Prayer is an opportunity for us to communicate with the creator of the universe, the king of kings, the source of truth & all wisdom.
Learning to listen to God is part of communicating with Him. Often we struggle to discern God’s voice as He rarely speaks audibly and directly.
Usually He speaks through the Scriptures. Sometimes He directs us through events, or we receive guidance through other believers, or we receive an internal conviction (the Holy Spirit), or dreams, or in our pain.
We must be bold in the way we pray asking God for wisdom & guidance to help us grow God’s kingdom in our local churches, our community & our nation.
As Christians we are concerned with the spiritual decline that has occurred in our nation over the last 20 years. More and more people are turning away from God each year. We would like to do something to bring ourselves and our people back to the one true God.
This is a big challenge and it seems overwhelming to us as individuals.
There are various ways we as a people can reverse this decline in Christianity. But what we must first do is what God’s children have done in the past, we can begin to pray.
We must engage in repentant prayer and pray that as a nation we would acknowledge, honor and turn back to the Lord, submitting ourselves to His superiority and sovereignty in our lives.
