Oh Father,
We appeal to you for so much, but we are powerless to bring down Blessings, or to guide our own way, or to declare the end from the beginning.
You are mighty, Eternal God, and we need you to intervene in the lives of your people for healing and protection and defense.
We ask that you would be glorified in supplying our need.
I ask you to calm fears of parents who have sick children, bring ready relief to all who are ill, open the supply you have for those in want, rescue the perishing and bring your Glorious Salvation to all who seek you with a whole heart.
WE CRY TO YOU TO SAVE OUR NATION.
BRING US TO REPENTANCE AND BACK TO OUR FIRST LOVE.
HELP US TO DO THE THINGS WE DID AT THE FIRST FOUNDING OF THIS LAND.....HONOR YOU.
I ask all this in Jesus' Name above all names.

The gathering clouds, with aspect dark,
A rising storm presage;
O! to be hid within the ark,
And sheltered from its rage!
See the commissioned angel frown!
That vial in his hand,
Filled with fierce wrath, is pouring down
Upon our guilty land!
Ye saints, unite in wrestling prayer;
If yet there may be hope;
Who knows but Mercy yet may spare,
And bid the angel stop!
Already is the plague begun,
And fired with hostile rage;
Brethren, by blood and interest one,
With brethren now engage.
Peace spreads her wings, prepared for flight,
And war, with flaming sword,
And hasty strides draws nigh, to fight
The battles of the Lord.
The first alarm, alas, how few,
While distant, seem to hear!
But they will hear, and tremble too,
When God shall send it near.
So thunder, o’er the distant hills,
Gives but a murm’ring sound,
But as the tempest spreads, it fills,
And makes the welkin sound.
May we, at least, with one consent,
Fall low before the throne
With tears the nation’s sins lament,
The churches, and our own.
The humble souls who mourn and pray,
The Lord approves and knows;
His mark secures them in the day
When vengeance strikes his foes.
