AN URGENT CALL FOR PRAYER!!!
God’s familiar word in 2Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) has an urgent call for us to pray for our nation for such a time as this New Year, this month, this week, this day, this very hour.  Almighty God’s word for us right now IS, “IF My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  The LORD is speaking directly to US, HIS PEOPLE, in this passage of Scripture.  Father God, thank You for giving us YOUR KEYS for getting our prayers answered.  You have reminded us to #1 BE HUMBLE, #2 PRAY, #3 SEEK YOUR FACE (SEEK YOU/YOUR WAY OF DOING…), #4 TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS (REPENT).  These KEYS ARE NOT A SUGGESTION FROM GOD TO ANSWER OUR PRAYERS, they are an URGENT COMMAND FROM HIM.  THEN, GOD’S WORD says, I will: #1 HEAR (you) from heaven, #2 FORGIVE your sin, and #3 HEAL your land.  Father God Your word also tells us in John 14:13-14, Whatever we ASK IN JESUS’ NAME, HE WILL DO so that YOU, Father God, are glorified...  LORD, thank You for YOUR IMPORTANT KEYS to answering our prayers.  Help us to be doers of your word and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves and hindering the answers to our prayers.  Many of us have already been praying a very long time for this nation and other issues.  LORD help us to remember Your word for us in Galatians 6:9, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”  Thank You, LORD for showing us (Your people) how to grow closer to You and Jesus Christ, to read Your word, to get answers to our prayers in our personal lives, as well as for every aspect of our nation.  Father God, thank You for the encouragement that comes from Your word, as in 2Corinthians 4:17-18, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are TEMPORARY, but the things which are not seen are ETERNAL.”  Father God, thank You for revealing to us the urgent need for prayer for such a time as this.   All Glory, honor, praise, and gratitude to our Great God and to Jesus Christ because of their love for us and Their desire to answer our prayers. 

Would you like to be saved and develop a relationship with God as your Heavenly Father?  If you would really like to know God, invite His Son, Jesus Christ, into your heart.  Please pray this prayer:  Dear God, please forgive me of my sins.  I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is Your Son.  I believe that He died on the cross, shed His blood, and rose from the grave for my salvation.  I confess Jesus right now as my Savior and Lord.  God fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can live a life that pleases You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!  If you prayed this prayer and really meant it, based on Roman 10:9-10, you are saved.  Welcome into God’s Family!
