A card and a call to pray!

Hello friends! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and that your week is off to a wonderful start!  If you are in the US, I hope you have been praying for this vote tomorrow, and that above all, you will get out and vote!  If you are not in the US, I hope you will join us in prayer for the outcome of this vote as well... as I don't think ever before there has been a race so close, and with sooooo much at stake!  We know that God puts men and women in positions of leadership, and He takes them down, according to His unfathonable will.  We may differ on our viewpoint of who would be best for America, but ultimately, we need to be praying for whoever He allows to hold this office and for all our leaders that they will turn back to God and seek His face in all decisions they make!  I received an email this morning that listed Scriptures to use as the basis for our prayers, and I decided to share it with you here.  I hope you'll indulge me as I feel compelled to add this to my post today:

It is critical that Christians pray for the coming presidential election. The power of prayer can overcome any obstacle or ungodly influence and, indeed, do great things!

II Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, will heal their land.

Acts 17:30 - Pray for repentance for yourself and for our nation.

Proverbs 16:13 - Pray that our nation will listen to the truth and not be led astray.

Psalm 125 - Pray that those who trust in the Lord will not be shaken.

Psalm 86:14-17 - Pray that the Lord would defeat those who have no regard for Him in this election.

II Kings 13:16 - Pray that the Lord would put His hands on the man of His choice for president (and his team) and guide them.
.

Daniel 2:20-22 - the Bible tells us that God sets up kings and God deposes kings. God is in control.

Luke 12:54-57 - Pray that God's man and our nation will be discerning and do what is right.

Psalm 16:7-8 - Pray that the Lord would give wise counsel and guidance to His choice for president in this campaign.

Proverbs 1:5-6 - Pray that God's man will listen with discernment, add to his knowledge, and receive wise counsel in this campaign. 

John 16:33 - Pray that the man of God's choice would be given wisdom and ability from the Lord to overcome any obstacle or difficulty during this campaign.

Philippians 4:13 - Pray that the Lord's choice for President will have special strength and unusual ability from God.

Psalm 18:32-36 - Pray that the Lord would arm the man of His choice with strength; would guide him in battle (this election); and would sustain him and give him victory.
 

Hebrews 11:32-34 - Pray that God's man could, through faith, persevere and maintain his courage throughout this election.

2 Corinthians 12:9 - Pray that the Lord would empower and enable his man in any area of weakness.

Habakkuk 1:5 and 3:2 - Pray that the Lord would do something that would utterly amaze us and give His servant victory. 

Thank you for praying!  May God be merciful to sinful America and forgive our land for all the ways we have turned our back on Him!  

Now for my card today....

I created this card with this month's release from Our Daily Bread designs, The Babe.  It's really a precious image, and although I feel very uncomfortable and unworthy to color any image of my Lord and Savior, I did attempt this one.  The image is stamped with Memento and colored with Copics, then highlighted with Spica glitter pen.   The embossing folder is Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder, and the Spellbinders used are: Labels 8, Grommet Tags, Petite Ovals Large.  The peeling paint wood dp is a scrap from my scrap box and I don't know the name.  The twine is from the jewelry dept. of Hobby Lobby.

I hope you've enjoyed my card today, and thanks for your prayers!
