Good morning, Jesus.
Thank You, Lord! The political conventions are over. Politicians pounded the podium, declaring only their party had the solutions to fix the wrongs of our country. Did they not realize how futile their efforts were? Without Your precepts, man’s attempts may change behaviors but will never change man’s heart. There are some problems only You, Lord God, can solve. It all comes down to this one truth: our nation has a sin problem. Until we, as a nation and individually, “humble ourselves, forsake our evil ways, and look to You for repentance, will You listen to our pleas for mercy, bring us together and heal our land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
We pray for Your continued grace and mercy for our friends recovering from or going through the remnants of Hurricane Laura. Be the help they need. Be the great God who provides and restores. Be their protection from fraud and scams when wicked people try to deceive them. Be the God who gives them courage to face the uncertainty as they rebuild their lives. We can count on You, Lord, to be the great I AM in all circumstances.
We humble ourselves so You can heal our land, Lord God, Amen.
