5 days left to pray for the election.

praise2Day 35, November 1, 2012

Your light shines over all who choose to call You Lord.

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. (Psalm 34: 1-3)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)

Dear heavenly Father, You are the Creator of the universe and we praise Your blessed and holy name! You alone are the provider of all things and with You all things are possible.  Lord, if we say nothing, the rocks will cry out Your magnificent name.  You are a marvelous God, and Your light shines over all who choose to call You Lord.

Forgive our transgressions, Lord. Forgive us for seeking to serve the created rather than the Creator as Your word says in Romans 1:25.  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.

In Genesis 18, we recall Abraham pleaded for fifty righteous souls to be found and then finally for only ten righteous souls among the people to avert total destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

We shudder and plead for the protection of our land from complete ruin because of unrighteous living. Forgive our transgressions, Oh God. Flood our minds and souls with conviction that if we do only one wrong against You, Lord God, we break our relationship with You. Draw us to be washed in the Blood of Jesus as we humble ourselves and pray, seeking Your Face, and turning from our evil ways of all wrong in our lives that You might 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.

We call upon You on behalf of our Nation, the United States of America.  We ask You to have mercy and grace upon her 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. We call upon You, Lord, for Your grace and protection on this election November 6, just 5 days from now.  Help us Oh God and heal our land.

It is in the name of Jesus Christ we entrust our Nation, the United States of America, into Your care.  AMEN.

Day 21 praying for election, 19 to go.

praying10In the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. (Psalm 63:3-4, 7)

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Heavenly Father we give You praise, glory and honor today as we acknowledge You, Creator of this universe, the only living God, and Your Son Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world. We praise You for Your grace, mercy, and lovingkindness.

Father we come to You in repentance for the condition of our nation because we have turned away from You. We repent of the six things that You hate according to Proverbs 6:16-19, as we are guilty of all. A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness, and the one that is an abomination to You: he who sows discord among the brethren. Father we ask for Your forgiveness as we forgive each other.

Lord, we thank you for our blessings. May we as a nation look to You with thanksgiving in our hearts for the blessings You have poured upon us. Let us forever rest in the shadow of Your wings and shout for joy with praise, for You are a most gracious God.  Father, You bless us even beyond our understanding.

Dear Lord, our eyes are open to the decline of America and we want to put this nation back on track with You but we cannot do it without Your help. We want Your Name to be glorified again across this land. We need Your help to elect a new administration in 19 days that will acknowledge and honor You and Israel. Father, without You we can do nothing. We pray for wisdom, strength and courage.

Father, renew our strength, give us new hope and make us “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
