Prayer Improvisation: Angles or Angels?

People say there are only two types of nation: those that boast ‘Great disasters will never happen here”; and those that lament, “we thought they could never happen here”. There are also those who are unaware that serious wrongs are happening here. In our very midst, peerlessly severe threats and allegations are pinioning God’s chosen souls beneath deadly laser beams: sharper than any arrow and yet so narrow that those standing nearby might not even sight their hellish flight. This is the enemy’s bid to cause the most intense upset, and to forbid the proclamation of the good news that alone is God’s reference grid for saving people’s souls. His great marshalling yard, the Lord monitors the state of His rolling stock. Will He have to shrink His network and place in jeopardy so many people’s life and work: – or will He find flag-day representatives to set as buffers against the decay and take Kingdom matters to a higher stage? Railroad Engineer and Ultimate Overseer, we acknowledge the sins and the vanity that underlie so much that is done, even in Your name. Command processor overhead, let still more profound awakening arise in the hearts of souls for whom Jesus bled and died. Buried somewhere in our spiritual mythology, is the thought that England’s genealogy roots back not to Angles but to angels. Lord, remember the best of our heritage, and send once more Your supernatural host to deliver us from so much bondage. Right now we pray for people and nations in need of change. Before they fall into the gloom of the ‘what might have beens' touch them with the sheen of Your Spirit’s power.
