Father, you are a God of truth and justice. You are not a man, that you should lie. You set kings up, and bring them down. And right now, Father, while acknowleging along with Jeff the sins of our nation against You, I humbly ask for Your mercy upon us. I ask for Your hand to be upon our nation now, as we go through this election cycle and deal with this financial crisis.
I ask for You to open the eyes of the American people to the truth, because many are blind. Please do not let the liars and the cheaters win. I’m asking right now, Lord God, for a miracle, and that the hearts of the people in this nation be turned back to You, that we may continue to be a force for Your good in this world. I pray that we will once again seek Your face and turn back to you.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
...and may we do all in our power to help that happen by educating, with reasoned dialog, and with prayers to God above to carry our message to the hearts of the people we contact, so that their eyes may indeed be opened.
Yes! Amen and Amen!!! As quoted in 2 Chronicles 7:14 we are to seek His (God’s) face, not His feet (to do something for us) (nor His hands) but His face. And our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; ......Matthew 6:33a. My prayer is, as a people and a nation, we will flee ungoliness and youthful lusts, and persue godliness and righteousness!
Amen.
