We, Your people, called by Your name, now humbly come to You, seeking Your face (2 Chron. 7:14).

We lift up our hearts to heaven and say, “We have sinned.” Examine our ways and test them (Lam. 3:40).

We confess that we have provoked You to anger with worthless idols (Jer. 8:19) and have not defended the poor or fatherless (Jer. 5:28).

Help us, Lord, to cease from malicious talk, to spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry and oppressed (Isa. 58: 9, 10), to again call the Sabbath a delight and honor You by not going our own way (Isa. 58:13).

Restore us to Yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old (Lam. 5:21). Please forgive our sin and heal our land (2 Chron. 7:14).

CT Prays Dec. 2019 Prayer Points – 2

Francis Frangipane: “I believe that a great harvest season awaits us. It is easy to see sin and predict doom. Yet, the very fact that God gives us the privilege of prayer tells us He desires we participate with Him in the transformation of our world.

Indeed, even when a nation seems fully in the grip of evil, the heart of God is searching for one who would ‘stand in the gap before [Him] for the land.’ God’s heart is to redeem, ‘not destroy’(Ezek. 22:30).” (Except from “The Last Great Harvest.”)
