What we must do to change the U.S.

*** How Washington became what it is today...and it should be no surprise to us. Here is what we must do.

Proverbs 28:13 (KJV)
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

It should be no surprise to us that Washington, the seat of our government, has become what it is today. Although this nation was founded on the principles of Your Word, we have turned. Although You have prospered us in every way, we have enjoyed Your prosperity, while crediting ourselves, and turning away from Your ways. We have grown fat and lethargic in every area of our lives.

We have not protected the pathway that brought us prosperity. We have fallen away.

We have given up humility and thanksgiving and replaced them with pride. The love of many has grown cold. We have become weak and forsaken our right to worship You. We have not loved our children enough to teach them Your Word, Your wisdom, Your justice, Your righteousness. We have put government as the center of our deliverance and we have not fervently prayed for Your protection on those who govern. Forgive us.

Surely, as we have gone about our days and our interests, and as we have forsaken Your ways, and as we have not worked diligently to preserve our relationship as One Nation Under God, it should come as no surprise to us that our nation has come to this place:

– We redefined success to be what we buy...and became a consumer nation
– We allowed our national debt to exponentially skyrocket
– We allowed prayer to be taken out of our schools
– We chose divorce rather than honoring our covenants
– We allowed marriage to be redefined
– We chose abortion rather than be inconvenienced
...and so many more.

Surely, we have forsaken Your ways. We have not prayed for our leaders; in our government, our churches, and our communities. We have created the government that now brings such folly. We have forsaken You. We are the cause of our current situation.

Call us to repent. Call us to change and may we respond with humility and thanksgiving. Let us rise up and take ownership and call upon You to heal our land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Father, I confess that I have enjoyed the privileges that have come to me because I am an American. Thank You that I grew up in this nation. I confess that I grew up with prayer in the schools, but I did nothing when it was removed. Forgive me. Help me to repent.

I confess that I have watched the moral decay of this nation and stood back, justifying my lethargy with the words, "God told us the world would turn from Him." You command me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, yet, I justify not doing so, thinking there can be no peace. Forgive me. Help me to repent.

The abortion rate continues and these people are Your inheritance. I have done nothing to help. At times, I have disdained the abortion industry, but I have not prayed for those caught in its lair. Forgive me. Help me to repent.

Divorce has become so commonplace that young people have no interest in marriage. I know of couples who are challenged in their marriage, but I have not prayed, or offered support. I have come to accept divorce as commonplace. Even though I know that You can change and heal relationships, I have not called upon You. Forgive me. Help me to repent.

Father, I know that debt is not the way of Your scripture. I allowed personal debt to get out of hand. Surely, it is no wonder that our national debt is now out of hand. I am part of the cause of it. Forgive me. Help me to repent.

This nation can not change on its own. Only through You can there be healing in this land. I can not change on my own. Only through You can I be healed. Teach me to repent. Teach the U.S. to repent. I appeal to You.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
