Bible Verse for January 9th.

"Then if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and
seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive
their sins and restore their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
New Living Translation Bible

This is among one of the most quoted verses in the Bible and it's a call to prayer and
seeking the face of Almighty God. We are living in a time when so much is changing and
things that we know are wrong now seem to be accepted as normal. There is now a 'grey'
area in terms of right and wrong, and as children of God, we can easily get caught up in
lifestyles that we know are displeasing to God. The time is now for us to pray and seek
God and repent of our wrong doings. He has promised that He will listen to us, forgive
our sins and heal us. As we seek God, we need to read His Word and let its truth
penetrate our minds and spirits. His Word is our compass and guide for righteous living.
There are many things that we may want to see changed and restored around us. It may
be a broken relationship, a prodigal child, an addiction, lustful thoughts and desires or
physical sickness. Whatever it is, as we come humbly before God and seek His face,
confessing our wrongdoings to Him, we have His promise that He will hear and answer
us.
Thank You Lord for loving me. Today, I rededicate my life to You, Lord Jesus. I bring
all my struggles to You and I know that with Your strength I will be an overcomer. I pray
for healing for my country, my friends, my family and myself. My desire is to live a life
that's pleasing to You. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
