While listening to Daniel’s prayer this morning, I couldn’t help but wonder if the United States has lost favor with our Lord. I’m not comparing our current state with that of Jerusalem’s, but I’m just wondering. I know our country has been through hard times before, and I’m sure people have thought the same thing. Have we as a nation rebelled against our Lord? Is there a lesson to be learned from these hard times so many of us are experiencing? Is it time we as a nation set our face toward the Lord and seek him by prayer and supplications (Daniel 9:3)?
I believe that now more than ever is the time, regardless of who you voted for, to pray for our leaders in Washington. It’s not just what I think, it’s biblical.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 (English Standard Version)
Pray for All People
1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
