Morning by Morning, April 17 - Signs of Hope and Recovery through Repentance and Prayer

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day. ...

"Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in" (Isaiah 58:12).

These are ancient Words of hope for the nation who turns to You and chooses to walk in Your ways once again. These are prophetic Promises of God for the land who's healed by the hand of God when her people seek Your face and listen for Your voice and obey Your will.

For a time, the streets of our land have been empty. There have been breaches in the walls of our sense of security and peace. In many ways, we've been shaken to our foundations and much of what we depended upon seem like they've been left in ruins.

Yet, there are signs of hope and words of encouragement. There's been a National Day of Prayer and endless days of prayer, as Your people who are called by Your name have humbled themselves to seek Your face and pray in repentance as we cry out to You for help (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Lord, let us learn the lessons You're teaching. After the shaking, let what remains be of You (Hebrews 12:27). After the sifting, let what is left be of You (Luke 22:31). You are our Foundation, not our personal finances. You are the Repairer of the Breach, not our health care system. You are the Highest Authority in our Land, not our politicians. And You alone are the One who can hear us and heal us and restore us to our calling and destiny in our hearts and in our land.

Let us turn to the One who is our Wisdom, our Strength, our Healer, our Deliverer, our Savior. Let Your ways become our ways and Your will become our will, as You hear our prayer and heal our land. As we hear Your Words of hope, as we embrace Your prophetic Promises, let our generation be a generation who learns and returns to the One who is sovereign over all -- the "King of Kings and Lord of Lord" (Revelation 17:14 and 19:16). May we be a nation who seeks You and turns to You in trust and obedience "without spot or blame until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about a the right time -- He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.... To Him be honor and eternal dominion!" (1 Timothy 6:13-16) In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

My Friend, may you be encouraged and filled with faith as you continue to pray for our land, our hearts, and our world to be healed by the hand of God, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
