Deut. 28:58-60 (NIV) “If you refuse to obey all the words of instruction that are written in this book, and if you do not fear the glorious and awesome name of the LORD your God, then the LORD will overwhelm you and your children with indescribable plagues. These plagues will be intense and without relief, making you miserable and unbearably sick.”

1. Pray that the Lord will help us to see that when we break the covenant relationship with Him through sin and refuse to repent that He sometimes chooses to use disasters to discipline us.
2. Ask God for His mercy and forgiveness for any such sin He allows you to see in light of this truth.
3. Am I quick to recognize and agree with God in confession when I have sinned and am I quick to admit to others when I am wrong?

Hebrews 12:5b-7 (NIV) “’My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.’ Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?”

1. Ask God to deeply impress on us that He rebukes, disciplines, corrects, and punishes the children that He loves.
2. Pray for Him to show you any signs of His discipline in your life, your church, or nation.
3. Pray for Him to help our leaders to identify sin and call us to repentance.
