-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Joel 2:1-17
by Dr. D ~ July 19th, 2021
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 since You are 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 their hearts rather than their clothes and 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.
Thank you Father for always being there for us; Your promises in Your Word the Bible are still valid and real for us today in the midst of pandemics, droughts, pestilents, wars, extreme weather, and everything that is happening in our world. Let your Kingdom come and be in our midst now and forevermore.
In Jesus name, Amen.
