“Wars and Rumors of Wars” Where I am in the World, but Trusting in Jesus - Morning by Morning, May 8, 2025
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. ...
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:6-14).
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.
God bless you and may you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, May 8, 2025 - “Wars and Rumors of Wars” Where I am in the World, but Trusting in Jesus
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are my Rock and Refuge, never failing, strong and mighty. As I begin my day, I listen for Your leading (John 10:27). ...
As I begin my morning in the country of Pakistan, I’m mindful of the attacks taking place on the border between India and Pakistan, what’s been called an “act of war.” Your Word comes to mind:
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. ...
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:6-14).
Lord, even use these tensions in the world to draw people to You. You are the Solid Rock. You are our Secure Refuge. There is no other (Acts 4:12).
In You, we need not fear. In You, we are not dependent upon the outcomes of the threats and battles of this world. As You said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Though my phone is blowing up with texts and emails from friends from around the world who know I’m in Pakistan during these suddenly exciting days, I am at peace because I am in You. By Your grace, I am embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit, continuing the mission for which You sent me as Your “ambassador for Christ” in Karachi, Lahore, Pattoki and all along the way with Your words of healing and hope, spirit and life in every way You would use me as Your servant, disciple, and friend (2 Corinthians 5:20; John 13:16 and 15:15).
Take this sudden turn of events and turn it all around to open hearts to You and the security of peace only You can bring—Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords (Isaiah 9:6; Relation 19:16). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
