I received the following recently from a friend. It is a great reminder as we are in prayer leading up to Election Day, and certainly beyond, too:
“I have a prayer request. There’s a lady I’ve know forever. She’s very sick. On top of that, she’s being abused by those to whom she has given everything….Lies about her abound, and seem to come from all sides. Just breaks my heart. Seems there’s nothing I can do alone but maybe, if we join in and lift her up together, we can heal her. She’s well over 230 years old, but way too young to die. Her name is ‘America’…and I love her and have always been proud of her. Take time to say a prayer for her – even if it is a short, simple prayer like, ‘Lord, please heal our land. Amen’. “
“If My people, who are called by My Name, shall 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 will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
