"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12

Our nation is being bombarded with the determination of some to remove all evidence of God from every governmental entity. But God, in His word, has told Believers to pray as we see in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity."

Scripture also tells us,
"The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases.
All a man's ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart."
Proverbs 21:1-2

Since our leaders are in the hands of the Lord, He can bring about changed hearts and minds. In Him we place our trust and confidence, we must heed the admonition of the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 above.
And in Colossians 4:2,
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

And God has promised that He would hear us, forgive and heal 'if':
"If My people, who are called by My name, 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." 2 Chronicles 37:3

We also see in 1 Peter 4:17 that it has to start with the family of God (many churches have embraced the things of the world and need to return to God).
"For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?"

We are called to be a light in the world, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men..." Matthew 5:14-16

I close with a quote from Charles Stanley's Early Light, "But no matter what the condition of a nation, you can make a difference in your circle of influence by living righteously in an evil culture and reaching out to share the good news of Christ with a world that has lost its way."

Believers let us dress in the armor of God that we may stand firm as watchmen on the wall continually keeping our leaders and nation in prayer.

Thank you Lord for this great nation, we pray that you will restore it to the glory You wrought out through the Founding Fathers. We love you and thank you for this unique form of government; a government of the people, for the people and by the people. And we pray for your wisdom and guidance to our leaders each day.  We give You all the glory Lord for it is Yours alone.
Amen
