-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 44
by Dr. D ~ June 12th, 2020
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-
Read Psalm 44 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
We have read the stories of your salvation and great deeds among the nations in the past. Our own history is filled with accounts of how you were at the foundation of our nation guiding events and bringing forth leaders and the people rejoiced and praised your name.
Now our history is being distorted and only the evil is being emphasized. The vision that brought forth our nation is now being nothing but the vain delusions and autocratic plans of immoral white men. Let all of the truth be known and prevail- bad and good but especially your blessings in the process.
We can now see that the founders of our nation were imperfect folks like we are but you blessed them anyway and this nation became the greatest ever. Now we wonder if this nation which is so divided right now can even survive.
But the followers of your Son Jesus continue to praise your name and lift up your teaching before a divided and scoffing nation. Your Holy Spirit continues to dwell in our midst and bring joy and confidence into our lives. We continue to proclaim that you are the author of history, the creator of all things including the very laws that science observes and records as ‘the truth.’
Do not forget us in this land, O Lord. Bring forth your revival once more among our people. Let the healing and miracles of your Kingdom come down in our midst and transform our families, our neighborhoods, our cities and nation. Let the plans of the enemy be turned back once more.
Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love! Let your Word be proclaimed in power across this land and let the truth be confirmed by works and miracles which cannot be explained away. Bring revival and light to a nation falling into darkness and living water to a thirsty people seeking the truth. Let there be new stories of your salvation and wonderful deeds in this generation.
In Jesus name, Amen.
