We are studying the Book of Daniel in our Bible Study group. Last week we were asked to write a prayer for our nation, similar to Daniel's prayer of repentance for his people. This was my offering...(Your assignment to is to write one for your nation, too. Amen?)


 


Interceding for Our Nation


by


h. lena jones


 


Heavenly Father, Creator of all that is


We bow before you in humble confession


For the sins we, the nation of Canada,


Have committed against you


In thought, word, and deed!


 


Father God, in ignorance we have corrupted


The true meaning of the institution of marriage


Disgrace is upon us;


We have failed in leadership of our youth


Their sins are atrocious;


We have failed to meet the needs


Of the infirmed and destitute


Their cry is our shame!


 


Daily we pollute the planet with toxins,


Showing little regard for life—


For Your precious creation


We are indeed pitiful!


 


Your Commandments we no longer keep


And we neglect even the Lord’s Prayer


We are truly sorry, Father God, for our transgressions.


We repent of our sins and beg forgiveness.


In Jesus’ precious name


We ask mercy


Amen!

All the nations are polluted, in actions deeds and ecologly!
We all need to pray for God's mercy, indeed, but more so we need to be obediant to his word, which has all but gone by the board, i.e no Ten Commandments allowed in schools, public places, bibles being removed from Hospitals and other places where they are needed, woe unto the nations for trampling on God holy law, and for terrible disobedience...
As in the days of Noah

Heartfelt prayer Lena, Ty.
Love Ch'erie

Thank you for sharing such a much needed prayer, Lena. I live in Canada as well but consider the whole world as one place for all to live in harmony (I know, "pie in the sky thoughts" but...) Love and peace to you,

And so this poet humbly adds his "amen" to that of the author's.

Lena,

Our nation, all nations, needs to get down on our knees and beg for mercy; I'll have to see what I can come up with in answer to your challenge. Powerfully penned, this brought tears to my eyes.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This is a prayer that this nation really needs with Bush in the front seat.

LENA,
The net for interessory prayer warriors is dire need for our nations. This is excellent humble but offering the highest court in this world will honor. He also says pray for the leaders, that they are guided in judgements by his spirit. I pray for the President always and other worl;d leaders they are in charge of our lives here on this earth as far as humanity living goes. I always believe God is the ruller of all and all nations and not one thing goes unchecked without his knowledge of the wickedness and kindness shown to each other...
Agnostics would say How can you believe in a God that allows children to die, be abused, of proverty, distruction.... I beleive for the most part he doesn't and a finale judgement day is on the way for all evil doings in history of earth and mankind. But I also know he says in his word he allows each person a will a right to do as they please. And many our at their own wills when it runs against the grain of Gods righteous words.... Well I am ramblng but you struck a nerve........ And My spirit would never rest if I did not ramble the thoughts that came to me today in your poem and prayer and the past week in posts....From the Dens authors...

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRAYER>>>>

Peace, Love, Blessings,

Prayer Now Today and Always,

Joselyn

WOW, I didn't see any of the other contributions that your Bible study group wrote, but I can't imagine any of them were like this, Lena. It's so powerful, so honest, so humbling. Exceptional write. I also agree with Lew -- what nation cannot share this same prayer?
Much love,
CJ
