SCRIPTURE
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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
THOUGHTS
It is an understatement to say our nation needs healing. We continually experience new waves of racial injustice, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, school shootings, issues of gender confusion, and the list goes on. But God has given us an invitation to pray for the healing of our nation.
He made a promise to King Solomon that if the people of God would…
Humble themselves
Pray
Seek His face
Turn from their wicked ways
Then he would…
Hear from heaven
Forgive their sin
Heal the land
This promise given to Solomon is given to us today.
PRAYER
God, we confess and repent of the sins of America. We have turned away from You as a nation and we ask You for mercy. We appeal to You for our President, Vice President, members of the Cabinet, and members of both the House and the Senate, to make decisions that will lead toward a more righteous, peaceful, and orderly America. We also ask that these leaders guide us to ways that represent You and Your ways. We pray for the unity of our nation and an end to racial and political divides. May we be a nation that brings glory to Your Name. I pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
