Hezekiah And Asa, Our Examples

II Chronicles 31:21

King Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.

O my father, I thank You for giving us King Hezekiah's story, and telling us all about King Asa, and all the other accounts of Your people as examples for us to follow. Help us as a people to follow their example of seeking You with our whole heart, not being double-minded, but seeking Your Face in all that we do. 

You set up and throw down our leaders, the "kings" of our nations. I believe that You have given us a Christian President now as Your Hezekiah or Your Asa, to lead us back into Your ways. Strengthen him and protect him from the enemy's attacks.

Continue to wake up Your church in America from our deep sleep; awaken us to the realization of how far we have fallen, how deep is the pit we have tumbled into down that slippery slope of the enemy's lies. 

Father, I pray that You would return us to Your righteous ways. Rain down Your righteousness upon us all, as floods have deluged areas of the world, may Your righteousness soak us through, to cast down all the idols and pagan altars that have brought us shame. Forgive us, Father, and heal our land.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
