Christopher Columbus "It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from there to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit, because he comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures … encouraging me to continually to press forward and without ceasing for a moment they now encourage me make haste."

Our Lord Jesus desired to perform a very obvious miracle in the voyage to the Indies, to comfort me and the whole people of God. I spent seven years in the royal court, discussing the matter with many persons of great reputation and wisdom in all the arts; and in the end they concluded that it was all foolishness, so they gave it up. …"
No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service. The working out of all things has been assigned to each person by our Lord, but it all happens according to His sovereign will even though He gives advice. He lacks nothing that it is in the power of men to give him. Oh what a gracious Lord, who desires that people should perform for Him those things for which He holds Himself responsible! Day and night moment by moment, everyone should express to Him their most devoted gratitude. …"
Christopher Columbus in his own words

President John Tyler -" John Tyler's first act was to proclaim a National Day of Fasting and Prayer, in which he stated: "When a Christian people feel themselves to be overtaken by a great public calamity, it becomes them to humble themselves under the dispensation of Divine Providence, to recognize His righteous government over the children of men...and to supplicate His merciful protection for the future."

"In his 4th Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1844, President John Tyler stated: "The guaranty of religious freedom, of the freedom of the press, of the liberty of speech, of the trial by jury, of the habeas corpus...will be enjoyed by millions yet unborn....Our prayers should evermore be offered up to the Father of the Universe for His wisdom to direct us in the path of our duty so as to enable us to consummate these high purposes."

Lord, I pray for the All Nations on this Earth.

For the injustices that Your children face everyday. For our Leaders hearts to break for what breaks Yours. For the poor immigrant children being taken from their parents and forced into internment camps in America, to the starving families in Africa, to the Women in India fighting for basic equal rights, to the people of China that have finally stepped out against their Dictatorship, to the people of the Middle East facing hatred from all parts of the World.

Lord, be with us all and give us the strength to fight for Your Truth, not the World's, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thy will be done Lord. Everything we are, for Your Kingdom's cause.

Amen

Praying for all of the nations of the world, including our own nation. Praying that God Himself intercedes, and protects our country, our President, and us the American people, and that all plans that seek our destruction is thwarted and that all plans to twist Truth and His Light is brought to naught. Praying that our President is granted wisdom, discernment, clarity, and that God Himself guides every thought, word, and deed of our President. Father may it be so. May Your Word and Your promises fold out before us, as it is written in Isaiah, in the name of Jesus, amen. (((hug)))
