Scripture Reading

Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
Reflection
On Independence Day we hold gratitude and sobriety together. We give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy and for those who paid for them. We also hold honestly the gap between what our nation aspires to and what it has fully achieved. Loving our country well means praying for it honestly — for righteousness to deepen, for justice to reach further.
Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, Most Gracious and Loving God, I ask that You will abundantly bless my family and I. I know that You recognize that a family is more than just a mother and father, sister and brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in You.


Father, I pray this request for financial blessing for me and all who join me in this message . And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings. Father GOD, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt burdens.


Release your Godly Wisdom that they may be good stewards over all that YOU have called them to be in their financial handling. Father, I know how Wonderful and Mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your Word and have the faith of a mustard seed, that you will pour out Your blessings.


I thank you now Lord for all the blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet.


In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.

Amen.
