Billy Graham's daughter Anne Graham Lotz is worried about the world's political climate. She said the evil of the world is "unrestrained," and "nations are unraveling, wars are raging, arms deals are being struck behind the closed doors of our enemies."
However, Lotz said there was "an explosion of light" amidst the darkness. In a prayer posted in Charisma News, the founder of AnGel Ministries expressed gratitude to God that President Donald Trump affirmed America's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"He has vowed to move our embassy there! Thank You for all the work You have done behind the scenes to bring this to a decision," she said in her prayer. "While the enemies of Your people may rage, we rejoice, because we understand that in our blessing of Israel, we will be blessed! We suddenly find ourselves on Your side once again, aligned with the nation and the city on which You have placed Your name."
However, Lotz shared concerns about upheaval and prayed that God would bless Trump and turn his enemies - both in America and in other countries - into allies. She also prayed that the fear of the one true and living God would prevail.
"We ask that You bless The Beautiful Land and all those who live there, both Jews and Arabs, with Your peace," she continued. "We ask especially that You woo Your people to Yourself. Draw them to put their trust in You, so that they experience peace without - and within."
Trump declared Jerusalem Israel's capital in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House on Wednesday. "I've judged this course of action to be in the best interests of the United States of America and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This is a long-overdue step to advance the peace process and to work towards a lasting agreement," the president said.
"Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital," he added. "Acknowledging this as a fact is a necessary condition for achieving peace."
