Choosing Jesus

Lord,

Forgive us for yielding to selfish diversions. We are consumed with sports, recreation, and entertainment and we cannot see what is happening in America.

Others, see what is happening but are selling the nation for “perks” or “personal benefits” thinking that is good politics. We’re divided and blinded on the true battle for America. We are willing to accept the “bad” so that we can gain what we perceive as “personal advantage.” We are willing to broker deals with the devil himself, believing we can come out ahead. What a lie! Actions taken with these notions results in loss of freedom as we become slaves to hell. We deserve this judgment.

Is there not a true “hope” for us. A hope not brokered by the slogans of a man or a political campaign but “hope” that arises from lifting up the name of Jesus Christ. From returning to our heritage as a Christian nation—from turning back to the one and true God.

Jesus, we call upon you to bring us revival. Jesus, we call upon you to come and visit us once again. We ask your forgiveness for turning our backs on you. We choose to surrender to your authority. We choose you—Jesus--to be our Lord and Saviour!
