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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land~ 2 Chronicles 7:14
Our land is sick with sin, but its healing begins with us, God's people humbling ourselves and realizing that we are not above it all. We too fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We need to pray and seek His face. Seek His wisdom, Seek His ways. We need to turn from idols of comfort, complacency, financial security, social media, or anything that we would put before our God.
We need to turn away from division and unforgiveness and seek peace. When we as God's children come together in love and seek our Father, He will hears us and forgive us. He will heal our land. We will be blessed and our children will be blessed.
In my country we celebrate Independence Day tomorrow. To be honest, I do not always recognize my country. We have turned away from many things, but I know have to focus on Christ and His will I have to remember that He is sovereign and I have to pray. I pray for the unity of the church, God's people. I pray that we love each other as Christ loves us. I pray that we humble ourselves, look to Him and let Him heal us and our land. I pray for blessing for all God's people and for those who do not know Him. We have to stand up and be bold for Christ.
Lord, You have given us a wonderful gift, freedom in You. Let us not abuse it. Let us turn from our sin and humble ourselves. Let us pray for righteousness-Your righteousness to prevail and Your love to rule. Cleanse us and heal our land Lord. Bless the nations of this earth. In Jesus name. Amen
