Repentence

Father, it's me. I need to talk to You. Please her my Prayer tonight. Father As I read in Your Word, Daniel Chapter 9, I see an image of Your church here in America.
O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day... O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.*
Father, we have sinned against You. We have allowed the murder of millions of babies to be legaly sanctioned by our government while we, as Your Church, have done very little, by and large, to put a stop to this. I tremble as I remember Your Words- But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. **
We have destroyed the holy covenant of marriage, which You created before man ever sinned. You Created marriage to be between one mand and one women for life, and we have changed it to fit our own sinful lusts.
We have not been bold in taking the Good news of Jesus Christ to our world that is dying and on its way to hell-instead, we have allowed the world to infect us with unbiblical doctrine that is contrary to Your Word.
We are guilty of greed. We are not even giving You half of the bare minimum of what You ask of us. Statistics show that we, as a Church, give, on average, 3.8% of our income to You***-Your Word says 10% is what You require.****
We are guilty of placing politics ahead of Your body. We are guilty of judging our brothers and sisters in Christ because of the way they vote. We have often failed to recognize that our salvation does NOT come from a political party-It comes from placing our faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross. We have made our Political parties our idols, placing our faith in them, rather than Trusting You to do Your Work.
We are guilty of of not stepping out of our comfort zones and ministering to those who dont look like. You see that 11:00 am Sunday morning is STILL the most segregated hour in American life and it breaks Your heart.
Gracious, Holy, Righteous Father We need You to do a miracle in Your People. Cause us to fall on our faces and repent as a People for these sins and So many More. Please Forgive Us as a people in Your great mercy. I know we deserve Your Judgement and wrath, but please, in the midst of Your righteous Anger, remember mercy***** and remember that we are but dust.******
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the {Church} which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy {Chruch} and thy people are called by thy name. *******
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
