Daily Prayer_Prepared for the Alaska Governors Prayer Breakfast

Closing Prayer for March 10, 2012 Governors Prayer Breakfast

Herb Cotton, Baton Rouge, LA via Skype

 

Father God, our maker and sustainer. We come before your throne of grace as an empty pitcher before a full fountain.

 Father, we ask you to give us what we need, and not what we want in these perilous last days. Father God, we need an abundant outpouring of grace and mercy to make it through these difficult days.

Our problems are too big for solutions by the Government alone. However, our destiny is in the hands of God and not Government.

Father, my prayer today is that the people of God assembled in this place will return to the God of their salvation. God is the only hope for a brighter tomorrow. Lord, send a revival, and let it begin in me.

I close with this thought from the OT scriptures of a conversation between King Solomon, and the King of Kings. The Lord said to Solomon "I have heard your prayer". Then God said:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Father, send us forth to be people who will pray like Solomon prayed. Even the wisest among us need to pray; If Jesus needed to pray surely we need to pray. Prayer is the life blood of God's people. May we leave this place, and continue to pray for Alaska, and America. Amen.
