Awaken Devo Day 17 - July 17

Let’s read the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 29 as the Lord gives His Word to His covenant
people in exile. As you read this chapter, what are highlights of hope for the people in that
day? What application of hope can we find from God’s promises of this chapter for our
day? Write a few of them down (there are several).

Let’s Zoom in to V. 11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are
plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Let’s pray this promise to express TRUST in GOD TO LEAD OUR NATION
THROUGH THESE CRITICAL TIMES OF DECISION-MAKING

▪ Lord, we trust you to convict our nation’s leaders of your desire for them to work
together in unity for righteousness & the well-being of our nation.
â–ª Sovereign Lord, we appeal to you alone to give our nation a future and a hope.
â–ª Spirit of God, move upon the leaders of our nation to work together toward
resolving the following issues for the welfare of our nation:

o Tax reform
o Health-care reform
o Immigration reform
o National security
o Religious liberty
o Sanctity and dignity of human life
o Terrorism, both nationally and globally.
o Current wars – Russian aggression of Ukraine; Hamas (Iranian) vs. Israel.

• Lord and Defender, we appeal to you to protect the leaders of our nation and their
families, as well as the members of our military, both nationally and globally, and all
the first responders in our nation.

• Father, in these most critical moments in our generation, please call leaders of
denominations, churches, government, education, business, cities, and all
communities in our nation to create numerous gatherings that will saturate their
regions in prayer in unity for the healing of our nation.
