Father, thank You that Your truth and our rights are eternally and unalienably linked. May this fact become self-evident to Americans once again. We petition You on behalf of our beloved country, once loyal to You, believing that You are hearing and answering our prayers.
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. I Corinthians 10:23-24 (ESV)
[Governments] could not give the rights essential to happiness… We claim them from a higher source: from the King of kings, and Lord of all the earth. ~ John Dickson Governor of Pennsylvania Political Writings 1801
Operation World Pray for United States of America : The American Church needs revival – not the slick mass evangelism and theatrics often associated with the word, but true revival with conviction of sin, repentance and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Revival is not smarmy spectacle. It is our brokenness before God and the new life and restoration that can come only from Him. More often than not, the public face of Christianity turns people away from Jesus rather than drawing them to Him. In many circles, the gospel is often little more than a self-help philosophy. Thank God for the pockets where revival is happening – and it is! Pray that it may spread.
You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah Psalm 85:2 (ESV)
