Help Us Reach Our Nation for Prayer



We want to openly share our needs and keep you informed about the status of this ministry. Since 2001, this ministry has been reaching millions of Americans with the help of God’s people, who have graciously underwritten the daily expenses of the prayer team. Every gift, no matter the size, is of great help. We invite you to prayerfully consider helping us meet our monthly budgeted need with a gift today.

Vantage Point Devotional
  • Peace in Times of Trouble

    You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. – Isaiah 26:3


    There are more than 50 songs that have come out in the past decade with “trouble” in the title. Trouble is a guaranteed part of life. Before His crucifixion, Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, NIV). The instabilities of modern life may tempt you to feel anxious, whether it is the fluctuations of the markets and economy or struggles with health or with family members.

    Writer Jay E. Adams says, “While God has not yet removed trouble from the Christian or the Christian from trouble, He has, by the Word and His Spirit, given believers all that is necessary to handle the trouble successfully.” The apostle Paul used hardship as an opportunity to glorify Christ. Look again at today’s verse and be encouraged. There are three profound phrases in Isaiah’s statement. First, the outcome “You will keep him in perfect peace.” Then the action, “whose mind is stayed on you,” and the reason, “because he trusts in you.”

    The words in Isaiah and the words of Jesus do not sugar coat the struggles of this life. However, they also tell how to deal with them. Keep your mind fixed on the Lord and trust in Him. Then take heart! ”He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). God can and does work to bring good out of troublesome circumstances, great or small, for His glory.

    Those in positions of authority have their own troubles, and the nation has troubles. Receive the Lord’s peace today as you intercede for public officials. Pray that those serving in public office will turn to the One True God, who can guide them with wisdom to solutions and to peace of mind.

    Today’s Verse: Isaiah 26:3

    You keep him in perfect peace
        whose mind is stayed on you,
        because he trusts in you.

    Recommended for further reading: Isaiah 26:2-12  

    Open the gates,
        that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
    You keep him in perfect peace
        whose mind is stayed on you,
        because he trusts in you.
    Trust in the Lord forever,
        for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
    For he has humbled
        the inhabitants of the height,
        the lofty city.
    He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,
        casts it to the dust.
    The foot tramples it,
        the feet of the poor,
        the steps of the needy.”
    The path of the righteous is level;
        you make level the way of the righteous.
    In the path of your judgments,
        O Lord, we wait for you;
    your name and remembrance
        are the desire of our soul.
    My soul yearns for you in the night;
        my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
    For when your judgments are in the earth,
        the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
    10 If favor is shown to the wicked,
        he does not learn righteousness;
    in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly
        and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
    11 O Lord, your hand is lifted up,
        but they do not see it.
    Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
        Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.
    12 O Lord, you will ordain peace for us,
        for you have indeed done for us all our works.
