A World on Its Knees
>> Monday, April 20, 2020
"God says, 'For a long time I kept silent; I did not answer My people. But now the time to act has come; I cry out like a woman in labor.'" (Isaiah 42:14)
One hundred seventy-seven nations around the globe have joined together in prayer—not just to a "god," but to Almighty God: Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit—believing that if God's people who are called by His name will humble ourselves and pray and seek God's face and turn from our wicked, sinful ways, then God will hear from heaven, forgive our many sins, and heal our lands. Each blue teardrop on the map above represents a church or a believer on their knees before God's throne of grace.
Fall on your knees, beloved, and pray!
This week's Unite714 prayer:
Heavenly Father, we humbly come before You and ask You to sustain us by Your mercy, Your grace, and Your power. We continue to trust in Your gracious promises that "no weapon that is fashioned against" us, our families, or our churches "shall succeed."
We take refuge under Your protective wings. Your faithfulness is our shield. By Your great strength, protect our hearts and minds from the grip of terror. Empower us, oh God, so that fear will not paralyze us or define our lives.
Great multitudes are affected by this appalling pandemic, and so we lift them up before You in prayer. Heal those battling this disease and comfort those who have lost loved ones. We know You alone are our Healer.
As 2 Chronicles 7:14 urges us, we identify with the sins of our nation and ask for Your forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Spare us from this "pestilence." Cleanse us from our sins. Heal our lands.
With one heart and one voice, we stand together in unity, asking You, Almighty God, to protect our cities, our nations, and the world from COVID-19.
We pray this in the powerful Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
