We pray for the freedom to acknowledge You through our public institutions. Once again let us obtain the freedom to speak Your name and acknowledge You freely in the halls of out government.
Live as people who are free, not using Your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. I Peter 2:16
To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. All efforts made to destroy the foundations of our Holy Religion ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation… in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom… Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government – and all the blessings which flow from them – must fall with them. ~ Jedidiah Morse A Sermon Exhibiting the Present Dangers and Consequent Duties of the Citizens of the United States of America Delivered at Charlestown April 25, 1799
Operation World Pray for Uzbekistan : Uzbekistan is the strategic key for all of Central Asia, and tensions remain high between the post-Soviet regime and the Islamist movements (most radical in the Fergana Valley). Much of the population is tired of poverty, corruption, and failure to make economic progress, and Islamists attract jobless young men. Economic prospects have improved recently, as both tourism and employment opportunities for women have improved. Pray for positive change that lasts, and leadership that governs for the sake of the people. Pray for the true peace only Jesus can give.
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. I John 4:16 (NLT)
