Today's Prayer

"When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability."  

- Proverbs 28:2 (NLT)​​

 

Lord,

In a world without Godly Leaders,

in a world with those who seek to destroy rather than build up,

we call out to you

Come Lord Jesus, Come.

The violence and destruction all around us is too much for our hearts to bear.

Without true leadership, Godly leadership, humanity is all but doomed.

There is no longer mercy, no love and no charity, no humility and no justice

as those who are rich and powerful are slashing people's jobs and livelihoods without real evaluation,

in the name of downsizing the government.

They are cutting through this nation with a chainsaw

destroying the foundations which have been held up for so long.

They are destroying the means by which we have for decades

collectively provided relief to the most vulnerable,

to the widows and orphans, to the poor and the needy, to the sick and the weak.

They are destroying all that ensures justice in this nation, weakening it and breaking it into tinder.

May your people not be inclined to have hearts and spirits of subordination to these wicked men.

 Rather give them strength to speak out and stand up for what is right in your eyes.

For you are the Divine Author of Love and Mercy and Justice.

Help us O God!

Grant our supplication as we bow down before thee,

the only true and just Ruler and King.

We beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
