Isaiah 55:8

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

Dear Lord God Almighty,

I thank You that Your ways are higher and Your thoughts are not our thoughts as we have made quiet a mess, all because of our wicked thoughts and deeds. I pray for Your peace and wisdom across this vast land, this nation that was once under You God. My how we have strayed and gone our own way. I so want to scream WAKE UP people! Fill your oil lamps and get ready. Forgive us Lord we are lost, have gone astray, trampling as we go all that You have called lovely, pure and holy . Turning to our own ways and have forgotten our first love, Jesus. You alone are our rock and redeemer and we desperately need You now.  I pray Father that You would bless Your chosen, Your children that You have called with wisdom and discernment for the hour we are living is truly challenging. Shelter us from all forms of evil and may it graciously pass over us. Bring us to Your Holy mountain for we are foreigners in a strange land. But we have joined ourselves to You Lord and we love and adore You for You are our mainstay, cup and portion. May we be found ministering to You as we sit at Your feet feeding on Your word. Even in this dark hour with confusion abounding may praise be continually on our lips as You remove all falsehood and lying and expose the truth to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Father please once again be merciful to Your wonderous creation and may Your precious Son Jesus be glorified and lifted high. If we ever needed You certainly it is now.  By Your Holy Spirit cleanse and heal this land and its inhabitance. Purify our heart and minds so everlasting joy may be like rivers of water to make glad the world both near and afar. Jesus I love You and thank You for saving me please oh Lord God Almighty save this lost and dying world. In Your great name, Amen.
