1. 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10 NASB “And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” Father God, truly Your grace is sufficient for us, but at times that grace is not assimilated into our hearts and minds because we are not ready to receive it. Sometimes our desire to be right or justified keeps us from enjoying Your sweet presence. Help us to embrace difficulties, weaknesses, persecutions and insults with the affirmation that You do all things well. Help us to trust You more each day.
2. 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14 NASB “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Father God, we are a nation that needs to come before You in repentance. These verses tell of Your plan for the redemption of a country or land. Help us to seek Your face while praying humbly before we face dire circumstances? Impress on our hearts the urgency to intercede for our land, both individually and corporately.
