Pray For Our Nation

Last week I wrote to our readers to pray for the leaders who would soon be taking charge. Although the elections are now over, us praying for our leaders and our nation does not end. Depending on the results on both a national and local level, some may be worried about what the next few years hold. When we worry, there is only one thing that we can do, and that is to pray. We need to continue to pray for our nation and for the leaders that God ultimately has put in charge. “It is He who changes the times and the periods; He removes kings and appoints kings; He gives wisdom to wise men, And knowledge to [a] people of understanding.” Daniel 2:21. In fact, I would almost argue that they need prayer more now then before the election took place. After all, prayer is the only action left to the people now that the elections are over.

Prayer is a powerful action, it can truly shape the fate of a nation. Look at Jonah chapters three and four, it was through the repentant prayers of the people of Nineveh that God withheld His wrath. This is the mindset that we need to have now, we need to be praying that God remembers His people in our nation. Pray that those who have been placed in charge will come to know Him. Pray for a repentant heart of the people in our nation. Our prayers and our God now will decide the fate of our nation.

Seek the truth and encourage one another,
