Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook. ...

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18
).
).
God loves you and cares about you. He always wants to see you win and
live happy every day. Jesus said, “…In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Never allow circumstances frustrate you; train your faith. Regardless
of what you face, tell yourself, “All things are working together for my
good” (Romans 8:28).

2 Timothy 3:12
says, “Doubtless, all that’ll live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution”; it’s part of the deal. But the beautiful part is that
you’ll always win, because you’ve been called into the triumphant life.
Things might not exactly be going as you’ve expected, but maintain your
composure and confession of the Word. Don’t accept defeat. Don’t give in
to sickness or anything that hurts. Don’t say, “I’ve been infected,”
just because you noticed some symptoms in your body. You belong to the
“new creation” breed.

Symptoms or the doctor’s diagnosis shouldn’t change your confession.
Keep the Word in your mouth. How you feel or the figures in your bank
statement don’t change who you are. The things you see with your
physical eyes are temporary; that means they’re subject to change.
Therefore, set your faith on course. Your faith is the victory that
overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).
).
Every adversity you face is your opportunity to experience and
manifest the glory of God: “For our light affliction, which is but for a
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17).
No matter what you go through in life, it’ll turn out for your good, as
long as you turn your eyes away from the conditions or circumstances,
to the Word. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith….”

|| James 2:17-22
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a
man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith
without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou
believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith
without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how
faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? |||| 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
AMPC For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the
passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing
and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure,
excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and
transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], 18 Since we
consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that
are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and
fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and
everlasting. ||DAILY SCRIPTURE READING
