23 “As for me, I will certainly not sin against the Lord by ending my prayers for you. And I will continue to teach you what is good and right. 24 But be sure to fear the Lord and faithfully serve him. Think of all the wonderful things he has done for you. 25 But if you continue to sin, you and your king will be swept away.” — 1 Samuel 12: 23-25 NLT
I would like to urge and encourage each of us to keep on praying for our nation. Pray that our current leaders will lead us in paths of righteousness so that we can return to being “one nation” instead of a nation divided by greed, selfishness and ethnic differences. Pray that we will stop being Americans separated by hyphens. That we will all just be Americans. A nation divided cannot stand. Pray that the voters will be led by the Holy Spirit and vote for those that will continue to lead us back to God. Pray that there will be a great renewal that starts in each of our hearts and spreads throughout our communities and our country.
Let each of us remember the many great blessings that God has poured out on this country and teach those things to future generations. If we refuse to humble ourselves before God, as individuals and as a nation, we and our country will be swept away. Pray that God will be merciful to us just as He was to the Israelis.
44 You will know that I am the Lord, O people of Israel, when I have honored my name by treating you mercifully in spite of your wickedness. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” — Ezekiel 20:44
