Appeals Court Reinstates Hold on
Texas Immigration Law
|
|
A federal appeals court issued an order late on March 19 that reinstates a hold blocking Texas from enforcing a law that enables local law enforcement to arrest suspected illegal immigrants.
This decision came from a three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, voting 2–1 to overturn a previous ruling made by another panel of the same court that granted an administrative stay of the law’s implementation.
The prior Fifth Circuit ruling had temporarily halted an injunction from a federal district court judge in Austin, Texas, that had blocked Texas from implementing the law. The Austin judge’s rationale was that such a law might pave the way for other states to enact their own immigration legislation.
Following the March 19 order, the Fifth Circuit will now hear arguments on whether to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal on March 20, according to the order.
“A majority of the panel has concluded that the administrative stay entered by a motions panel on March 2, 2024, should be lifted,” the unsigned order by the court reads.
Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham dissented from the majority opinion on March 19, advocating for the law to remain enforceable.
He wrote in his dissenting opinion, “I would leave that stay in place pending tomorrow’s oral argument on the question.”

- Abba, it grieves our heart as we are sure it does yours, to have our court system stand on the side of "we the people", only to have another court in the same system block that decision. Father God, our country is so divided and our vision so blinded that even our courts cannot come to agreement on how our individual states are to manage illegal immigrants. We ask for an outpouring of Holy Spirit to spread across this nation to change minds and hearts, to recreate the spirit of cooperation that once moved freely in our governmental agencies and courts.
We speak death to the spirit of divisiveness that has overtaken our nation, to the spirit of pride and arrogance that divides us into those who say they know better than 'we the people' how we are to live our lives and manage our families. We silence the voice of anti-Christ that speaks through the elite who believe themselves to be god. We decree and declare that God Almighty, Elohim, is the only true God and he rules and reigns from his throne in heaven. AMEN and AMEN.
- "But the Lord reigns forever,
executing judgement from his throne,'
He will judge the world with justice
and rule the nations with fairness."

Supreme Court Grants Illegal Immigrants More Opportunities to Avoid Deportation
|
|
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday to allow a lower court to review and potentially overturn an immigration judge’s determination to deport an illegal immigrant, with possible implications for the removal of criminal aliens.
In a 6–3 split decision on March 19, the Supreme Court said that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit erred in determining that it lacked jurisdiction to review a discretionary determination by an immigration judge.
The immigration judge had denied an illegal immigrant’s request to avoid deportation and remain in the United States based on one of four statutory criteria for relief from deportation, namely that of an “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to the child of the would-be deportee.
|
|
|
In the case, known as Wilkinson v. Garland, a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago by the name of Situ Wilkinson overstayed his tourist visa and has been living in the United States for over a decade without lawful authorization.
Mr. Wilkinson was arrested and detained by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), and slated for deportation. However, he applied for relief from deportation, arguing that his 7-year-old son, who has a serious medical condition and depends on him for financial and emotional support, would suffer “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship.”
Congress has granted immigration judges discretionary power to cancel deportation proceedings against an illegal immigrant and permit the noncitizen to remain in the country lawfully.
The immigration judge found that Mr. Wilkinson’s situation did not meet the statutory hardship standard and denied relief, with the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming that denial.
Upon appeal, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals held that it lacked the jurisdiction to review the immigration judge’s discretionary hardship determination. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Abba, our nation is so in needs your help. Our judiciary has become unwilling to stand on the truth of the laws written with our Constitution in mind when dealing with illegal immigrants. It has come to the point that our immigration laws are being ignored and have been determined almost null and void. Jesus, we ask Holy Spirit to move in the minds and hearts of all in our country, give us new vision to see as you see, to walk in the truth as you reveal it.
We ask you to intervene in this situation and move in power to bring into being your intentions for all who have entered our country illegally. Father God, we want to walk this out with you in righteousness, we ask for wisdom, knowledge and understanding beyond our own abilities. We want to be your hands and feet and we want to walk in your truth and your heart. We ask this in the name Jehovah Rohi, The Lord Our Shepherd.
- "And David shepherded them with
integrity of heart;
with skillful hands he led them."

