God Heal Our Land

I have been reading on the building of the Temple in II Chronicles and asking the Lord to reveal a fresh truth to me. It was not until I got to the dedication of the temple did I receive the revelation of what godly leadership should look like. King Solomon began to pray and praise the Lord. During this dedication prayer he really started to focus on Israel and how they are prone to turn their backs on God. He prayed with deep conviction for a failsafe in case when Solomon was not there to lead they might anger God. He knew the past history and in his god given wisdom knew it would happen again eventually.

God later appears to Solomon in the night and reveals that He had heard and received the prayer. God proceeds to give Solomon a promise of grace and how to attain it. “ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

This is what we are lacking in the leadership of our nation. I am not saying we do not have any godly leaders in Washington, but not many. I long to see a leader that will have the courage to get on his knees before the nation and pray for the past sins, the current conflicts, and the future prosperity of our beloved nation.

Even if we do not have a politician that will do this, it is our job as a nation to do this as well. The spiritual health of America is in need of a check up. I pray that the church will stand up again and cover this nation with prayer. We cannot fix the issues by condemning the nations leaders. It is okay to disagree with a politician or a political party. We must be careful to always pray for the person in the position, especially the president. If you want change get on your knees and talk to the Lord. Lift up your concerns to him. Pray for godly and wise leadership!

Prayer:

Lord we come to you today to thank you for who you. You are truly worthy of all praise. There is none who can compare to your glory. I pray that your glory will be shown through our nation and its leaders. Guide our leaders in your wisdom. Father forgive us of our sins as a nation. Restore us to become one and end the division that has set itself into our culture. Help us to heal from past wrongs and give us wisdom to move forward. Place your hand over our nation and provide us with your protection. I pray for the church Lord that you would raise up godly men and women to represent the kingdom of Heaven with wisdom and dignity. Let us show the world how to love the person and hate the sin. Help us to act out of love and not prejudice. Gives a heart of compassion. Anoint us with fresh revelation and bring a revival to this nation! We thank you for the miracles that are preparing to take place. Give us the faith to stand up and spread your message like wildfire! Pour out your Spirit once again on this nation. Unify us as a people that does not judge on skin or gender! From blacks to whites; From men to women: Let us all answer the call of Christ! I pray Lord you will heal our land! I pray this in the name of my savior Christ Jesus! Amen!
