On this National Day of Prayer, every person who genuinely loves Jesus (Yeshua) and are committed following Him in Spirit and truth, should pause today and pray a prayer for our nation.
There is widespread division in an election year. Fear due to a virus that remains a mystery, massive unemployment caused by National closures to fight spread of the virus, economic uncertainty resulting from the closures and family unrest caused by mandates for social distancing! Hence, a National Day for Prayer could not have come at a more desperate time.
Jesus condemned cities including Capernaum where He lived with Peter in Matthew 2. They were condemned because they refused to acknowledge Him. He performed many miracles in those cities, yet
they refused to embrace Him.
Let us not be as those cities, rather, let us cry out to Jesus individually and collectively. He is more than able to heal the divides, resolve the mystery of Corona Virus, restore the economy and reunite the families.
Let us Pray in Jesus Name!
Shalom Aleichem and Happy Jerusalem Day,
