You are the God who listens and hears. You hear deeply. You go past the words and to the hearts and minds of those who seek You. You are the God who reveals Himself and does not hide. Hear my plea!
Answer me, O God who is merciful.
Panic surrounds this nation. The enemy shouts loudly, the wicked oppress and trouble is heaped on trouble and they angerly torment us... And Your people shudder.
Our hearts pound within us. Anguish surrounds us. The terroro fo death press down on us because we are Your people. Fear and trembling overwhel us and horror permeats every cell.
Oh that we had wings like a dove and could fly away and find rest.
You, O God are our rest. You protect us from the raging wind and storm. You are our Stong Tower.
God of mercy and grace, confuse and confound the speech of the wicked. Their violence and fighting continue in the cities, O GOD, it continues in their hearts and it overwhelms Your people. Day and night the eneimies of Your people move swiftly to bring malice and mischief. THey bring ruin and oppression. Fraud is everywhere!
Division threatens every good thing.
- Family member against family member
- Teachers against parents
- Racial division
- Political division
- Gender and marriage
- Rich and poor
- Global and national allegiance
Indeed, it is the enemy who has brought insult and swayed and defrauded this nation. We should have expected this from the adversary and been proactive. We didn't.
Our friends have turned from us. Companions defy us. Even church friends are deceiptful. We used to be friends. We used to be neighbors. Now we embrace division. Forgive us.
Bring them back us! Let us refrain from division! Let us come together in the Spirit for the sake of Jesus' salvation that waits for us, pleading that we find Him and receive His gift of salvation.
O God, for those who will never change; please take them out. I call on You to save us.
Every day, all day I complain to You and moan. I know You hear me. Thank You. You redeem me and You give me peace. You hear and humble those who fought me.
Grant us discernment when their words sound smooth as butter, but their hearts are at war. Grant thouse who would follow you to find Your sustenance. Do not permit us to be moved, for we come in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Bring down Your enemy O Lord, Down to the deepest pit. Cause those who are bloodthirsty and treacherous and who will not bend their knee now, to be removed.
I come. Your child. Hear my prayer.
Maranatha!
