-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Jonah 4:1-5
by Dr. D ~ August 12th, 2021
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-
Read Jonah 4:1-5 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
The prophet Jonah was unhappy with You since You rendered mercy instead of judgment on Nineveh which he considered to be an enemy. He said:
“I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and relenting from disaster.”
We are thankful that You are merciful and slow to anger. This example of withholding judgment when the Ninevites repented gives us real hope for our own nation and also for us personally.
We seek a sovereign move of Your Spirit across this nation that will bring this people back to You and Your Word and teaching; that we might be blessed as we have been in the past rather than receive the judgment we seem to be headed toward. We are thankful for your love and mercy.
In the name of Your Son Jesus, Amen.
