WEEK 25

P r ay e r
“Guidelines for a Godly Nation” Lord, may we be a nation and a people that truly seeks Your face. Help us be a humble,
by Pastor Dan Chun praying, repenting people. Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Memory Verse: 2 Chronicles 7:14


“If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

This Bible verse gives four practical guidelines on how Christ-followers can be good citizens
and have a blessed nation. It’s not a bad checklist for our daily walk with Jesus.
T u e s d ay
1) Humble yourself.
Humility is one of the core values that we seek to embody at our church. Humility is seeing
life as it really is. We’re probably not as bad as we see ourselves, but we are not as great as
we think we are either. Humility is willing to be transparent about our faults, but also realistic
about what we have really accomplished with God’s help. Hence, humility gives us a thankful
heart, giving credit to God for all the good things in our life. God blesses America not because
we deserve it but because He is full of grace.

2) Pray. W e d n e s d ay
If God is our Creator then we should converse with Him daily in prayer. If it is true that 90%
of our world’s troubles is due to miscommunication, then we should talk to God as much as
possible about everything. How’s your prayer life?

3) Seek God’s face.


It’s not just about talking to God, but it’s also about seeking His face, meaning His will. We
want to do His will and not ours. We want to seek the pleasure of His countenance.

4) Turn from wicked ways. T h u r s d ay


Finally, we need to be people of repentance. When we have detected that we have done
something wrong, we must seek restitution and ask for forgiveness from the Lord and from
those we have wronged.

If we are not repenting in our lives, then perhaps we have not been seeking God’s face;
perhaps we have not been praying and perhaps we have not been humble at all.

As you memorize this verse for the week, spend Monday thinking about the area in your life
that needs more humility. On Tuesday think about the depth of your prayer life. If you don’t F r i d ay
pray daily, ask yourself, “Why not?”

On Wednesday determine if most of your prayers are about you, as opposed to seeking God’s
will, which might be different from yours. On Thursday, ask God if there is something you
need to repent of. On Friday, pray for our country, that we might be a humble, praying, God-
seeking, repenting nation. For only then will He heal the land that suffers from pride, greed,
racism, affluence, and other challenges.

It all starts with us. Under Armor For All Believers
