We have an extremely important election this November that needs our attention. I believe in the power of prayer and if ever our nation needed us to intercede with our creator now is the time. I am asking you to join me in 40 days of focused prayer for our nation and our leaders. I am asking all to pray for the healing of our land. Details below…
“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 will forgive their sin and heal their land”, (2 Chronicles 7:14) There is an absolutely beautiful and appropriate song we sing at church that was taken from this verse and with the name of the title of this post. I am sharing the words with you here.
Heal Our Land by Robin Brooks and Tom Brooks
Lord heal our land, Father heal our land, Hear our cry, And turn our nation back to You
Lord heal our land, Hear us O Lord and heal our land; Forgive our sin, And heal our broken land.
If my people will humble themselves, Humble themselves and pray,
If they seek My face and humble themselves, And turn from their wicked ways
I will hear from heaven, And forgive their sin, I will hear from heaven, And heal their land.
Lord we bow our knee we humble ourselves, Humble ourselves and pray,
Lord we seek Your face, We humble ourselves, And turn from our wicked ways
Father in Your mercy forgive our sin, Father in Your mercy come heal our land.
The Power of Prayer: Right from the beginning of our nation great things have happened due to God’s almighty power and grace toward us. Our land was sustained and protected through the power of prayer. When the early documents were drafted and signed those great men did it prayerfully. We triumphed over many days of darkness by the power of prayer. Through diligent and intentional prayer we have brought the presence of God amongst us. The possibilities are endless when we involve the power of prayer. With God, all things are possible. You and me, we all have an awesome power given to us by God Almighty. As the verse and song says, “When we humbly seek His face through prayer our Lord will act on our behalf and will work His will for us. When we pray for our leaders and for the direction of our nation we can have God’s power to change the direction our nation moves toward.
Please join me in a daily prayer beginning Friday, September 28 and culminating on election-day, Tuesday, November 6, 2012. This is the most critical election in many years for our nation. Join me as we pray for the United States of America, for our leaders and those to be elected to shape the future of our country. Let us claim the promise within 2 Chronicles 7:14. Let’s come together in humility and call upon His name.
