God,
We pray today that you would help our nation be united. Many, many people are using the current cultural, economic, and political climate to divide this country. Her people are divided into focus groups and target demographics instead of understood and appreciated for the strengths and varieties they bring to the nation. Each person is pushed to identify as "red" or "blue," and then expected to virtually hate the other choice. Our Founding Fathers did not created a "red" or "blue" nation but a United States of America. Help us to honor their work in creating this nation and to not allow ourselves to be ripped apart in this time.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand." - Jesus (Mt. 12:25 NIV)
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there." (2 Chronicles 7:13-16 NIV)
