LET US PRAY

Interposition: The Prayer

“…as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”
–1 Samuel 12:23

That the national government is getting farther and farther away from our Constitution is obvious to any honest student of America’s Founders’ philosophy. There is great need for the working of interposition as they called it: The Biblical term for a person or an agency to step in between the disordered government and the people’s rights, in order to preserve those rights. This process begins in prayer. We must commit to join the thousands who are daily pleading with God to intervene in our national affairs.

As the prophet Samuel prayed for Israel’s disordered government servants, let us faithfully do the same; knowing that God is in control of all government, even disordered ones. Robert E. Lee echoed this when he said, “Let us pray for our nation… Let prayer be our passion; let prayer be our practice.” LET US PRAY . . .

Father, in Jesus’ Name, we admit to You that our governments are now so far from Your order revealed in Your Word. We are wrong. Not deserving it, but appealing to Your mercy, we humbly ask you to intervene in our nation’s governments. Please remember the sacrifice and the prayers to You by our forefathers when they asked You to bring their children back if we strayed. For Your own glory, that the world might know that You keep Your covenant, please turn us and our government servants back to You and the order of Your Word. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing us.

Please pray for our nation and our government leaders who are not following God.

May our hearts continue to be HIS throne!
