Why we must pray for our Nation
2 Chronicles 7:11-22
King Solomon dedicated the temple and saw God's awesome presence there. Once the festivities were over, God answered. coming to Solomon in the nigh God laid it out plain and simple. If the people would follow God's ways, then he would hear their prayers and heal their land. Looking back through Israel's history, it is obvious that every time the people did not follow God's plan, they did not receive what God had planned for them.
We can ask ourselves, how could they have missed it? God couldn't have been clearer in His instructions. And yet, we too often miss what God is saying. God is still saying that if we follow His ways our lives will be better, yet often we don't follow and then wonder why things go the way they do.
God is still saying, "Pray for your nation." Whe3ther we like our leaders or greatly disagree with them, God calls us to humble ourselves and pry for them.
Our land needs healing, Goed's promise is that if we turn from our wicked ways, He will forgive and heal. That won't happen without prayer.
Hugs and prayers
