According to the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 31 million people that are currently unemployed.  In the face of the worst economic upheaval and financial crisis since the Great Depression, millions of American families are suffering.  The link to this interactive map below, serves as a vivid representation of just how bad the unemployment rates are county by county within each state only since January 2007 to May 2010.  There is also a YouTube version that is on this web page link:

Heavenly Father, my life and my times are in Your Hands!  Who I AM in Christ makes all the difference in what I believe about my future and that of my families’ future. It is sobering to watch our country’s demise with these millions of people that seem to have NO HOPE!  We cannot depend on the politicians in Washington DC to bail us out.  Our disregard for Your Economy and Your Ways of doing things is what got us into this mess. We as a people must humble ourselves and pray – Seek Your Face, Your very Presence. We must turn from our wicked ways and stop depending upon the government to take care of us.  We must cry out to Almighty God and TRUST that HE IS ABLE to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL that we can imagine.  We must believe that GOD IS, and that He will hear from Heaven, He will forgive our national sins, and HE WILL HEAL OUR LAND!      Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is   Exodus 20:1-18

And God spoke all these words, saying: I AM the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing Mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

Matthew 22:35-40    Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we must stop putting earthly pleasures as our top priority, and stop accepting government controls on our lives. We must stop worshipping the things that we do NOT understand and are NOT part of Almighty God’s Plan.  Whoever commits a sin is a slave to sin. John 8:34   Our national debts are putting us into bondage to anyone and everyone that holds our promises to pay.

Lord Jesus, Almighty God, Heavenly Father, remind us today to put our relationship with You as our top priority, in ALL THINGS!  My heart belongs to You, Jesus! I worship You! 

Rejoice ALWAYS, Pray without ceasing! In EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS, for this is the will of God concerning you in Christ Jesus!    1Thessalonians 5:15-18

Amen and Amen!
