Prayer of Forgiveness and Deliverance From Desolation, Part II

Daniel 9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

(Prayer continued from Part I:  Daniel 9:4-8) ^9-12 “‘Compassion is our only hope, the compassion of you, the Master, our God, since in our rebellion we’ve forfeited our rights. We paid no attention to you when you told us how to live, the clear teaching that came through your servants the prophets. All of us in Israel ignored what you said. We defied your instructions and did what we pleased. And now we’re paying for it: The solemn curse written out plainly in the revelation to God’s servant Moses is now doing its work among us, the wages of our sin against you. You did to us and our rulers what you said you would do: You brought this catastrophic disaster on us, the worst disaster on record—and in Jerusalem! …’”  Daniel’s prayer is as relevant today as it was then.  Scripture tells us that we all have sinned and not measured up to God’s standards.  Therefore, because of the rebellious attitude of Daniel’s as well as our city, nation, and people the curse was poured and is being poured upon this nation because we all have sinned against God.  Let us, who believe in the power of the Almighty God, pray for this nation as well as ourselves, that we will let the glorious light of our heavenly Father shine through us and make a difference for His kingdom.  (Prayer to be continued)

Scripture References:  Daniel 9:9-12 The Message Bible; Roman 3:23

Prayer for today:  Father, I ask you to forgive us individually, as a people, as a city and as a nation for rebelling against you.  In JESUS name, AMEN.

Whatever you must do today, there is a grace for that.  Accept the grace and make it a sweatless day.

Love
