Pensamento:
Qual é o deus da nossa cultura e do nosso país? Certamente nosso Deus é o SENHOR, Yahweh, Rei de Israel e Redentor dos perdidos. Ele é Rei de todas as nações. Mas Ele não é necessariamente o Deus do nosso país. Estamos longe de ser "uma nação sob Deus". Mas podemos orar para que o reavivamento tome conta da nossa terra. Podemos nos arrepender por não colocá-Lo primeiro na nossa própria vida. Ele nos prometeu responder, se nós nos humilharmos e O buscarmos. Façamos isso começando hoje!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Each of us needs to ask ourselves: "Who or what is the god of our culture and nation?"* Certainly, our God is the Lord, the King of Israel and Redeemer of the lost. He is the King of all nations, yet he is not always valued as God in our nations. In the hearts of all people, we are far from "one nation under God," but God is Lord of all nations. So, we can pray for revival to sweep our lands. We can repent for not placing him first in our own lives. He has promised to respond if we humble ourselves and seek him as a people, a church, and a nation (2 Chronicles 7:14). So, let's commit to humbling ourselves as we come to God in prayer, and then invite others to join us, to meet Jesus, to know our Father, to be filled with the Spirit, and to be made one with the "ruler of the Kings of the earth" (Revvelation 1:5).

Oração:
SENHOR, Deus dos céus e Pai de todas as nações, humilho-me diante d0 Senhor, reconhecendo meu próprio pecado e o pecado do meu povo. Peço que o Senhor nos reavive pelo poder da Sua Palavra e pelo poder santificador do Seu Espírito. Traga renovação e revivamento à nossa terra. No nome de Jesus e pelo poder do Espírito peço essas coisas. Amém. || Veja a imagem: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_2cronicas7_14.html
My Prayer...
Lord, God of the heavens and Father of all nations, we humble ourselves before you today, acknowledging our personal sins and the sins of our people. We pray that you will revive us by the power of your Word and through the sanctifying power of your Spirit. Please bring renewal and revival to our land so that you can be glorified, and so peoples that you love can come to you through Jesus and be one. In the name of Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we ask this. Amen.
