For Humility and Repentance

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  II Chronicles 7:14

Holy God, as You move visibly in America, we are quick to speak ot Your power and might.  We praise and glorify You for such extraordinary strength and love, and thank You for Your faithfulness to our nation.

Lord, enable us now to come to You in humble intercession for our country, recognizing its sin and shortcoming, yet also knowing its potential and greatness.  forgive us for our transgressions, god, as a nation, and let us now move forward into a new day, preparing for a new administration.  may we embrace the purpose You have for us.  Let us see clearly Your destiny for us as a nation and as a people, and let us see it, knowing that as we forsake evil, Your grace filled forgiveness is guaranteed and Your healing is nigh.  we ask this, Father, in Jesus‘ name, Amen.

From our nation’s very begining, God‘s amazing movements have been fashioned and sustained by prayer.  You can see it from the signing of our earliest documents to our victories over days of darkness, to all the spiritual awakenings that have sustained our faith over the years.

How wide are the possibilities when we pray.  Prayer is a wonderful power given to us by the Almighty god.  When we humbly see His face in prayer, He is moved to act on our behalf.  Make your life a life of prayer.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themsleves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  2 Chronicles 7:14

“‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’”  Jeremiah 33:3

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6-7

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.  And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.”  Deuteronomy 28:1-3

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with ll your heart.  Jeremiah 29:11-13
