 7, it looked like certain death for our friends, but suddenly the timer stopped at one. Then I thought, "Ah, it always stops at one!" The drama, fear, and panic were a waste of energy, though exciting while it was happening.
We often silently wrestle with troubles like this in our minds. Even while others are talking to us, we will be mulling over the pending disaster that we know is coming and right around the corner. Yet, God is the only one that can see your end from the beginning. He knows what is coming and how to prepare you for tomorrow.
So many times, I have worried about what was coming. I could see the timer counting down to the deadline, and the closer it got, the more nervous I became. Yet, every single time, God came through. The timer never reached zero, and most of the time, it was a lot of worry for nothing.
Once after being out of work for several months, when we could no longer pay the utilities, we were packing to move out of our home. On that Tuesday morning, He spoke to me. By the end of the week, I had the best job I ever had, and someone suddenly stepped in and paid all of our bills for the month. Once again, the countdown never reached zero.
That fear that we carry in the back of our minds, the one that will destroy everything we know, will not happen. Though it looks terrifying, and there appears to be no way to avoid it, the timer always stops at one. God will defuse the situation. So don't give up yet, and don't trade your faith for fear. He will come through before the countdown reaches zero.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that you bring peace to my mind today. Touch me with Your presence, and let me know I am not alone. I look to You for protection and provision. Please remember me today, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
Note: Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12-13) ~ If you have a prayer need, we are here for you!

Please Father just leave me a second on the clock and restore my marriage. I love my wife and none of this has made any sense. Its been 3 months and nothing has happened. I know you know why im just trying to understand myself. As always your will be done in my life. Even if its not bringing my wife back. Just help me to see it. Amen. Please keep praying for me and God bless us all

Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for always being with me and for protecting me from harm. The enemy always tries his best to do me harm as I always seek you as my savior, counselor and best friend. Without your guidance I am truly lost and I am so thankful that I can lean into you knowing that I am safe, secure and so loved and that is the best feeling in the world. In Jesus precious name I pray, Alleluia ❤️, Alleluia, ❤️, Alleluia🙏🙏
