You have given us a guide for life and asked us to meditate day and night.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Joshua 1:8-9)
Dear precious Lord, we worship You as Creator of all things that have been made. Father, we acknowledge You as True King and Ruler, the one who has given us dominion over this land. We praise You and love You Lord.
We call upon You, Father on behalf of our nation, the United States of America. We need You dear Lord. We ask You to have mercy and grace upon our people. We humbly seek that You do not turn Your face away although so many have turned from their roots of our forefather’s founding our nation upon Your principles.
Forgive our transgressions, Oh God. Forgive us for seeking to serve the created rather than the Creator. Send a river of conviction throughout our Country and convince each and every heart to seek to be washed in Your forgiving love and return to You in pure and holy worship.
We plead, Oh God, for the protection of our Land from complete ruin because of unrighteous living. From the rampant adultery of the married, the pre-marital actions of singles, the ridding of lives before they are born, the greed and puffed-up pride of our hearts, the making Your houses of worship into dens of thieves by converting them to social clubs instead of deep dedication of communion with You.
Father, You have given us a guide for life and have asked us to meditate in Your Word day and night. Place that desire within our hearts, Lord and give us a hunger for Your Word so that we may know You. Lead our nation and our people back to Your Word so that we may honor You through all that we say and do.
We pray now for our Nation’s president, our vice-president, our governor, and all our national, state, and local government officials. We pray for each of them that, whether or not they serve You in spirit and righteousness, Your Spirit will guide them into all truth. We pray for our election in eight days, Lord. We pray for Your Spirit to intercede and protect our land. Help us, Oh God. Heal our land!
Thank You, Oh Holy God, for tending to our voices in one accord today as we intercede on behalf of our Nation. Thank You for restoring us to being “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Thank You that we will once again be able to call upon You and say, “God Bless America” because we are assured You will do so because America is truly Blessing Your Holy Name. It is in the name of Jesus Christ we entrust our nation, the United States of America, into Your care. AMEN.
