For such a time as this, please join in prayer for our country -

Heavenly Father

We confess as a nation we have turned from You and have been so ungrateful for Your bountiful blessings. Yet, even for a people out of Your will, You are ever faithful to keep watch over Your own.

The Book of Esther encourages us as it demonstrates Your care even when Your people are out our Your expressed will. During such godless times, though the wicked Haman had plotted to exterminate Your people, You were abiding in the shadows watching over Your own. Through Your Providence, You raised up Esther "for such a time as this” to thwart the plans of the enemy and give victory to Your people.

With the example of Esther, we take heart for our nation. Many, it seems, in high places have risen against You and Your people, calling good evil, and evil good, (Isaiah 5:20). Through Your Providence, Heavenly Father, we ask that You raise up men and women filled with Your Spirit – for such a time as this. Give us a heart of repentance so we may we turn to You, the only Savior and the only Source of Wisdom to overcome the daunting challenges we face in our nation and in this world.

In Jesus Name
Amen
