While both the President of the United States and the leaders of Iran say that they do not want war, the choices made soon will determine what happens next. Our leaders need our prayers more than ever to be able to make the right and best decisions. Our troops also need our prayers for protection.
This certainly is a time of prayer for Christians everywhere. Such political and military action often hinders the cause of the Gospel going forward and may even undermine it in places.
Revival is desperately needed in this country. Once God's people truly seek Him and confess their sins, God can act on behalf of His people - as He has promised in II Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
God has no limits as to what He can do. However, He does often limit His own actions to the prayers of His people. May we not discover later that these problems could have been averted if only more people prayed like they should!
Will you be one Christian who will seek God's face for revival in America, and for protection of our troops and wisdom for our leaders?
