Prayer for Thursday 8-11-2022

Lord our God, grant that we may be Your watchmen, who can understand what You mean for our time. We thank You for all You have already done, for every change to the good among the nations. For the nations must and will bow to Your will so that nothing happens unless accomplished by and through You. Judge us rightly wherever necessary. Open our eyes to see where we are wrong and where something does not go according to Your Spirit of holiness. Be with us and give us strength. Raise up more watchmen everywhere, in every place and in every home. Wherever something happens to move people’s hearts, let the watchmen proclaim, “This comes from God. It does not matter how much we suffer. This comes from Jesus Christ, who suffered and died, but who rose again.” Raise up such watchmen among young and old everywhere on earth, to the glory of Your name. Let there be a people who go to meet You with shouts of joy and continual thanksgiving. In the name of our Lord of lords and King of kings, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
