Subject: National Day Of Prayer
1 Samuel 2:30 - "Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."
Oh Heavenly Father, You have made Yourself known to us as a nation by Your mighty works throughout our history.
From the beginning, You have
been with us through many wars and conflicts; Your rightarm has saved us. We have
been amazingly and graciously blessed.
Today, we confess our sin of not responding to Your right to rule in our lives and our nation. Too often we have
despised and rejected Your will while imposing our own, and we are now facing the consequences
of our disobedience. Draw us back to Yourself that we may return to Your
ways once again. Without You we can do nothing. You have promised that if we
honor You, You will once again honor this great nation.
That is our fervent prayer. For Your honor and glory we pray, Amen.
