-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Joel 2:1-17
by Dr. D ~ January 28th, 2020
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion:
Read Joel 2:1-17 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
As in the time of Joel, we face natural catastrophes around the world and in our own country. Many voices are calling for extreme measures to remediate what they see as human causes for the ‘global warming’ and extreme weather changes.
You have also declared in Your Word that there would be extreme weather problems and natural disasters in the ‘Last Days’ before Your Son Jesus returns.
Regardless of the ultimate causes for the natural calamities that we are continuing to face; it is always a good time to seek to be closer to You that You might be our shield and protector in the midst of it all.
The prophet Joel counseled ancient Judah to return to You with all of their hearts; to
rend your hearts rather than their clothes, come closer to You instead of responding with traditional religious acts.
We pray for our own nation to return to You, our Lord and God; for You are always gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. We pray for blessings upon our nation instead of judgment; a new Spiritual awakening and revival rather than disaster.
In Jesus name, Amen.
