Hear us From Heaven

Lord, hear our cry.
Come heal our land.
Breath life into these dry and thirsty souls.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Forgive our sin.
And as we call on Your name,
Would You make this a place,
For Your glory to dwell

Open the blind eyes.
Unlock the deaf ears.
Come to Your people,
As we draw near.
Hear us from heaven.
Touch our generation.
We are Your people,
Crying out in desperation

Hear Us From Heaven...

This song was written by Jared Anderson in 2004 and perfectly illustrates the heartbeat of prayer. The Bible also gives us this excellent example of humble intercession:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
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.

We are His people, and we are called by His name. We must humble ourselves and pray. Our world doesn't need another agenda, they need a praying church who seeks the face of God, having turned from their wicked ways. Note that when we do this, God will hear us and forgive our sin, and heal our land!

Who will join me today as a prayer warrior?

Who humble themselves and pray?

Who will seek His face and turn from their wicked ways?

God is counting on you. Your neighbor depends on you. Satan hopes you will remain complacent and comfortable. Let's unite together in these last days as prayer warriors and pray, "Hear us from heaven, touch our generation..."
