I have been drawn to T.V. news because my heart grieves for our country, and I see our love for God and our personal freedoms slipping away. This saddens me. I’ve been looking for hope in the positives of the news, but unfortunately, that has taken my focus off Heavenly things. I need to spend less time watching T.V. news and more time in prayer to change the direction of America. I’m praying for God to increase my faith, so I can pray fervently for America.
I desire to not focus on the negatives, but on what God can do.
I desire to limit T.V. news time with the help of the power of the Holy Spirit. Apart from Christ, I can do nothing. God promised the Israelites, if they would turn from their sin and turn back to Him, He would heal their land. I believe the following scripture is true for us today.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
(2 Chronicles 7:14 WEB)
Sometimes, I feel alone like Elijah when he said,” … the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” (1 Kings 19:14 KJV)
Have you felt alone and helpless, as if there are not enough people praying to change the tide of socialism and regain our freedoms? God said to Elijah, “Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal… “(1 Kings 19:18 WEB).
God was telling Elijah that he was not alone. God has a plan and we are not alone. Many are praying. Please pray fervently that the people of our country will humble themselves and turn back to God.
