National Day of Prayer
“...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
We are still a nation in crisis. Sadly, many people in America have stopped seeking God. There is a huge shift towards liberalism. As a nation, we have lost our moral and spiritual compass. A great many of our nation’s leaders have moved away from biblical principles that were set down by our Founding Fathers:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Our current administration in the White House has created laws that have brought upon us death instead of Life, suppression instead of Liberty, and unhappiness instead of Happiness: Death, because of state-funded abortions and open border policies, which have given opportunity for criminal, illegal immigrants to murder and assault our innocent citizens and brave police officers.
Suppression, because with restrictive freedoms, we no longer have freedom of speech in America. How many people have been thrown into jail for what they have said or for whom they have supported? Peaceful citizens praying for the unborn have been wrongfully jailed. Supporting a political candidate has caused people to be jailed.
Unhappiness, because inflation has caused families to experience poverty, and they cannot afford to eat! Small businesses have gone bankrupt. What has happened to America? We need to return to God!
If we, as God’s people, turn from our wicked ways, humbly seek the face of God and pray, then maybe God, in His mercy, will hear our cries from heaven, and heal our land. We can change the destructive course of our country through humble repentance and our sincere prayers.
The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.
