Morning Moment of Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father...This morning, as I celebrate July 4th in my home nation, I recognize as I read Your Word that You are calling on myself and Your church to repent (change the way we think) and turn from our wicked ways. You have required that of me and all who love You. You are not asking in this passage anyone else to repent, but You have spoken to believers. Please forgive us, Lord, of our anger, fear, impatience, hostility, intolerance, and injustice when we have turned from Your unconditional love, as demonstrated on the cross, for ALL people. May humility, kindness, and generosity reach many for Your kingdom—the only kingdom that matters. In the Name of the One Who Alone Rules and Reigns, King Jesus. Amen!
...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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
