Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ~Matthew 6:10
Seasons come and seasons go
Beyond control of human race
Now is the time for our embrace
Of God. We need to know
His will for us as days progress
Descend with clarity, His way
Election nigh, so now we say
To Him, we won't shirk, regress
From Your presence, gifts you've given
To Your people who pray
As it is on earth and in heaven
May it come true in the one
Who honors You, Your plan, Your will
My Lord, we pray, be done.
Amen!
Amen indeed! Praying for the USA from my little corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your prayers for our country, Marja.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteYour image is hilarious in a way with to the left some chocolates with Nutrition Facts.
May the nutrition of those Georgia Peaches have a Healthy and Long Lasting Impact on millions of people!
My feeling is that a record number of sincere Prayers have been going up to heaven—for guidance and for protection.
It reaffirms us all that there IS A God—He Protects His People and Leads US.
May the coming Thanksgiving be a real one for many families to gather around their table and say Praise to God.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette, I must confess that I didn't do that on purpose with the Georgia vote sticker, I was just looking for a way to prop it up in order to get a better photo - LOL! Praying with you that the Lord's impeccable will be done when this election is over. And speaking of Thanksgiving, we should be thankful to God for His blessings every day of the year.
DeleteLove and blessings!
💞🇺🇸
DeleteThanks!
DeleteNow we have living proof that God listens to an entire nation in prayer! Trump already had Divine Intervention and we are being heard...
DeleteDivine intervention for sure!
Delete✝️
DeleteHis will be done. He is sovereign and knows what all is going on. He is not shaken. He is not surprised. He is not worried. My sincere prayer is that whatever happens, we accept and pray even harder for God to be glorified.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Bill! Nothing surprises God and nothing can shake His sovereign will. May we always praise and glorify Him every moment knowing that His will and His ways are always the best. Love and blessings!
DeleteGood early morning Martha Jane. I read this and re-read it....I have peace in knowing that God's Will shall be done. We serve a Good Good Father and no matter what the outcome, God loves us and He will take care of us. Blessings to you my freind.
ReplyDeleteAmen and amen, again, Shug! Yes, no matter what happens in this election cycle, we can rest assured that it is God who is large and in charge, and He loves us without end.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I'll bet there's a lot of prayer for our Nation lately. We are one click away from full-blown Marxism. I really don't think we'll be blessed again, though, until we stop the murdering of untold innocents in the womb and glorifying immorality. This all goes hand-in-hand. We have become a den of vipers. But, that said, I also pray about these things often along with many others. May those with hearts are stone turn to hearts of flesh that their lives may be dedicated to serving Jesus. And may it please the Lord to have mercy on us.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
I have been praying without ceasing, Sparky, as I'm sure so many other people in this nation have. May God forgive us for our transgressions as we ask Him for mercy on our One Nation Under God. Most of all, may His will be done.
DeleteLove and blessings!
As my anxiety starts to ratchet up, I sometimes have to force myself to remember that Jesus Christ has already won the war.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Glynn! There are so many days when I have to stop and reflect on this very point you've made here. Yes, Jesus triumphs!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen.💕
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Like Glynn, my anxiety is right up there. Praying hard!
ReplyDeleteKeep those prayers coming, Myra, and may the Lord's will be done.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen
ReplyDeleteRight back at you, Christine.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen.
ReplyDeleteRight back at you, Terri.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Every time I begin to feel anxious I read my Bible. Reading Daniel 1-2 and Daniel 6-7 encouraged me. Like Daniel we must live as faithful citizens of Gods kingdom, resisting the world’s pressure to conform. Keep praising God for His sovereignty.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Debby, let us all keep praying for our nation and that God's kingdom will come. We are not of this world.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I always love your poetry & yes, I am praying for our country.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Martha
Lulu
So glad you're on board, Lulu. Keep praying!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Thank you for the encouragement today, Martha.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very welcome, Cheryl. Let's continue to pray.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Great Picture, Martha Jane--and had no doubt that you and Danny would get your vote in the bank. Diane and I did that here in Middle Tennessee last week. So, we've done all we could do politically--clarified the policies, encouraged our friends and neighbors to vote, and got our own ballots cast. Now we're engaged in doing all we can do spiritually, which is to pray our hearts out to God continually. So, now we wait and begin to prepare our hearts and minds for the work that lies ahead for us no matter how the election turns out. Our job is not to just hold on till Jesus takes us to be with Him in that other world. But instead, as you have so creatively reinforced in your inspiring, poetic admonition, it's to bring His Kingdom here. May God encourage us with victories on every level tonight and fill us with hope in ways that supersede politics. God bless you again for sharing your gifts and your heart with us in such a beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ron, for your most encouraging words and prayers here. Yes, we should pray every single day not for what we want but for what God wants to be accomplished in our country. Yes, like Diane and you, we went on the first day of early voting, in person, and are so glad we did. There was a line out the door!!! It was so heartening to witness so much eagerness to get it right after Georgia was the laughing stock of the previous presidential election. They got that mess straightened up.