Trump-Backed Bernie Moreno Wins Bruising Ohio GOP Senate Primary
|
|
WESTLAKE, Ohio–Bernie Moreno has emerged the victor in a nasty Ohio Republican U.S. Senate primary marred by outside money from a Democrat-aligned super PAC to prop him up, bickering about which candidate was more conservative, and mudslinging that turned personal toward the Trump-backed candidate.
At 8:35 p.m ET., the Associated Press called the race for Mr. Moreno. State Sen. Matt Dolan and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose came in at second and third, respectively, as at press time.
Mr. Moreno will now face off against Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown in November, in a seat Republicans hope to flip to help take control of the upper chamber.
In his victory speech, Mr. Moreno lauded the former president. He referenced a recent report that a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) poured more than $3 million into TV and digital ads propping him up. The theory, according to some Democrats, is that Mr. Moreno will be easier for incumbent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown to beat in November.
Mr. Moreno said he was proud that President Trump is backing him and said that, under Trump, the country had a safe and secure border, law and order, low interest rates and inflation, and a thriving economy.
Under President Joe Biden, “everything is worse,” he said. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Abba, we thank you that Bernie Moreno won the GOP Senate Primary in Ohio. Thank you that he understands how immigration can impact lives, coming to the US as a child, and that he believes in law and order to maintain safety on our streets. Father God, we also thank you that all 3 candidates have agreed that coming together and standing in unity behind the GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump, is the right thing to do. We ask you to intervene in all primaries taking place across the United States, speak to hearts that have been wounded by words that hurt, by unfair criticism or outright lies. Release your angels of peace, let them pour out peace like a river into minds, hearts and souls that have run in these primaries, bring refreshment, restoration and renewal in all places needing your touch, we ask the same for their families.. We ask Holy Spirit to send out the Spirit of Unity, a unity that is not dependent on agreement but on the desire, on the need to maintain relationships even when those relationships have been stretched through the harsh realities of campaigning. We ask this in the name Jehovah Jireh, The Lord Will Provide.
- "Make every effort to keep the unity
of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
(Ephesians 4:3)

1. Netanyahu to Biden: Impossible to complete victory without entering Rafah - JNS
Israel Defense Forces troops will enter the Hamas stronghold of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip with or without support from the United States, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed on Wednesday.
“There were times we agreed with our friends, and there were times we did not agree with them,” the premier said in a pre-recorded video address to Israeli citizens. “Ultimately, we always did what was necessary for our safety, and we will do so this time as well.”
During a phone call with Netanyahu on Monday, U.S. President Joe Biden stated that he could not support a major military offensive against Hamas in Rafah. Instead, the White House favors a limited operationaimed at high-value targets and securing the Gaza-Egypt border.
Netanyahu on Wednesday confirmed that “President Biden, whose support I appreciate, asked to present us with proposals by his people, both regarding the humanitarian field and on other issues. (Read more)

“He’s going to do what he said he’s going to do. He’s going to finish it,” Senator Jim Risch of Idaho says.
The Israeli leader spoke to Republicans via video link nearly a week after the Senate’s Democratic majority leader, Chuck Schumer, gave a Senate speech branding Netanyahu an obstacle to peace and urging new elections in Israel. (Read more)

4. PM sidelines Gantz in ceasfire talks as tensions mount - Israel Hayom
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to exclude Minister Benny Gantz from decision-making in the negotiations for the release of the captives currently taking place in Qatar, Israel Hayom has learned. Gantz's associates are complaining about the decision, but this is not expected to lead to his party breaking up the emergency government formed after the Oct. 7 massacre.
Netanyahu informed cabinet members of his decision during a discussion Sunday. He said that from now on, the directives for the Israeli delegation would only be determined by himself and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This is in contrast to previous rounds of negotiations, where decisions were made by the Netanyahu-Gallant-Gantz triangle authorized to do so by the security cabinet.
In recent days, the relationship between Netanyahu and Gantz has been described by several sources as the worst since the start of the war. They said it appeared Netanyahu was seeking to distance Gantz from decision-making processes, contrary to the explicit agreement that paved the way for Gantz's State Party into the unity Coalition in October. The parties had then agreed that Gantz would be a full partner in managing all war efforts, including leading negotiations for the release of captives. (Read more)

1. Nearly 30% Of Gen Z Women Identify As LGBT: Gallup Poll - Daily Wire
More than one in five Generation Z adults now identify as LGBT, new data shows, including nearly 30% of Gen Z women.
About 22% of young adults who were aged 18 to 26 last year self-identify as LGBT, according to a poll released Wednesday by Gallup.
This is higher than the nearly one in 10 millennials — those aged 27 to 42 — who identify as LGBT, and even higher than the 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers, and 1% of the Silent Generation who identify as such.
“Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+,” reads the report.
Meanwhile, the general population of adults who identify as LGBT hit 7.6% last year, an all-time high, while 85.6% say they are straight or heterosexual.
Back in 2012, the percentage of those who identified as LGBT sat at just 3.5%.
The increase is driven in part by Gen Z women, almost 30% of whom identify as LGBT, mostly bisexual, according to Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup. (Read more)

