>If my people, who are called by my name, will 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.
>--2 Chronicles 7:14
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>Humility is not our culture's biggest asset or most desired character 
>quality. But humility is what is demanded -- not so much because it's 
>commanded (thought that would be enough), but because we've earned it. 
>Every year brings another wave of major failures in morality, character, 
>and spirituality. Rather than progressing culturally, we find ourselves 
>slipping. Humility is earned! So let's be humble and call upon the Lord!
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy and Almighty God, your deeds are awesome, your faithfulness is 
>overwhelming, and your mercy and grace are such a blessing. Yet I come to 
>you knowing that you hear me, despite the incredible distance between you 
>and I, between your worth and holiness and my lack. I confess that I, and 
>my culture and country around me have made a mess of what you so 
>wonderfully blessed us with. I come humbly asking that you reassert 
>yourself in our nation in clearly recognizable ways. I ask this in faith 
>through Jesus. Amen.
