The past several weeks, we've been examining a prayer that King Solomon prayed for the dedication of the Temple he had built for God. The prayers he prayed over the nation of Israel are also prayers we can pray over our country. This week, we wrapped up our series by looking at the conclusion to his prayer. It directly addresses what happens when we have an identity crisis, when we forget who we are.
Past several weeks, we have been examining prayers we can pray to begin the work of effecting change. As we pray, our hearts will be changed, and we'll be moved to do things that will also bring change. This week we looked at what the fourth prayer tells us - that God still wants to be known by everyone. In order for that to happen, we are must be the display window of who God is and what He is doing.

This week we kicked off a series called Prayers for a Nation. As the people of God, who believe God has put us here on the earth at this time in history and has empowered us with His Spirit, what is our role, our responsibility, in all of this? For those who are American citizens, who have the privilege of voting, we should exercise that right. But what else? Is there more that God has put in our hands to do?
