Furnace Prayers: Had enough? a wake-up call? On the precipice?

Father, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit,

Blessed be the God of my salvation! My hope rests in You for You alone define the future. Praise be to God who is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. You know all, You are in every place at once, and You are all powerful. There is none like You. Raise up praise in the lives of all that Your glory may be exalted! Amen!

There is so much work to do. Every day seems to bring more concerns. The enemy is working overtime to ensure we are distractions from Your will and from the real work that You have called us to do.

Yet You promise that You will bring good from this:

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God of heaven, we need vision. You have warned us:

Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

Father, many in this nation are petitioning You through prayer and fasting. The mixed messages from our government seem to be without reason or end. When will it be enough?

• — The CDC reports that masks aren’t really effective but we should use them…even double layer them. Are we being tried to see how deeply we can be manipulated?
  
• — You believe in borders. You set the first borders! Yet, our border is being utilized to take down this nation…and we bear Your Name: One Nation Under God.
  
• — The walls of fences around Washington DC…are people there afraid? Has the fear that has been sent on us, with C19, now coming back at them?
  
• — This Bill to bring “relief!” O Father. It’s all Yours. What is in it that offends You? Only a small portion is for relief from C19. So many pet projects. Are they Your “pet” projects.

Have You had enough?
Shall I ask that You intervene? You use people to do Your work. You use Your faithful AND You use others. The earth IS Yours and ALL that is in it. So it is Yours to use.

If You intervene, will You do so directly? Or will You raise up voices among Your faithful to speak out? So many seem ignorant. Others seem apathetic. Many are fearful. Will You change our fear for determination? Will You change our apathy to compassionate concern for the lost? Will You raise up teachers to proclaim Truth? I ask it.

Jesus, You calmed the waters. It was Your water!
Father, You allowed Job to be tried beyond what seemed reasonable. He was Yours to try…and thank You that You restored him double!
Holy Spirit… Ananias and Sapphira…You knew they lied and You took their life.

O God, You are the Giver of Life.

Job 1:21
Job tells us: ...Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Now there is a bill in Connecticut and other states to legalize assisted suicide. You know about it: “Death with Dignity.” Have You had enough O God? Would you intervene directly? Or raise up Your faithful to engage others.

Are we on the precipice for change?
I think this is true…we are on the precipice. That means this could go one way or another. Which way will it go? I think we are and I call upon You alone to help us! HELP LORD! What is Your answer?

Will You rapture us out?
Bring a massive revival?
Leave this nation to self-destruct?

Father, I have had enough! I come to You to set before me the work that You have for me that I may do it with integrity and in the manner that delights You. I can only do this with Your help. I avail myself for Your work.

Galatians 6:9-10
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

You want all men to be saved. Use me Lord. Engage those who will avail themselves. Use those who are ignorant. Use those who don’t want to know. Use those filled with fear - they are ALL Yours.

For the sake of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
