Bible verse of the day:
Daniel chapter 2:20-22-Daniel answered and said, blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belongs wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

Prayer Request: 
Pray for Israel at this time of great change and great questioning. Pray that the Israelis that they would turn their hearts to the Lord and say, the Lord should lead us.
Pray for this election. Pray that God's will will be done. Pray that people are elected and put in place who will be wise, do God's will, and be kind to the Jewish people.
