Today we prayed this beautiful prayer by Anne Graham Lotz: LORD of the Universe, Lord of this planet, Lord of the nations, Lord of our hearts, on this National Day of Prayer, we look to You. IN the darkness, You are our Light. In the storm, You are our anchor. In our weakness, You are our Strength, In our grief, You are our comfort. In our despair, You are our Hope, In our confusion, You are our Wisdom. In time of terrorism, You are our shield. In time of war, You are our Peace. In times of uncertainty, You are the Rock on which we stand. We make our prayer to You using the words of the prophet Daniel: O Lord, You are the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of love with those who love Him and keep His commandments. You are merciful and forgiving. You are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame because we have sinned against You and done wrong. We have turned from Your commands and principles. We have turned away from You. Yet You have promised in 2 Chronicles 7, that is we, a people would humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, then You would hear our prayer, forgive our sin and heal our land....this day we choose to repent. In response, please turn away your anger and Your wrath from the United States of America, hear the prayers and petitions offered to You on this National Day of Prayer. Give ear our God and hear, open Your eyes and see. For the glory of Your Name hear our prayer, forgive our sin and heal our land. We ask this in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ who offers us salvation from Your judgment, forgiveness for our sin and reconciliation with You through His own blood shed on the Cross. Amen.
