With all of the
violence demonstrated towards people, we really need God to intervene on
our behalves as well as those who have lost loved ones for no apparent
reason. "If my people, who are called by my name, would humble
themselves and pray; seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then
will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal the land" (2nd
Chron 7:14). Okay people, it's on us. We, who are called by God, claim
His name and heritage, need to seek God's wisdom in all things before
we do anything, and turn aside from doing whatever it is we're doing
that is not pleasing to Him (stop doing it right now). Then, our
Advocate, the risen Savior will speak to the Father on our behalf,
forgive our sins and heal the land. What do we have to lose by doing
The Word? Are you ready?
Let's pray:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we humbly, but boldly come to You, acknowledging we know nothing and can do nothing without You. We know You see all things and know all things and hear all things. We ask You to forgive us our sins and help us to live a life that is pleasing to You. Speak to our hearts whenever we are about to take the wrong path and keep us on the straight and narrow path. Look upon Your creation--Your people--whom You said when You had finished, "it is good". Help us to live up to Your expectations and create in the land a cease-fire from all violence towards all mankind. We look expectantly for Your abundant blessings in response to this prayer and we do it with confidence in You only. Comfort the hearts of all those who have lost a loved one to senseless violence and help them reclaim victory in spite of their circumstances. Provide an opportunity for a believer to speak a word from You to all those who are responsible for the violent acts and help them to see You through the person speaking to them. Help us all to keep the enemy under our feet, totally ineffective and unable to cause chaos in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. In Jesus' name we pray and thank You, Amen.
