There have been recent reports with statistics that indicate the crime rate in our public schools continues to fall. We might attribute these facts to more and more people are praying for the safety of our children and God is answering our prayers. We could also proclaim that the children of this generation have a keen sense and awareness of their own relationship with Almighty God and are themselves praying daily and seeking God’s help for their lives, their teachers lives, and their parents lives.

Heavenly Father we pray for Your Blessings on our children of this generation. Many of these children do not have the benefit of living in a two parent home.  We pray especially for single parents. Give them Your Wisdom, Your Insight, Your Understanding, Your Courage, and Your Comfort in these troubling times. May each child and their parent(s) form that threefold cord with Your Presence that binds us together in Your Peace that passes all of our understandings.  Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is     Ecclesiastes 4:9-12   &   1John 5:5-8

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. but woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  This is He who came by water {baptism} and blood {sacrifice} - Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is Truth.

For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Ladies and Gentlemen, make a triangle with your index finger and thumb of your left hand and touch the tip of the index finger and thumb of your right hand. Imagine that God is on top of the peak of your index fingers. Imagine you are on the lower right hand corner and your child, your parent, your brother, your sister, your grand parent, your pastor, your teacher, your grandchild, your co-worker or your best friend is in the lower left hand corner.

Watch this now, the closer you get to God, as you move up the index finger towards the peak, the closer you get to each other!  AMEN? AMEN!

This is why Jesus says – If two of you on earth shall agree concerning anything according to My Divine Purposes, it shall be done for you by My Father in Heaven!  Matthew 18:19

We need to pray like we have never prayed before – pray without ceasing – pray for one another!

Whisper prayers of blessings – Sing songs and hymns and spiritual songs making melodies in your heart – Magnify the Lord our God!  Give Him THANKS & PRAISE for He has done GREAT THINGS!

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul – Bless the Lord!
