-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Amos 4

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Amos 4 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Amos you proclaimed judgment upon the nation of Israel because they oppressed and mistreated the poor and worshiped false gods and adhered to false traditional religious practices. You withheld the rain and brought weather problems and pestilence upon that nation and yet they did not return to you.

We pray now for our own nation that we might receive mercy and revival rather than judgment for killing and aborting our little ones and for racial inequity and injustice for the poor and for following false teachings, false philosophies and religions, and for practicing witchcraft.

Also, increasingly Americans are leaving the faith of your Son Jesus and exchanging it for philosophies which bring no hope and political actions which result in division and hate. Plus many of those who still worship you and believe in your Son Jesus are discounting your Word in the Bible and others continue to follow religious traditions which do not bring them any closer to you or the life changing power of your Holy Spirit.

Father, let your Spirit hover over this nation once more and bring a new awakening that we might come closer to you and your life changing power. Let America turn back to you and your Son Jesus and let your Word and the Good News of your Kingdom be confirmed in our midst and in the middle of our cities and neighborhoods through signs and wonders, and healings and miracles; that we may become a Christian nation once more.

In Jesus name, Amen.
