God Heal our Nation By Kimberly McCants

Daniel 2:21-23 (NLT) ²¹ He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.

²² He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.
²³ I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength.
You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded.”

I realize that with everything that is going on around us, sometimes it is very difficult to even know where to begin or even know how to pray. We begin to get weary in the midst of these heated political battles, the pandemic, the injustice and even through these uncertain times.  We begin to cry out to God for his mercy and his understanding. We long to see God heal our land. As for me, sometimes I even wonder if my prayers are even effective at this point. No matter how we feel, we know that God is yet Faithful, and the Peace and Power of God still reign over all the chaos and calamities around us in our nation today. That same Power that allowed prison chains to break, healed the blind man, healed the woman with the 12-year issue of blood, raised Lazarus from the dead, parted the Red Sea, and delivered the delirious from demons, that exact same Power is at work even today. God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever more.

 2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I once heard a statement, “To get our nation on its feet, we must get on our knees.” May we, as Kingdom people and Christians, begin to stand together in unity and as believers in Christ, and pray for God to heal our land, and strengthen His people. We can start by doing a self-evaluation and asking God to humble us and to help us be more like Him. May we get rid of the things that are not of God and turn from our wicked ways. May we fall on our knees and our faces before God and pray. Let us not only talk about prayer, but pray.  Let us not only agree on the importance of prayer, but pray. Let us not only preach on the power of prayer, but pray. May we pray for all those in authority and leadership (whether it be the government authorities, our spiritual leaders, work supervisors, etc.). May we pray for God’s miraculous intervention, for blind eyes to be opened, for bodies to be healed, and for many to see the Power of God like never before.
