In recent weeks I have been greatly impacted by Psalm 125, verse 3 in particular and have not been able to let go of it.
"The sceptre of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil."
Yesterday in prayer it seemed to grow and become a loud cry to the Lord, to resound over our nation in these days.
Lord, may the sceptre of the wicked not remain over the land allotted to the righteous. May You rule and reign and have all authority over us and over this nation. May the government be upon Your shoulders for You rule with justice, mercy and grace and in righteousness.
You alone are God of nations and You alone are the Creator of all, and You alone give life and light. Turn Your face towards us O God, let Your light shine over this nation that all darkness will flee.
Just as You brought salvation and deliverance to Your people Israel, Lord bring Your goodness to this nation. Arise, be seen in the midst of us, O Lord, with healing in Your wings.
Restore us, refresh us, redeem us with Your Truth, Your Love, Your Word. Speak words of life into the heart of this nation and cause us to arise, stand, and abide in You alone.
I also read that scripture recently and was impacted by the words. Amen to your prayer.
ReplyDeleteAmen Judith, Amen to all that you have prayed and the cry which has come out of your heart, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen... :-)
