Is God really in control? The concept of the control of God over everything is called the “sovereignty” of God. Nothing gives us strength and confidence like an understanding of the sovereignty of God in our lives. God’s sovereignty is defined as His complete and total independent control over every creature, event, and circumstance at every moment in history. Subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent, God does what He pleases, only as He pleases, always as He pleases. God is in complete control of every molecule in the universe at every moment, and everything that happens is either caused or allowed by Him for His own perfect purposes.
“The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, ‘Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand’” (Isaiah 14:24).
PLEASE JOIN IN PRAYER
Heavenly Father, The Great I AM, Ruler Over Everything and Totally in Control,
We come to You with heavy hearts for what has happened to these United States of America . . . a nation that has turned its back on You, the very Rock on which this nation was founded.
We ask for Your Divine Intervention for an election that has been riddled with malfeasance. Many have indicated they believe post-election will be riddled with strife and major conflict. We ask for Your Supernatural protection against the enemy which seeks to destroy our nation’s sovereignty. Only You can make things right. Only You can turn things around in America. We pray for Truth and Justice and a burning desire for Righteousness. We ask that Truth in Leadership becomes the norm in America.
We ask for Your protection for those serving in our Armed Forces, first responders, and law enforcement. And pray that those in leadership positions are “in-step” with Your Word.
We ask for Your blessings, protection, and direction for those who have been victimized by hurricanes, fire, storms as well as those unemployed, wrongly imprisoned, abused, in failing health, and sex-trafficked.
Please reclaim this country for Your Honor and Glory. Have Your Way with us, Lord. We know that we can cast our burdens on You because You care for each of us and without Your Wisdom, we can do nothing. We pray for the children and young people who are being wrongly indoctrinated by all venues (even in homes and churches). Let righteousness prevail. Please prick the hearts of those who have become lukewarm in their relationship with You. We have been called to evangelize and have shirked our Kingdom duty. We pray for a Spiritual Awakening in America and may it begin with each of us in our daily walk with You God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen
