The People of My Land

It’s not uncommon to hear people pray the promises of 2 Chronicles 7:14 for their nation. It’s right, and we are commanded to pray for our governing authorities. We should pray for our countries often. Let’s frequently pray that God would give wisdom to our leaders and that they would execute their responsibilities with righteousness and justice. Let’s pray for God to save sinners. Let’s pray that churches would lead the way in our communities. However, we must remember that the specific context of this verse is for Israel–the people of God.
