But with all their
problems Mexico is still a wonderful, beautiful country, with a rich and
glorious history, filled with hospitable, hardworking and creative people. God
has blessed Mexico with a deep spiritual passion as well. Her people have a rich
faith in God. Few people on earth can worship with as much abandonment, can
pray with as much faith, and can serve with as much graciousness as our
brothers and sisters in Mexico. Today, we lift our voices in prayer that God’s
destiny for Mexico and Mexicans would be realized.
“God, today is Cinco de Mayo and we join with
Mexico and Mexican’s around the world, thanking you for this nation and her
people and asking for your blessing on them. You have made Mexico a rich and
healing, where healing is necessarily.
May your power purge Mexico from corruption
and an abuse of power. May you do battle against the drug cartels and may this
blight of violence be shattered by your own hand. We pray for a growing balance
of provision in Mexico. May those who have much learn to open their hearts and
hands to those who have little.
May those who suffer in poverty have the
faith and courage and wisdom to rise up and take hold of the opportunities
available to them to rise above their lot. God, we bless the spiritual life of
Mexico. Bring revival to their love and knowledge of you. Bring your Kingdom,
Jesus, into the life and heart of Mexico. As they remember this day as a sign
of your provision and protection, may they also look to you as their only true
hero and the author and protector of their destiny. God, we bless Mexico today.
Let your Kingdom come… In Jesus we pray.”