- “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures….But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:3-7)

2. Black Biden Voter Rails Against Migrant Crisis Before Show Host Calls Her Out For Voting Blue - The Daily Caller
A black Chicago resident who voted for President Joe Biden railed against the migrant crisis before a show host said she is partially to blame. An audience member lamented the TOBT Show hosts how the government is “bankrupting” the residents in Chicago by sheltering migrants being bused into the city.
“Our taxpayers, we already paid $32 million out of our taxes to house and take care of the migrants thus far,” she said. “Now, we already know the only ones who qualify to become citizens in asylum here if they were here after August. They don’t even qualify. Here, we’re gonna be taking care of them for five to seven years while this paperwork floating on people’s desks and why? Send them home! Send them back! Venezuela already said, ‘Oh we’re not taking them back.'”
Over 37,000 migrants have entered Chicago since August 21, 2022, according to the city of Chicago’s dashboard. The city has established 23 temporary congregate shelters since that time to house the migrants, including space at the O’Hare Airport. The city has begun to evict thousands of migrants from the city and state shelters. (Read more)
- Lord, we pray for all citizens affected by the irresponsibility of our government to protect us, and our communities. We pray Lord that you would comfort these people give them wisdom and strength on how to handle these tough situations. And we pray for our government that they would make better choices and choose to protect the citizens they vowed to protect in Jesus name amen.
- “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:16)

3. Biden finalizes crackdown on gas cars in aggressive move - Fox News
The Biden administration has finalized a slate of highly-anticipated environmental regulations curbing gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions as part of its broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming.
In a joint announcement Wednesday, the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled the most aggressive multi-pollutant emission standards ever finalized. While the regulations target gas-powered vehicles, they are explicitly designed to push wider nationwide adoption of electric vehicles (EV) and, according to officials, are expected to ensure nearly 70% of all new car sales are zero-emissions within a few years.
"President Biden is investing in America, in our workers, and in the unions that built our middle class and established the U.S. auto sector as a leader in the world," White House national climate adviser Ali Zaidi said in a statement. "The President’s agenda is working." (Read more)
- Lord, we pray for our leaders in this administration that they would tackle issues that truly affect our lives, and our communities like illegal immigration, the economy, schools, jobs, etc. Give them wisdom and strength Lord as they make these kinds of decisions so that we can all live in peace and prosperity in Jesus name amen.
- “Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.” (2 Peter 3:17)

4. Georgia judge allows Trump to appeal Fani Willis disqualification ruling - The Hill
A Georgia judge enabled former President Trump to immediately appeal the recent ruling declining to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) for her romantic relationship with a top prosecutor overseeing the election interference case there. In a brief order issued Wednesday, Judge Scott McAfee granted the certificate of immediate review requested by Trump and eight of his co-defendants in the sprawling racketeering case.
They are now expected to ask the Georgia Court of Appeals to take up the disqualification battle before the case goes to trial.
“This is highly significant,” Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead Georgia attorney, said in a statement.
“It means the defense is permitted to apply to the Georgia Court of Appeals for pretrial review of the Judge’s order refusing to dismiss the case or disqualify Fulton County DA Willis,” he added. “The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified.” As the effort proceeds, however, McAfee made clear he won’t pause proceedings in his court. (Read more)
- Lord God, we thank you for this righteous decision from this judge. We pray that this case would continue to progress in a positive way and that justice would truly be served. We continue to pray for Donald Trump and all his family and his advisors that you give them wisdom and strength in all the challenges, they face in Jesus name amen.
- “…strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.”

5. UN secretary-general youth climate adviser calls for Whites to be stripped of power in 'revolutionary fights' - Fox News
A United Nations youth climate adviser has a history of social media posts that call for the destruction of capitalism, claim "terrorism" is used as a Western smear to justify its imperialism and attack White people for purportedly fueling humanity's extinction vis-à-vis the climate crisis.
The United Nations' Secretary-General António Guterres personally selected Pakistani-American Ayisha Siddiqa as one of his advisers to help "accelerat[e] the implementation of his climate action agenda," a 2023 UN announcement stated. Siddiqa was a Time Woman of the Year in 2023 who has co-founded two youth climate activist organizations.
"The Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change provides him with practical and outcome-focused advice… and concrete recommendations, with a clear focus on accelerating the implementation of his climate action agenda. Convened under the auspices of the United Nations [as it]… works to accelerate global climate action," the announcement said.
One of the criteria for candidates landing the two-year assignment was a "demonstrated commitment to the UN’s values." (Read more)

- “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.” (Romans 16:17,18)

