2 Chronicles 7:13-14 “13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Abraham Lincoln - Proclamation for a National Day of Fasting, Humiliation & Prayer, April 30, 1863 “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.” Shared from our Small Group Study- The Truth Project Lesson 10 October 24, 2013
