A Prayer of the Day. (Seeds of Shalom) https://www.facebook.com/Seeds-of-Shalom-863967120338361 “So Josiah removed all detestable idols from the entire land of Israel and required everyone to worship the LORD their God. And throughout the rest of his lifetime, they did not turn away from the LORD, the God of their ancestors.” (2 Chronicles 34:33 NLT)

Lord, our hearts are grieving as our loved ones worship false gods. Their minds are bound by tradition and superstition, and they believe a life means to follow those. They close their ears to hear the Gospel. Lord, we know this is a spiritual battle. There are evil forces behind them, and they cover their eyes, speak to them lies, and manipulate them. We want to set them free from those dark forces so that they can see the God of love and glory. You are the Creator, Life-giver, and Provider. They need you. Separating from you, they can do nothing, and they will wither. Oh Lord, what can we do for them then? We cannot change their mind, and we cannot save them, of course. Oh Lord, we feel we are so powerless. We come to you and cry out to you for their salvation. Lord, please set them free from the dark forces and save them. Tell us what we can do, so we will do it wholeheartedly because we love them. In Jesus name. Amen.
