Yes, joining you in prayer for the Supreme Court Justices, believing that God is still at work powerfully here on His earth, where He is King. We can’t always see or understand His ways, but He’s still in control.

I've been reading the OT Mosaic books (I'm in Leviticus now) and prophets (just finished Hosea). The Almighty has disciplined errant nations over and over when they go off the rails. And He uses other errant nations to do the deed. I think we need to remember that Jesus promises "my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you." We need to pray for steadfastness in our belief, and know that we can be at peace in Jesus Christ even if the world is at war with itself and if our prayers are not answered in the way that we might desire.
Right in tune with you, Barbls. Psalm 118:6-10 caught my attention last night. “The Lord is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me. He is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.”
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
