Daniel
9:16
O Lord, according
to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away
from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all
those around us.

Indonesia is a
developing country. Its population and the islands are hailed by many
countries. Indonesia consists of thousands of islands and incredible natural
resources. However, that does not mean the citizens of Indonesia do not have a
problem. As long as you are still in the world you will always have trouble.
Currently, Indonesia
has so many problems—starting from the custody of the island from foreign
countries, rising food prices, and poverty. As a citizen of Indonesia, what can
you do? Are you going to fight against the people who really get into the sea
of Indonesia? Or will you be indifferent to the problems occurring in
Indonesia?
You may think that
you cannot do anything. Surely you can do something for this nation. God wants
you to use your 15 minutes to pray for Indonesia. Fifteen minutes is the most minimum
estimated time for praying for Indonesia. When you give a longer time, it would
be better. Indonesia itself consists of 34 provinces.
Of the 34
provinces, you can pray for every government in every province so that they
will fear the Lord. For the current national issues, you can pray for the
rising price of rice. Through your prayer, may God make a way for better
Indonesia. Remember that prayer is the Christians’ breath of life.
Indonesia
desperately needs you. Can you imagine when everyone praying for 15 minutes a
day; won’t God’s heart be touched? Many times we are reluctant to give our time
to sit under God’s feet. There’s nothing we can do for this nation, but praying.
Praying shows that Indonesia desperately needs Jesus.
Then what would you
do after praying to Jesus for Indonesia?
Now
this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according
to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (1 John 5:14-15)
Therefore, God
wants us to believe that He has given anything we pray for. That is faith.
Believe that nothing is impossible to God and no works will be in vain.
Prayer is what you say every day.
