In the Garden of Eden life was perfect for man and woman,
but after disobeying God the perfection of the world wasi
destroyed by the entering in of sin, and the course of
the history of mankind since has been marked by
conflict, struggles and sin.
We sadly see this in society with crime, corruption, and conflict in our families, in our communities and in our country. In so many ways it is heart breaking and devastating to see our country divided with such distain, anger, and down-right hatred toward one another. When we look at what has happened to us it always gets back to removing God from our lives and not following His ways.
While we as a nation may have left God by not only allowing but approving all kinds of errant practices, God NEVER left us, we have certainly LEFT HIM! espite the moral mayhem that has appeared in the last few decades there is an answer and that is PRAYER, and God gave us the cure for our fractured nation when he said:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves
AND pray,
AND seek my face,
AND turn from their wicked ways;
— THEN will I hear from heaven,
AND will forgive their sin,
AND will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
Prayer powerfully alters things, and while our country will never be perfect we can help heal the differences within us and bring good things about. While sin will always remain in this world, he still gives us the ability to make right choices — and this always must first begin by 'turning from wicked ways.'
My dear friend, would you close your eyes and pray with me?
Dear Lord God Almighty, and merciful God,
We come together in one accord to pray for the
deliverance of our sinful ways as a nation
and all the abhorrent evil of America that we have done in this world.
Help us to be unified abiding and acknowledging Your Commandments
and that through our obedience and prayers to bring about a major shift
and change in those who are walking in rebellion against You in our nation.
We pray for our country to repent and turn back to you, follow you.
and turn our hearts back towards You.
We pray all of this prayer in the holy name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
