21 days - Fasting & Prayer

15 DIENA NO 21

Changing nations

Read Nehemiah 1:4-9.

Nehemiah represents his nation in fasting and prayer, asking for forgiveness on behalf of his nation. It does not matter whether he himself is guilty or not. He makes himself one with his people as a representative.

He had heard that his people suffered (Nehemiah 1:2-4). This broke his heart and was reason enough for him to fast. 

Which nations are particularly on your heart? Perhaps a nation whose blood flows in your veins? Or is God laying a particular nation on your heart? Perhaps God is burdening your heart with a particular region or people group? What breaks your heart when you hear it?

Nehemiah identifies himself with the sins of his own people. He does not say, "They have sinned," but he confesses the collective guilt and bows down under it.

Read 1 Timothy 2:1-3.

Also, Saint Paul repeatedly urges the Church to pray. For all people, especially for the government and leaders.

Prayer, Get Free & Next Step:

Ask Jesus how you can pray, and how you can ask forgiveness for your country or the country/group that is on your heart. Be inspired by prayers like Nehemiah and Daniel.
