Devotional Reflection

HopeGriefShame

What is our culture and country's god? Our God is the LORD, whose name is Yahweh. He is the King of Israel and the Savior of the lost. He is the King of every country. But that doesn't mean He is the God of our country. We are not "one nation under God" at all. But we can pray for a new start for our country. We can be sorry that we didn't put God first in our own lives. He has said that He will answer if we are humble and seek Him. Let's start doing that today!

Prayer

I confess my own sin and the sin of my people before you today, O LORD, God of the heavens and Father of all peoples. By the strength of your Word and the sanctifying power of your Spirit, I pray that you will resurrect us. Bring our nation renewal and revival. I make this request in the stead of and through the power of Jesus the Christ. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer

LORD, you are the God of the heavens and the Father of all people. Today, I bow down before you and admit my sin and the sin of my people. I pray that the power of your Word and the holy power of your Spirit will bring us back to life. Bring our land back to life and make it better. I ask this in the name of Jesus and with the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
