Daniel 2:20-21 “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.”

In Dr. James Dobson’s letter referenced in my previous post, he zeroes in on the true source of our salvation from the current national moral decline.  He states:

“What, then, is the solution to our moral crisis?  Who will defend the institution of marriage?  How will children be protected?  The same answer is relevant to each question.  It is concerted and fervent prayer.  Only the Holy Spirit can bring conviction for sin and a determination to do what is right.”

While there is no human construct that can save us from the perilous path we are on, there is something we can do.  We can pray!  We can pray to the One who owns wisdom and might.  We can pray to the One who gives wisdom and knowledge.  We can pray to the One who changes the times and the seasons.  We can pray to the One who sets up kings and who removes kings.

Indeed, we must pray!  We must pray fervently and concertedly.  We must pray daily.  We must pray acknowledging that a focus on anything else will cause our nation to head further towards failure.  We must pray understanding that a lack of prayer has gotten us into our current situation.  We must pray as if it is all we can do to make a change … because it is.

PLEASE PRAY THAT AMERICAN CHRISTIANS WOULD STICK TO FERVENT, CONCERTED, DAILY PRAYER TO CHANGE OUR TIMES.
