Have You Prayed for your Country Today?

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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.  2Chronicles 7:14

Prayer for the United States is something anyone of faith can do.  Prayer has been known to cure illness, even cancer; bring rain to thirsty lands and crops, and even guide the battle plans of generals and turn the tides of war, hastening their end, and in doing so, bring peace.

The Lord is slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. (Psalms 103:8).  He is not a punishing god, ready to inflict suffering on those who violate His laws or reject Him.  He is like love itself: patient, kind, selfless, and unconditional.

Pray for the United States of America.  Pray that those who attack us because of our faith will fail, and repent.  Pray for the return of the Lord and for His healing hands to be placed on our land.  Pray for our president; whether we agree with him or not, that the Lord may direct his decisions for God’s glory.  Pray for our legislatures and judges, that they honor the Lord and the Constitution of these United States.

Finally, pray that the Lord will help all of us show unconditional love to all; especially non believers, while encouraging one another to turn from their sins and follow God.
