If I remember correctly, I wrote this during or after the National Day of Prayer. I volunteered as part of a group that was organized to have two people to be praying in APU’s prayer chapel for a set time; it was broken into segments so that there would be prayer the entire day.<\/p>\n
\u201cPraying for God to move in our hearts\u201d<\/p>\n
Lord, You alone have all power and authority;
\nThere is nothing in the universe that You do not see.
\nYou gave our nation everything, and watch over us every day
\nAnd yet, we have sinned greatly, and from You we have turned away.
\nWe have tried to keep pretending we are Your people still;
\n\u201cIn God we trust\u201d we say, but we have given man the right to kill
\nInnocent children who have had no chance at life.
\nEvery connection with You is being slowly severed as with a knife.
\nI come before You now, O Lord, to prayerfully intercede
\nFor this once glorious nation that is now so much in need
\nOf strong followers of Your Word. I pray that You would move
\nIn the hearts of those You wish to call to go out and prove
\nThat You indeed are still here, and You still care
\nAbout us-that when we are in pain, You will be there.
\nI thank You, Lord, for all You have done and have yet to do;
\nI pray, in Your Name, that all that is done in our lives would bring glory to You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
