    God gives rise to men and nations, God prospers men and nations, God hears when men and nations pray, and, for those men and nations that don’t listen to Him, sooner or later, He causes those men and nations to fall.

    In Jesus’ final prayer for His disciples, He prays for their protection, that they will remain faithful, joyful, unscathed, and sanctified. If this were His concerns, these must also be our prayer concerns for one another today.
