...AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS...
Gracious Father, our country is in a mess. From hurricanes to floods, to tornadoes, and wildfires, our land is being decimated. On top of that, sexual sin is running rampant and now, there is even confusion among many whether they are a boy or girl. We’ve sacrificed millions of our children on the altar of abortion, claiming it’s a woman’s right. Drugs and
homelessness are destroying the dreams of countless Americans. Lives are being taken every day in schools and on our streets at the hands of someone with a gun. Yet, people think the solutions to these problems are money and political decisions. But our political leaders seem to lack common sense, removing references to You from public discussion, while they elevate evolution as science. No wonder people are acting like animals.
Lord, we’ve seen other nations run this same course and they are no more. The human heart is so proud to think it can stand up against You. We ask the same question as the psalmist, “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against His Anointed One. ‘Let us break their chains,’ they say, ‘and throw off their fetters.’” (Psalm 2:1–3) The basics of the Bible are no longer being taught around our country.
The world thinks that You want to remove all joy from life, making Your followers dull and somber. In reality You are the source of a full life. Turn us back to You. Cause people to show You the respect and fear You deserve. May the gospel go forth in power from the lips of Your followers. May we see the horrid nature of sin, repent, and turn to Jesus. Amen.
