PRAYER OF SUPPLICATION FOR OUR NATION
God, we are in a political, societal, communal Dark Age where we are journeying through uncharted territory. We have been hijacked by indifference to tolerance and tolerance of historic intolerables. Our society is “out of order,” our innocence has been stolen (or forfeited) and we are without passion, prayer and action. Our Christianity has become so private that we cannot even identify it ourselves.
Our governments, and sadly many of our churches, are, through their actions and inactions, assuring us of a culture of death. For some godless reason we have come to believe that the number of people either voting or shouting in protest determines “right.”
Our conversations are shallow, our society is without a rudder and we are hemorrhaging. We cannot navigate our streets at night, the programming of the electronic media is shockingly dreadful and those who should be our shepherds are but hirelings. Other shepherds have absented themselves from the public square and no longer engage in the arena of civil debate believing that Your Bible has no place in the political and social affairs of men. We have few Sons of Issachar willing to lead us to the meadows of Runnymede on the bank of the Thames where we may forge once again a Magna Charta of liberty.
God, we do not seek to turn the clock back, but we do desire a progressing transforming change because we have forfeited our Moral Compass, and His name is Jesus. You owe this generation nothing, for we are but a race of sinners, but we need You. We prayerfully wade in the brine of our tears trusting that the object of our tears will not perish. We pray in the name of Jesus for the coming of the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ – that He will reign forever and ever.
