Proverbs 2: The Value of Wisdom (NKJV)
1 My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.

77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Remembering God’s Faithfulness – Reflecting on His Goodness and Grace | Day 66
Weeks 4-8: Divine Guidance and Governance (Inspired by Joshua)
Focus: Courage in Leadership and Unwavering Faith
Scripture:
"You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you." – Joshua 23:3
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." – Psalm 107:1
Reflection:
As we progress through Day 66 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, in his farewell address, Joshua reminded the Israelites of all that God had done for them, encouraging them to reflect on His faithfulness. Remembering God’s past victories strengthens our faith and reminds us that He is always with us. Gratitude for His goodness keeps our hearts aligned with His purpose and gives us hope for the future.
Today, let us pray for our leaders to reflect on God’s faithfulness and trust Him to guide the nation forward. May President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their team draw strength from God’s past blessings and lean on His promises for the future. Let us also take time to reflect on our own lives, giving thanks for the ways God has been faithful to us and trusting Him for the days ahead.
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and the many blessings You have poured out on us. Today, we pray for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all leaders, asking that they reflect on Your goodness and trust in Your continued guidance. May they lead with gratitude and confidence in Your promises.
Father, help us to remember Your faithfulness in our own lives. Teach us to give thanks for Your blessings and to trust in Your love and grace. Strengthen our hearts to walk in faith, knowing that You are always with us and that Your plans for us are good.
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:
Reflecting on God’s past faithfulness strengthens our trust in His promises for the future. Today, take time to remember His goodness and give thanks for His blessings.
Action for Awakening:
Write down three specific ways God has been faithful in your life. Share one of these testimonies with someone to encourage their faith and give glory to God.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with a heart full of gratitude for His faithfulness. May He guide our leaders to trust in His goodness and lead with hope and confidence. May we all walk in faith, remembering His promises and His steadfast love.
