Psalm 2:1
Why are the Nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?
O my Father, the rulers of the Nations of the World really are angry, and plot and plan to rebel against Your benevolent goodness You desire to bestow on them. They have blinded their own eyes and stopped their own ears, lest they see Your salvation and understand Your love for them; and chosen instead to go their own way, making themselves their own gods, deceived and led into bondage by our enemy; calling good evil and evil good.
And even here in this Nation that was founded upon Your very Word and ways, we have strayed so far from Your righteous principles that we are forfeiting so many of the wonderful blessings You have previously bestowed upon us. Please forgive us, and strengthen those who are striving to bring us back to Your righteousness as a Nation; lead and guide them into the right ways, and protect them from the wrath of our enemy, who knows his time is short. Fortify Your fortresses, O Lord, in justice and in mercy, to show the World Your wisdom and compassion, to draw many multitudes to Yourself from every Nation, people, family and language.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
