SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Corinthians 1:8-11

⁸ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the trouble we suffered in Asia. We had great burdens there that were beyond our own strength. We even gave up hope of living. ⁹ Truly, in our own hearts we believed we would die. But this happened so we would not trust in ourselves but in God, who raises people from the dead.¹⁰ God saved us from these great dangers of death, and he will continue to save us. We have put our hope in him, and he will save us again.¹¹ And you can help us with your prayers. Then many people will give thanks for us—that God blessed us because of their many prayers.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we pray for our leaders that they will look to You for guidance and follow Your commands as recorded by the prophets long ago. We want to be a blessed nation and will be so if men and women in positions of authority live godly lives as commanded in Scripture, and those who follow respond in like manner. Help us to be faithful in doing our part. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH---
