Holy and Heavenly Father, You are in charge of human history and You will bring it to an end at Your appointed time exactly as You have predicted in Your Word. We are so glad and grateful that You will not fail in this matter, even as we enter June 2021. We bless You that even in the recent escalation of warfare between Your chosen nation Israel and the Palestinians, You were accomplishing Your purposes toward bringing human history on earth to an end. Truly, You are directing the course of human history here on earth.

Lord, thank You for Your intervention

We had acknowledged that: “in May 2021, spiritual warfare will rage on in our lives and in Your Church, in the nation of Israel and in all other nations. You are the only One who can defend us, deliver us, and defeat our spiritual enemies” (see May 2021). Lord, thank You for Your intervention in the warfare that raged on between the Israelis and the Palestinians in May 2021. In fact, if You had not intervened in this warfare, many more lives would have been lost on both sides. Father, God of all comfort, please comfort all the families that have lost loved ones in this recent warfare. We know each soul is precious to You. Blessed be Your name!  Your restraining power prevailed over both warring factions to bring about the cessation of this warfare which was a manifestation of the warfare in the spiritual realm! Indeed, You make wars to cease (see Psalm 46:9)!

You are directing the course of human history

Gracious and Glorious God, it is a true and trustworthy statement: You are directing the course of human history to its predicted end at Your appointed time of reckoning. The Scripture testifies to that fact. It declares: “the proud look of man will be abased and the loftiness of man will be humbled, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day” (Isaiah 2:11 NASB). It also says:  “In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, in order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, when He arises to make the earth tremble” (Isaiah 2:20-21 NASB).

You are great in mercy

But mercifully, Your appointed day of reckoning has not come upon us as at now. This is because You are great in mercy, abounding in grace, and great in love toward us. Your Word tells us: “’As I live!’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’” (Ezekiel 33:11 NASB). Again, Your Word says: “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 NASB). 

Lord, who can compare to You?

O Lord, who can compare to You in showing mercy and grace to us? Great One, who is so patient and forbearing like You? There is no one like You in showing mercy and grace to the people You created in Your own image. In Your mercy and forbearance, You have preserved us and brought us into a new month, June 2021. 2021 is almost half-way gone! What’s in store for us in June 2021? Will the ceasefire between the Israelis and Palestinians continue to hold? Will the variants of Covid-19 virus continue to surge and spread to more countries around the globe? How will the global stock market fare? Will June 2021 be the beginning of the long-awaited revival for Your Church?

You are all-knowing

We acknowledge that You are the all-knowing God. The future is known to You. You, O Lord, know all about the strategic, military, political, and economical plans and policies the nations are intending to implement in June 2021.  In fact, all that will happen in June 2021 and beyond into eternity is all before You.  That is why we confidently cast ourselves upon and commit our cause to You, our Lord and King, the only wise God. Please, in Your goodness and grace, accomplish what concerns our families, our friends and fellow-believers, and us; Israel – Your chosen nation; Your Church – that is, Your called-out saints, and Your world – made up of all the countries and the lands You created under the heavens – for the glory of Your holy and honored name.

Faithful Father, we surrender our lives to You

Faithful Father, we surrender our lives to You, thankful that what You intend, happens. And that what You plan, stands.  “The LORD of hosts has sworn: “’As I have planned, so it shall be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand’” (Isaiah 14:24 ESV). Moreover, we are assured by Your Word that no one can annul what You have purposed. “For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?” (Isaiah 14:27 NASB).

No one can frustrate what You’ve planned

Since no one, yes, absolutely no one can frustrate what You have planned and purposed, we have the blessed assurance that You will accomplish all that You have purposed for our lives in June 2021 and beyond. O LORD of hosts, we humbly ask You, please thwart all the evil plans formed or being formed against us by our enemies! Trouble those who trouble us!  Please take Your shield and buckler and fight our battles for us! Turn the evil that is meant against us into good for us. Turn the curse of our enemies against us into a blessing for us! O Lord of glory, touch us afresh, for we desperately need Your fresh touch in our lives in June 2021 and beyond! “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1 NASB)! Teach us to do Your will (see Psalm 143:10)!

Loving and Living God, enable us to love You

Loving and Living God, enable us by power of the Holy Spirit, to love You more. Look to You in all of life’s circumstances. Lean on You both in times of happiness and hardships in our lives. Listen attentively to Your still small voice. Learn at Your feet daily. Long and thirst ever more for You. Live for You each day that You give us Your gift of life.

You are able to do far more than we ask

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21 NASB).