6. Letitia James Asks Court to Deny Donald Trump’s $454M Bond Appeal - Breitbart
New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday requested an appeals court turn down former President Donald Trump’s request to reduce or hold off collecting the bond amount of $454 million to cover a civil fraud judgment.
Trump must post a liquid (cash, securities) bond covering the full amount of the judgment to pause enforcement of the judgment, but 30 surety companies told Trump they would not accept real estate assets as collateral, Trump’s lawyers said Monday.
James could seek to freeze some of his bank accounts and properties if Trump cannot post the $454 million bond. Enforcement against Trump could begin as soon as March 25. (Read more)
- Lord God, we continue to pray for Donald Trump and all his family and his advisors that you give them wisdom and strength in all the challenges, they face. We pray Lord, that justice would be done in this situation. We pray that all judges would judge rightly and not be swayed by bribes or political bias in Jesus name amen.

7. Fed holds off on rate cuts, sees inflation on ‘bumpy’ path to goal - The Hill
A committee of Federal Reserve officials voted Wednesday to keep interest rates at a 22-year high after unexpectedly high job gains and inflation delayed plans for possible rate cuts.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the panel of Fed officials responsible for setting borrowing costs, voted to keep its baseline interest rate at the range of 5.25 to 5.5 percent set last July. The FOMC voted unanimously to hold rates steady.
“We believe that our policy rate is likely at its peak for this tightening cycle, and that if the economy evolves broadly as expected, it will likely be appropriate to begin dialing back policy restraint at some point this year,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a press conference Wednesday.
The central bank is not yet confident inflation, which has plummeted since the Fed began hiking rates in March 2022, is on pace to reach its goal of a 2 percent annual rate. (Read more)

In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

8. Chinese Envoy Meets With Hamas, Celebrates Ties With Terrorist Group - Free Beacon
A top Chinese diplomat emphasized China’s relationship with Hamas during the first meeting between a Chinese official and a Hamas leader since the terrorist group's Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs envoy, Wang Kejian, met with the head of Hamas’s political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in Qatar on Sunday. Wang said the Chinese government is keen on maintaining relations with Hamas, describing the organization as "part of the Palestinian national fabric" and advocating for "the Palestinian people's just demands for freedom, independence, and the establishment of the Palestinian state," according to a Tuesday statement by Hamas.
"The two parties discussed political and field developments related to the situation in the Gaza Strip and ways to stop the war and deliver urgent aid, especially in light of the killing, starvation, massacres, and attempts to create chaos," Hamas added in the statement. (Read more)

Stupidocrisy: Paying For Poverty
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 20, 2024
We can all remember leftist-controlled cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago and others were making a deal about being “sanctuary cities.” They welcomed all the migrants or illegal aliens or whatever you call them these days. Little did they know that the open borders policies of Barack Obama and Joe Biden would actually result in these migrants being shipped to their cities. The resultant drug problems, homelessness, poverty, and sharp increases in crime have caused these hypocrites to rethink their policies. Especially when governors in overrun states like Florida, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico called their bluff with busloads of “if you like your illegal migration, you can have your illegal migration.”
In a remarkable turnabout, Economist and Nobel Prize winner from Princeton Angus Deaton is rethinking his commitment to free trade and mass migration because these policies, in his opinion, harm American workers and do nothing to reduce global poverty. In a column written for the International Monetary Fund, Deaton opines, “I am much more skeptical of the benefits of free trade to American workers and am even skeptical of the claim, which I and others have made in the past, that globalization was responsible for the vast reduction in global poverty over the past 30 years. I also no longer defend the idea that the harm done to working Americans by globalization was a reasonable price to pay for global poverty reduction because workers in America are so much better off than the global poor.” Read More

Alabama Governor Signs Law Banning State Funding of DEI at Public Schools, Universities
|
|
|
|
A new Alabama law that bans state agencies, local boards of education, and institutions of higher education from sponsoring so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs or offices, was signed into law on Wednesday by Gov. Kay Ivey.
Alabama’s Republican-led Legislature voted on Tuesday to advance legislation SB 129, which was authored by Republican state Sen. Will Barfoot. The law will become effective Oct. 1, 2024.
An amended version of the bill was initially passed by the House of Representatives on March 7, with the Senate approving the changes in a 25–4 vote this week.
Under the measure, “divisive concepts” about race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin would be banned from being taught or sponsored by a state agency, local board of education, or public institution of higher education, such as public universities and colleges.
The legislation outlines eight “divisive concepts,” which include teachings that any race, religion, or sex is inherently superior or inferior, or that, by virtue of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, the individual is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive—whether consciously or subconsciously.
Other “divisive concepts” include that individuals, based on factors such as race, religion or sex, are responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, religion, or sex.
Specifically, the measure says that state agencies, local boards of education, or public institutions of higher education may not sponsor any DEI program or maintain any office, physical location, or department that promotes such programs; direct or compel a student, employee, or contractor to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to a divisive concept; or require students, employees, or contractors to share their personal point of view of any divisive concept outside of an academic setting.

