-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Nahum 2-3

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Nahum 2-3 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Nahum You declared judgment and destruction upon the ancient city of Nineveh and the Assyrian empire. The Assyrians were notorious for attacking and destroying cities; for killing men, women, and children while taking everything of value, destroying what was left, and for enslaving and deporting the survivors.

In the 2nd and 3rd chapter of Nahum You proclaimed that the Assyrians and particularly the Ninevites would experience the same kind of horror that they had perpetrated upon others and History records that they were destroyed never to rise again.

Lord, we pray for our own nation that we would always champion justice and mercy; peace rather than war among the nations. We pray for our leaders that they would be slow to anger like You are and patient with other nations rather than quick to render a heated response.

Lord we are praying for a spiritual awakening in our nation; we want to see love and concern for ones neighbor, justice, unity, and peace under Your Son Jesus to prevail among our people once more, rather than the divisions we are now experiencing.

In Jesus name, Amen.
