Great and Mighty, Eternal God, what can we say? We, as a nation, have been so wrong; are so wrong, and will continue in our wrongness if we, in our sinfulness, cannot, will not, reach out to You from lying on our faces before You, in all Your holiness. We are lost without You, and are seemingly by our behavior, not even aware of this fact. Awaken us, I pray!
LORD, the very fiber of America has unraveled. We are nothing more than a worthless piece of cloth of what was once a great, wholesome, God honoring nation. Even the colors of our once called, “Old Glory” have faded into being just forgotten.. What would our founding fathers think if they could see their America today?
Father, of all eternity, I am very hopeful in the truth of Your eternalness not being affected by the time which we humans are prisoners. You have not bound Yourself to time. Time cannot touch You. You are more concerned with timing than with time. Therein lies my hope for this sin-sick nation.
Another hope I have in You is Your own Word speaking of Your heart for man in 2 Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” This is not an attempt to manipulate Who You are with Your Holy Word, however, I see a window of opportunity for one more great outpouring of Your Spirit upon this land to the reviving of Your church and the awakening of men and women and girls and boys to repentance leading to salvation, . . . before the end must come.
“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)
LORD, today I pray, forgive my sin, our sin, heal our land, in the Name above every name, Jesus, Amen!
