Is God Done with America?
Thanks for praying and fasting with us this Wednesday, January 19.
"But You are God, ready to pardon, gracious an merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness" (Nehemiah 9:17).
It's been said that we only use about 10% of our brain. If true, this is either a result of Adam's and Eve's apple party, or the radiation from our cell phones is rapidly affecting our brains!
We think we know what God is like...but we don't.
We think we know what God should do...but we don't.
We think we know our future...but we don't.
Us 'know-it-alls' really don't know that much. How much of your life has turned out differently than you thought? 80%? 90%?
So, we must know that God's ways are higher than our ways. His mercies are new every morning. He sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Yes, God will someday judge sin. But don't throw America away yet. There are many righteous, like you, who are interceding faithfully for our country. And God hears the prayers of the righteous! And He has promised a last days outpouring of His Spirit on all flesh who are hungry for His presence.
He is still ready to pardon!
Let's pray for ourselves
Dear Lord,
Forgive us for giving up on people before You do. Help us to see others as more important than ourselves. Give us your heart and mind to see others restored to Your love and forgiveness, rather than judging them prematurely.
Let's pray for our city and country
Dear Lord,
Thanks for hearing the prayers of the righteous. Thanks for your mercies today and everyday. Please hear our prayers for our land. Come and heal us and forgive us and restore us to You and to each other. Heal our family’s wounds. Help our government leaders to rule in the fear of You. Help parents to live a life worthy of emulation by their kids.
Let's pray for the global advance of the gospel
Dear Lord,
I am told that 99.7% of America's charity donations stay in America. Would you give us a heart to "go into ALL the world and preach the gospel?" Remind us that every soul of every race is equally valuable to You. Red, yellow, black or white…You died for them all. Help us, the richest nation on earth, to love them ALL for Your glory. In Jesus' mighty name we pray, amen.
