Heavenly Father,
I lift this nation before you. I ask you to send your gentle winds to blow the veils according to the vision you gave me for this nation. Let all veils of darkness become light and let them dance in your winds. Let the dance of true worship flow from this people. Cause beautiful expressions of adoring hearts to flourish here. Let art and culture be loosed from fear within and without to bless your heart and that even angels would be astonished at the glorious beauty you have purposed to express from this region. In the name of your beloved Son I pray, Amen
I am currently Amazed
I am listening to veils in the winds
