Seventeen Days of Prayer - Day Nine - January 12, 2021
DAY NINE:
“O Lord God
of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the
kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that
no one is able to withstand You?”[1]
Most High God, we
praise and honor You who lives forever: For Your dominion is an everlasting
dominion, and Your kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants
of the earth are reputed as nothing; You do according to Your will in the army
of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain Your hand
or say to You, “What have You done?”[2]
You alone are the
one True and Living God, and we, Your children, come before You this morning on
behalf of our country, our President, and ourselves. Deliver us from the
great evil that is seeking to destroy.
Father, the enemy
appears strong in our physical world. “O our God, will You not judge them?
For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us;
nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”[3]
And Lord, when Jehoshaphat
and all Judah prayed those words, You spoke through Your prophet: “Thus says
the Lord to you: Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude,
for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Position yourselves, stand still and
see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you…Do not fear or be dismayed…for the
Lord is with you.”[4]
Father, please do
for us what You did for Judah. As the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir
came against them, Judah began to sing and praise Your Holy Name. Lord, it was
in that moment You set ambushes to surround and contain the enemy. Confusion
seemed to spread among them, so that they turned against each other and quickly
fell.[5]
Lord, we are not
asking for loss of life, but justice, vindication, deliverance, and for You, in
Your great power, to rule in the kingdoms of men. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Our hearts, our
souls, and our lives are in Your hand. Let us position ourselves, stand still, and
soon see the salvation of the Lord. Help us not to fear or
be dismayed, but reassured and confident the LORD our God, the Holy One of
Israel, is with us, and He alone will fight this battle.
In the powerful
name of Jesus, we pray, Amen and amen.
