Father it seems that every time our nation takes a step towards recovery it takes two steps back. Fighting and bickering in the Senate and the House of Representatives seems to go on every day. Discord with the White House and disrespect for our nation’s leader seems to abound. This is why we must put our hope and trust in You. Lord, in the midst of all these trials and difficulties. We look to You as our hope, our help and our strength.

So many people in our country need help. They need jobs, health insurance, protection from the environment and conditions they are forced in life in. Our lawmakers seem to have forgotten the citizens of our nation and have focused only on themselves. But Father, even in the middle of this season of discontent, we can find our contentment and comfort in You.

Our faith looks up to You. We will lift our eyes to the hills from where our help comes from; our help comes from the Lord who created heaven and earth. There is no foe, not even our national leader’s egos, that can withstand Your power and authority.

In this time of trouble, we are confident and boldly say, “God is our helper. He will answer the cry of His people from His holy hill.” Hear us oh Lord and answer us right away. For without You, we have no hope, but with You, all things are possible, even the healing of our land.

In Jesus’ name we pray and say, amen.