- Abba. we give you high praise that the state of Alabama has passed this law banning DEI in all public schools including universities. We ask Holy Spirit to interrupt and intervene in all places where this despicable indoctrination is being taught, whether in schools or in corporations. We ask Holy Spirit to move in power to open eyes and minds to the truth of what this demeaning curriculum does to people's minds, hearts and relationships.
Father God, release your Angels of Truth to reveal how the foundation of this political teaching was formed in darkness, where satan dwells. His intentions are to steal the truth that each of us was created in your image, created in a multitude of colors. His intentions are to kill our personhood, teaching that we are inherently evil because of the color of our skin and those in our lineage. His intentions are to destroy the world you created and all who live in it, to put himself as god over your creation and call it his own.
We decree and declare that satan, you are a defeated foe! We stand in the power and authority given to us by Jesus and say NO MORE! Now your plans will be seen, recognized and destroyed through the power of Jesus' name. You will no longer hide behind the guise of "political correctness", you will be called out and your stronghold pulled down, in the mighty, powerful name of Jesus! We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all.
- "For the Lord you God dried up the Jordan
before you until you had crossed over.
He did this so that all the peoples of the earth
might know that the hand of the Lord
is powerful and so that you might always fear
the Lord your God." (Joshua 4:23a-24)

SpaceX successfully launches another batch of Starlink satellites
|
|
|
SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites into space Monday evening, growing the ever-expanding constellation of Internet-providing orbitals.
The Falcon 9 rocket topped with a payload of 22 Starlink satellites launched at 7:28 p.m. PT from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The launch was the first-stage booster's 10th flight. It returned to Earth where it landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was awaiting its descent in the Pacific Ocean. The booster previously launched two U.S. Space Development Agency and seven Starlink missions.
It was SpaceX's 26th operation mission and 16th Starlink mission of the year.
The launch comes days after SpaceX put 23 of the orbitals into low-Earth orbit on Friday.
The constellation of more than 5,000 satellites seeks to offer high-speed, low-latency Internet worldwide. Read More

Don't forget the hostages! Vigil with 200 participants
|
|
The March of Life organized a vigil in Tübingen on Saturday afternoon to remember the more than 130 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Around 200 people gathered at the Holzmarkt at 12:00 noon. Participants walked through the city center with posters bearing photos, names, and ages of the hostages. During the program of the vigil, they held up the posters on the steps of the collegiate church. Jobst Bittner, the founder of March of Life, commemorated the brutal Hamas attack on Israeli towns on October 7, 2023, in which more than 1,200 people were murdered, and 240 were taken hostage. Bittner warned against false narratives, as Israel is being portrayed as the perpetrator through deliberate misinformation, as quoted by the anti-Semitism commissioner of the state of Berlin.
Participants read out the names of all hostages still remaining in Gaza. Among the Israeli hostages held by the terrorist organization Hamas are individuals of all ages, including women, men, a one-year-old child, and even a Holocaust survivor. Following this, the Tübingen band Beer Sheva performed two Hebrew songs, ‘Shuva Adonai’ and ‘Habaita,’ which call for the safe return of the hostages and their reunion with their families. In his speech, Heinz Reuss, International Director of the March of Life, emphasized the importance of this mission. The method by which the hostages were taken is unprecedented in history. Equally unparalleled is the lack of response from the international community. Women’s rights organizations, in particular, have paid little attention to the Israeli women and girls who were raped, even on International Women’s Day.

- Abba, we stand in agreement with the CRY of those in Tubingen for the releasing of the Israeli hostages and bringing them home swiftly! We are grateful for displayed support towards the Jewish people and stand against all actions of anti-semitism. We pray for more viral images via social media to demonstrate strong alliance with the Nation of Israel, renouncing Hamas' actions. In Jesus mighty Name, we declare God's sovereign protection over each hostage, their families, Netanyahu and the IDF soldiers and decree Christ's blood-covering upon all Jewish people and the Holy Land. Amen and Amen

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."

Leave it There

Words: Isaac Watts
Music: Lowell Mason
Scripture: Cast your cares upon the Lord and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:22
Lyrics:
If the world from you withhold
Of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word,
How He feeds the little bird;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Refrain
Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If your body suffers pain
And your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel,
He can save and He can heal;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
