“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.” (James 5:13)

As we witness moments of victory and joy, may we join together in songs of praise, celebrating the faithfulness of God to His people.  In times of trouble, let us also turn our hearts to prayer, lifting up the nation of Israel before Him.

Lord, let our prayers and praises form a shield of faith around Israel. Help us stand firm in both trials and triumphs. Amen.
