Prayers
Our Father, America stands at the crossroads of the most important time in our history. We, as a nation, have never been more divided. The battle lines have been drawn and they are spiritual in nature (Isaiah 5:20). As it was for ancient Israel in the days of their sojourning, our moral compass is broken. What will we choose? (Joshua 24:15). May your spirit guide and direct us to your will for this nation. My heart is exceedingly troubled as I view the events of the days in which we now live through the perspective of biblical prophecy and the path we have embarked on since our inception as a nation. I believe with all my being that America was birthed to be a light to the world, to live according to your laws, statutes, and judgments and make your name great throughout all the earth. Father, you have blessed this nation above all others and we have been a blessing to many throughout our history, yet we have forgotten that our continued blessings are contingent upon our obedience to you. Sadly, rather than being a godly example to the world, we have allowed ourselves to be influenced by the world and have turned from righteousness to ungodliness (II Timothy 3:1-4). Like Israel before us, who likewise was birthed to be a nation under God, we have succumbed to following the ways of those who do not know or worship you. We have inherited their godless forms of religion whereby we practice recycled customs and traditions of pagan sun-god worship rather than the commandments of our God. These have not revealed your ways to us, for they are but the manufactured devices of imperfect men that have not known you. We have exchanged our glory for that which does not profit. We have abandoned the beautiful shadow pictures of your holy times and seasons for celebrations that contain no truth nor understanding. Your instructions have been pushed aside as ancient teachings for an ancient people, no longer relevant for the modern times in which we live. I beg you, please remove the veil that covers our eyes and understanding. Show us the ugly truth, that the god of this world has deceived us and caused us to go astray. We have rejected the tree of life for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Is it yet too late for America to repent, to turn to you with all her heart? May we yet be able to find redemption and salvation? Has she gone too far to find her way home, her way back to you? I pray not! Will it take chastisement, punishment to awaken us and pull us from the deadly precipice upon which we stand? Please have mercy upon us. Please raise up a people among us who will blow the trumpet and sound the alarm, who will stand as watchmen upon the wall, who will bring us to repentance and turn our hearts back to you, our only hope. We cannot put our trust in any other. No elected leader can save us. You are our only Savior. If we want America to be great again, the American people have to aspire to be great again as individuals, to repent of our abominations and return to You with all our heart (II Chronicles 7:14). Again, we stand at a crossroads. What will our response be? I fear judgment stands at the door. May we wake up before it is too late, in Yeshua's name I pray, AMEN!
