TURN TO ME

Whenever God wanted to change the tide of a nation, city or country he called a sacred assembly, I time of fasting and prayer. If there has ever been a time to pray for this nation and the world, now is that time! Joel 2: 12-17

“Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
 
 “Turn to Me with all your heart,
 
 With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”

So rend your heart, and not your garments;
 
 Return to the Lord your God,
 
 For He is gracious and merciful,
 
 Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
 
 And He relents from doing harm

Who knows if He will turn and relent,
 
 And leave a blessing behind Him—
 
 A grain offering and a drink offering
 
 For the Lord your God?

Blow the trumpet in Zion,
 
 Consecrate a fast,
 
 Call a sacred assembly;

Gather the people,
 
 Sanctify the congregation,
 
 Assemble the elders,
 
 Gather the children and nursing babes;
 
 Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
 
 And the bride from her dressing room.

Let the priests, who minister to the Lord,
 
 Weep between the porch and the altar;
 
 Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord,
 
 And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
 
 That the nations should rule over them.
 
 Why should they say among the peoples,
 
 ‘Where is their God?’”
