Selah

ብዙውን ጊዜ እግዚአብሔርን እንደ ግል አዳኛችን እናስባለን፤ እርሱን ወደ ሕይወታችን፣ ወደ ሀዘናችን፣ ወደ ደስታችን እና ወደ ሕመማችን በቅርብ እንጋብዘዋለን። እኛ በእሱ ሉዓላዊነት እንታመናለን፤ እናም እሱ እንደሚያድን እናምናለን። እግዚአብሔር ለእኛ ያለውን መውደድ ያህል ለሕዝቡ፣ ለሀገሪቱ ቅርብና ተቆርቋሪ መሆኑን እንዲያሳስብን ዛሬ እጸልያለሁ። ዛሬ ሁላችንም ለሀገራችን ወደ እግዚአብሔር እንድንጣራ፤ ሕዝቡን እንዲያድን፣ ቁስላችንንም እንዲፈውስልን እንድንለምነው ልጋብዛችሁ። ለሀገራችን እንጸልይ።

We often think of God as our personal Savior; we invite him very closely into our lives, into our sorrows, into our joy, and into our pain. We trust in his sovereignty, and we believe he will save. I pray today that God reminds us that he is just as close and as caring to our nation as he is to us. I pray today we all devote ourselves to the same belief but for our nation, to call to God to save the nation, to save his people, and to heal our wounds.
