FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER: Day 14 - October 11, 2012

Day 14

Target: Congressmen

Romans 10:3

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

Founding Father Quote:

"Let the religious element in man's nature be neglected—let him be influenced by no higher motives than self-interest, and subjected to no stronger restraint than that of civil authority—and he becomes the creature of selfish passion or blind fanaticism."

-Daniel Webster, "Defender of the Constitution," U.S. Senator, Secretary of State

Prayer:

Lord, You are painfully aware of the mass confusion currently plaguing the House of Representatives and Senate at both the state and national levels. Today, we ask You to intervene on behalf of our citizens and convict the conscience of every man and woman holding a seat in our legislative government. May these elected officials move according to Your Word. Father, we thank You for the Godly men and women who are diligent in their service and who seek Your face before making life-changing decisions for our cities, states, and the nation as a whole. We ask that You bless the work of their hands and supernaturally protect them from all evil. May you multiply their good works and may Your light so shine before their colleagues, that those around them can only say, this congressman is blessed and highly favored of God. It is in Jesus' name we ask and pray, Amen.

ISN'T THIS THE VERY THING THAT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING?? THEY COMMIT SINFUL ACTS, AT JOEY D'S BEHEST, AND THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO "COVER IT UP" WITH PIOUS ACTS OF CHARITY, AND GOOD DEEDS, IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS!! THEY DON'T DO IT GENUINELY TO HELP OTHERS, ONLY TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD. EVEN HAMAN HAS DONE THIS, AND ITS SICK!! WE NEED TO START HOLDING THESE INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AND IT STARTS WITH REMOVING THEM FROM OFFICE. PROBLEM IS, WHEN ARE THE LOCAL DEMOCRATS GOING TO GET A BACKBONE AND ACT ON IT??
