July 4th

Psalm 2
 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One. (v.1-2) Kings, be wise; be warned you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling (v10), Blessed are all who take refuge in Him (v.12)

Heavenly Father, today we are reminded of our Nation's Independence.  I pray Father that as we gather in homes we take a moment to remember those who died serving to save. Lord Jesus, I pray that we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Your life on the cross in exchange for our spiritual freedom. I pray Your spirit rests on the leaders of this great nation and the rulers of earth so that they are filled with the wisdom of Solomon and they turn to You, the Anointed One for guidance. I pray Lord that You wrap Your arms around the injustice and violence that has gripped this land so that we can draw comfort and peace from Your embrace.  Guide us Lord by the power of Your Holy of Spirit to uphold and do what is right in Your eyes.  Strengthen and encourage us. Let us serve you with fear and bless us as we take refuge in You.  Let Your people call You by name, humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways, seek your face and pray, and trust that You will hear us from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land.
