Proverbs 22:28Please pray with me:
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the USA. Thank You for the rich heritage that embraces a past of looking to You for guidance. Thank You that we have this heritage that proclaimed, “In God We Trust.” You have been our trust, and You have been our protection. You have made us great and caused us to prosper.
We have abandoned You. Forgive us. We have rested and celebrated our own accomplishment. We have strayed from the principles of justice, and we have redefined our society in direct defiance to the guidance of Your Word. Forgive us. Father, we are now teaching these new definitions to children and youth in our schools. We are teaching them falsehoods, we are proliferating that which is in defiance to Your Truths. Forgive us. We are a rebellious nation. Help us change.
Father, show us the path to bring back our textbooks to align with Your Word. We have tried our own programs, "No Child Left Behind" and now "Common Core.” Neither align with Your Word. Forgive us for not appealing to You for guidance. Forgive us, Your church, for not seeking You diligently on this matter. Forgive us for not standing up and speaking, in the public realm, when we have had opportunity, or when You have directed us. Forgive us for being silent. Show us a better way.
Father, raise up voices to speak Truth. Show us the path to find opportunity and lead those in position of change. that our schools are in trouble. Give us the words to redirect our path to return to You. Grant us a tenacity to stand our ground and speak with intelligent persuasion. May our lives clearly demonstrate that what we say is credible, reliable, and beneficial.
Father, let us pour out our hearts before You. Cause parents to rise up. Where they have expected the government to raise their children, may they no long be silent. Open their eyes to see the result. May there be an uproar in prayer closets across our nation. May these people unite to demand change in a manner that pleases You, and that brings others to the conclusion that You have the best way. Open their hearts to want what is “best.”
We need Your help where our schools are concerned. Our textbooks are alarmingly and openly rebellious. Show us the path to return to Your Truth rather than our own.
Hear our prayer,
In Jesus’ Name.