DeleteMay God's will be done now and forever.
Love and blessings!
Amen 🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteYes, and again I say amen!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I'm very nervous about today.
ReplyDeleteJust keep on praying, Debby, keep on praying.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Martha Jane: We have all have had an opportunity to express our desires and vote our conscience. God blessed us with freedom. We MUST remember to pray for whomever wins. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Cecelia! No matter which candidates win, we must pray for our leadership that they make the kind of decisions for our nation that God desires.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen. I've been in prayer all day.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Regina! Let's keep on praying that the results will be what God desires for our country.
DeleteLove and blessings!
A heart-touching, impassioned prayer-poem, Martha! Indeed, may the results of this election honor those who honor God (1 Samuel 2:30), so we might live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness (1Timothy 2:1-2). This is my continual prayer.
ReplyDeleteI so love how you have been praying and that you continue to do so in a way that honors our God. So glad you liked the poem, too.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bill, amen!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Martha.
Thank you, Victor.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks, Jim.
DeleteLove and blessings!
It is what it is
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, Christine.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Well said, life will go one, just take it day at a time and hope and pray for the best
ReplyDeleteYes, Jo-Anne, life will go on and we must continue to pray to the One who knows what's best for us.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, Jennifer.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Thank you, lovely Martha. Love it. And I love how God intervenes in the affairs of his people who pray. I recall sitting in prayer the day of the election, praying from Chronicles that familiar verse. I said, "Lord, it's all we have to trust in at this juncture, that you hear from heaven and heal our land. Though as a collective people, we don't deserve anything but your judgement, as we have sinned against you, encoded in our laws sins, I ask on behalf of your people who HAVE cried out for mercy, who still put their trust in You, that you be merciful..." And last night before I went to bed, late into the night, before the election returns were all in, I rested in peace because it was looking good. Today is a new day, and I still pray for mercy and grace upon our leaders, that they steer this sinking ship to safety. That the transition of leadership be peaceful. Let us continue to pray for peace in the land, and bind the evil that seeks to destroy us.
ReplyDeleteYou've said it better here, Debra, than I ever could. Yes, we have committed so many sins as a nation, but God does hear our prayers and is merciful and forgiving when we put our trust in Him and His will. Let's continue to pray for all our elected leaders that God will guide and protect them and His people.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Good poem! Hope will overcome difficulty.
ReplyDeleteHope and trusting in God will always overcome troubled times, that's for sure.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Powerful, Martha! I just love your poems. And a much needed message this week. I pray to lay down my agenda and pick up the Lord's will. God bless! Karen Friday
ReplyDeleteThat is such wise and Godly advice, Karen. May we all lay down our own agendas and pick up what the Lord would have us do. Thanks for your kind words about the poem, too.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Nice poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Snobe.
DeleteLove and blessings!
thecontemplativecat here. Beautiful poem! May I copy it and paste it on my FB site. I will give you the credit, of course.
ReplyDeleteI would be humbled and honored, Susan. Share away! This is so helpful to me as I gave up FB quite a few years ago. Thank you, my friend.
DeleteLove and blessings!
This is beautiful. It's definitely been an interesting time across our industry no doubt. I appreciate your words of hope. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you visited here and took the time to comment N-Hance. As I wrote this before the election, I'm thankful that my gut feeling was correct. But God's will needs to be done no matter how I feel or think.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Such a beautiful and heartfelt prayer, reminding us of the importance of seeking God's will in our lives. The reference to the seasons as they change mirrors the need for clarity and divine guidance as we navigate the complexities of life. It’s a wonderful expression of faith and surrender, trusting in God’s plan for us. The simple yet powerful plea for His will to be done both on earth and in heaven is a message of hope and devotion.
ReplyDeleteI just shared a blog, please let me know what you think: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/11/why-duex-float-portable-monitor-is-game-changer.html
Your comment here tells it all, Melody. We must learn God's will, His Word, and take both to heart as we navigate the seasons of our lives and grow in His will for us as individuals, communities and a nation founded under Him. If we win or lose on the earthly stage, we always know that Jesus has claimed the ultimate victory over sin and death for all His children. I will check out your new blog, my friend.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Bom dia, Martha
ReplyDeleteLindo poema e versículo, a vontade de Deus é perfeita, Ele cuida de cada detalhe das nossas vidas, bjs querida.
Thank you for you kind comment here, Lucinalva. Yes, God is large and in charge, always.
DeleteLove and blessings!
