Pray Our Country Will Turn From Wickedness!

2Chronicles; 7:14
(if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sins and heal their land.)

We may wonder what has happened to our country over the last few decades, but it isn't hard to find the answer. In a nut shell, we as a nation have wondered away from our creator and have turn to doing evil. We live in a time when sexual immorality is rampant, divorce rate is out of control, homosexuality is being taught as an alternate life style, abortions are an everyday occurrence. Mass killing are happening, mothers are killing their children, children killing their parents. People seem to worship money, movie stars, sports figures, possessions. We are brutal and unforgiving of others, we steal and cheat, we lie to one another to the point that you can't tell when someone is telling the truth or a lie.

There is however hope for us if we will humble ourselves and repent of our sins and ask God to forgive us. We need to pray for our leaders that they ask God for direction in decision making. We need to turn from our wicked ways and be obedient to the Word of God. God loves us and wants the best for us, but He will not force us to love Him. The truth is that without God in our life, our heart is bent on doing wickedness. Why? Because we have the sinful nature in us and it is in control.
Genesis; 6:5
(Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only on evil continually.)
This is one of the strongest and clearest statements about man's sinful nature.

God told the nation of Israel that if the would humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from their wicked ways, He would hear them and forgive them and heal their land. I'm sure that if our country would do the same, God would hear and forgive us and heal our land. If we refuse to turn, we are on the road to destruction.

God Bless You!
