Have you ever been given an impossible request? In ancient times, the King of Syria sent a letter to the King of Israel asking him to heal his greatest warrior Naaman of leprosy. It was an outlandish appeal – but Naaman’s wife had heard their Hebrew slave proclaiming that the God of Israel could do miracles. Surprisingly when Israel’s king received the request, he didn’t call upon God seeking guidance or wisdom; instead, he put on a dramatic show, tearing his clothes and bemoaning his hopelessness.

And when the king of Israel read the letter, he…said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive?”

II Kings 5:7

Likewise, some today have given up on America ever again standing for faith and justice at the highest levels. And like Israel’s’ unwise king, they are also looking only to their own abilities. When Israel’s prophet Elisha heard of Naaman’s request, he knew where take the issue. Asking God for help, he received it…and ultimately both nations witnessed the true and powerful God do a miraculous healing.

Do not stop praying for America…and be careful to look only to God’s strength for hope. Request new life and faith to reside in the lives of those in America’s highest political offices – and let God do the rest.
