Our leaders have betrayed us and have sold out to many enemies. So many have become discouraged. We have struggled to find justice yet have failed. Only you can be depended upon for real justice. Amen
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Dearest Lord, as individuals and as a nation, we do so poorly when we build our foundation upon anything other than Your Word. We ask that more people would invite You into their hearts, especially people in authority or influence.
We thank You for the grace and the mercy that is offered through Your Son. It is by walking, covered in His blood, that we may be saved. May we be surrendered unto Thee.
Blessed is His name, the name of Jesus.
Lord Jesus Christ....
O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, thine only crown:.....How pale thou art with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish Which once was bright as morn!.....
What thou, my Lord, has suffered Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain.... Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve thy place; Look on me with thy favor, Vouchsafe to me thy grace.....
What language shall I borrow To thank thee, dearest friend, For this thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?.... O make me thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for thee.
In your Almighty Name,...Jesus
Amen
