LORD, You tell us so many times in your Word to not be afraid, that You are with us...You tell us to not let our hearts be troubled, for You have overcome the world...
Even so, LORD, I confess my dismay and near despondency on what is occurring in America....what has been occurring in 2020...there is no doubt that there are wrongs that need to be righted, racial disparities - especially among Believers - that need to be addressed, and that we are at a critical juncture.
Yet, there are many forces that seem to be focused on destruction of those truly noble fundamental components of America that offer freedom and liberty to all when properly applied. Forces that are bent on dissension and lawlessness to further our nation’s demise, not focused on its promise of equality, justice, and freedom for all.
Please give our leaders the wisdom and fortitude to beat back the forces that would smother America’s full realization of the promise that You instilled in its founders.
Thank You for the story of Gideon in your Word. I confess the need for a “fleece” at this moment. While our faith is in that promised, but unseen, please hear my request to see You move in a mighty way to show Your faithful that Your Mighty Hand of favor is still on America. Even today, even this weekend, please, according Your will, give a sign - a fleece - that will show clearly that You have not abandoned this country to chaos...a sign that we still have a chance to turn back to You. Please turn the current chaos that was intended for evil into to good...for Your Glory and our benefit. Even today...Thank You, LORD
Amen!
AMEN!!!!
Wonderful prayer and I second all of it!
Remember what Elisha said to his servant about the massive Assyrian army surrounding their camp in 2 Kings 6:15.
The answer in 2 Kings 6:16 “So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
The Lord is doing exactly His Will with our nation (what’s left of it). I take comfort that He holds us in the palm of His Hand.
