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.
What of Today’s Verse…
Humility is not our culture’s biggest asset or most desired character quality. But humility is what is demanded — not so much because it’s commanded (thought that would be enough), but because we’ve earned it. Every year brings another wave of major failures in morality, character, and spirituality. Rather than progressing culturally, we find ourselves slipping. Humility is earned! So let’s be humble and call on the Lord!
Let us Pray:
Holy and Almighty God, your deeds are awesome, your faithfulness is overwhelming, and your mercy and grace are such a blessing. Yet I come to you knowing that you hear me, despite the incredible distance between you and I, between your worth and holiness and my lack. I confess that I, and my culture and country around me have made a mess of what you so wonderfully blessed us with. I come humbly asking that you reassert yourself in our nation in clearly recognizable ways. I ask this in faith through Jesus. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Protected…
The light of God shines on my path. I am safe and secure.
In prayer, I focus on the well-being of my loved ones, myself, and people everywhere who need to be supported in prayer.
For all of us who are travelling today-to work or the store, across town or continents-I affirm that God’s spirit guides us on our way. I may be thinking of an individual or a family who is travelling to a place far from home for a time of reunion or relaxation. I bless those travellers on their journeys and know that the light of God is shining on their paths wherever they go.
This divine light is wisdom that illumines my path and the paths of those I hold dear. I envision us guided so that we realize our greatest fulfilment wherever we are wherever e may travel. At home or away, the light of God is with my dear ones and me, and in that light, we are safe and secure.
“He said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto you, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.’”-Daniel 10:19
