I pray for America.
I pray that this country would be a safe place, that a gunman won’t shoot up my grocery store or my kids’ school, that bad guys in here would be put behind bars and bad guys out there would keep their nuclear weapons to themselves. I pray that we would have leaders with integrity who love freedom and unborn babies and poor people. I pray that earthquakes and droughts and hurricanes will keep their distance, and that America will prosper and flourish.
And more importantly,
I pray that the gospel of Jesus Christ will take root in this land. I pray that millions will bow their knees and give praise to their Creator. I pray for revival, for regeneration, for transformation.
But what if, in order to answer the more important prayer, God must allow
gunmen
nuclear weapons
financial collapse
natural disasters
What if these are the means of answering the more important prayer?
So, even though it scares me, I must pray, Your will be done.
