They will listen

Therefore, let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen. (Acts 28:28)

Father, sometimes this nation seems like the Jews. People seeing without perceiving, hearing without understanding, closing their eyes to your truth, having ears hard of hearing, and hearts hardened towards you.

But you have sent your salvation to this land.

“They will listen,” you said.

And so I pray for this nation.

Open their eyes, open their ears, soften their hearts.

Use me to touch my family, my coworkers, my friends, everyone around me and bring them to you. Let them turn to you so that you may heal them.

I will not lose hope. Instead, I cling to your promise: “They will listen.”

In Jesus’ name, amen.
