Godliness makes a nation truly great
Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) was a pivotal figure in American history, known for his work as a social reformer, abolitionist, and writer. Born into slavery, he escaped and became the leading voice in the fight for African-American civil rights in the 1800s.
I have one great political idea … That idea is an old one. It is widely and generally assented to; nevertheless, it is very generally trampled upon and disregarded. The best expression of it, I have found in the Bible. It is in substance, "Righteousness exalteth a nation—sin is a reproach to any people." (👈️ Proverbs 13.34)
The New Living Translation renders Proverbs 13.34 as “Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.”
Question: Will America be truly great or disgraced?
Pray AmericanDNA: Godliness makes a nation great
We can draw on America's founding prayers, covenants, documents, and early experiences as "prayer architecture" for today. Adapt the prayer language below to your Prayer Voice as the Holy Spirit guides.
⭐️ Father, you are the True Righteous One. Righteousness comes from you via Christ. We receive your righteousness on earth as it is in heaven. Let it come to the American Church.
⭐️ We pray for a true spiritual renewal in America. We ask for your righteousness in our land in and through the American Church.
⭐️ Elevate Americans above mere politics to understand that Godliness makes a nation truly great. May this be our politics.
Father, we believe in our heart that we have received, and we count it done in faith. We are grateful. Amen—may it be established.
Current prayer focus
🦅 Steadfastly pray that God will sway the judgment of the American body politic and that his design will be realized on American soil as it is in heaven.
