77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Walking in Obedience – Living in Alignment with God’s Word | Day 63
Weeks 4-8: Divine Guidance and Governance (Inspired by Joshua)
Focus: Courage in Leadership and Unwavering Faith
Scripture:
"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." – Joshua 1:8
"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." – Luke 11:28
Reflection:
As we progress through Day 63 of our “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening” campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance from November 5 until January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day, Joshua’s leadership began with a clear instruction from God: to meditate on His Word and live in obedience to His commands. This practice became the foundation for Joshua’s success as a leader and Israel’s victories. Living in alignment with God’s Word requires daily commitment and trust in His guidance. When we obey His instructions, we invite His blessings and His presence into every area of our lives.
Today, let us pray for our leaders to walk in obedience to God’s Word as they govern the nation. May President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their team meditate on God’s truth and lead with wisdom and integrity. Let us also reflect on our own lives, asking for strength to live in alignment with His Word and trust Him to direct our paths.
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for the gift of Your Word, which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Today, we pray for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all leaders, asking that they walk in obedience to Your Word. May they meditate on Your truth and seek to align their decisions with Your will.
Father, help us to live in alignment with Your Word in our daily lives. Teach us to trust and obey You, knowing that Your ways are always good. Strengthen our hearts to follow Your instructions and to walk in faith and obedience.
In the Mighty name of Jesus, I invoke the standing order of Almighty God to protect my family and our beloved country, America, from every attack, to propel us above every circumstance and crisis, and to prevent any weapon formed against us from prospering, so that we will not fall or fail but will be overcomers, more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. I command angels to surround us, to uphold and guard us in all our ways. Amen.
Wisdom for Awakening:
Obedience to God’s Word brings clarity, peace, and blessing. Today, focus on meditating on His truth and living in alignment with His guidance.
Action for Awakening:
Choose a specific verse from God’s Word to meditate on throughout the day. Write it down, reflect on its meaning, and ask God to help you live it out in your decisions and actions.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with a heart that seeks His Word and walks in His ways. May He guide our leaders to live in alignment with His truth and make decisions rooted in wisdom and righteousness. May we all experience the blessings of obedience and the joy of walking in His presence.
In His Service
