Prayer4

Our Heavenly Father, we come in the name of Jesus, recognizing that many of us in this nation have drifted far from Your Word of truth and have even turned our backs on You. Our hearts have become hard, callused, and even seared as with a hot iron. Through the prophet Isaiah, Your Word declares of Israel, who previously failed to obey, honor, and follow you: “Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path? Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer revere you?”

We have become a nation of people who, as Isaih said, calls evil good and good evil, who puts darkness for light and light for darkness, and who puts bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. You said, “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.” We are not wise like You; we dare not match wits with God. We are not clever enough to do the right things without Your wisdom and guidance. We have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the Word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore, the LORD’S anger burns against His people.

Please turn the people of America back to the straight paths of truth, justice, virtue, honor, and fairness to all. You said through Paul the Apostle: “For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” You also said through the Apostle John, “But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.”

When we return to You, we can say with the Psalmist David: “Blessed is the nation whose
God is the LORD!”

We pray this is the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord! Everyone said, “AMEN!”
