Day 28 to pray for the election, 12 to go.

prayer2True wisdom is a gift from God

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. (Psalm 37:30-31)

Dear Lord we come into Your presence with humble hearts.  We praise You Oh, God.  Father we adore Your name.  You are the Mighty King.  You are the master of everything.  Father we love and adore You.

Father, we pray for forgiveness for our sins.  Please forgive us Lord, we have forgotten where our blessings and our strength came from. Lord, Your people have left You out.  Our nation has left You out. We have been busy with our own agenda and have gone astray.

We thank You, Lord.  We thank you for all You have given us. We have so much!  You have blessed our nation beyond reason.  We thank You for all Your grace Oh God.  We thank You for our freedom and for our forefathers that fought hard to obtain it.

We ask, Lord, for protection of the freedoms we have.  We pray that You will direct our people and our nation to a leader that will follow Your commandments.  We pray for our nation dear Lord.  Please help us and protect us.  Intercede Oh God on the election in 12 days and grant us the victory in Your name.  Please protect and deliver us from evil.

Dear Lord, True wisdom is a gift that only You can provide.  Help us to be in the right standing with You, Father.  May the words we speak give honor to You, and may we never speak Your name in vain. Help us Oh God, to stay steadfast and live in such a way that Your light will shine through us.  We have only 12 days to the decision, dear Lord.  Please put Your hedge of protection around us each day and most directly on November 6. We thank You once again, Father, for Your mercy and love and we make these prayers and supplications through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Day 13 of prayer, 27 days to election

praying-handsAnd He shall hear my voice.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (Psalm 55:17)

Father, we praise you this day. We exalt our praises and our adoration toward you Lord.  You are the graceful and merciful God Almighty.  You are the Creator of all and you are our Creator.  We give you our devotion, Lord and we give you our prayers.  We listen attentively Lord for your answers.

Lord, please forgive us for not always listening and forgive us for not giving you our consistent devotion.  Father, we are sorry that we as a nation have forgotten you.  We thank you Lord for not forgetting us.  Your love is amazing.  Your love is great.  Thank you for Your blessings on each of us and thank you for blessing our nation.  Please restore us O’ God and fill us with your spirit.  Help us in our time of need.

Dear God please direct each of our leaders as they govern our nation.  Please protect us and guide the outcome of this presidential election in November.  You are the only one to protect us, Father.  We pray for your divine intervention.

We pray this day for each of our government leaders both local and national.  We pray this day for our people.  We pray that minds would be attentive to the things of importance for our land and for the good of all mankind.  We pray for minds that would protect our heritage and our constitution.  Lord, give our nation the ability to see the splendor of Your holiness. Heal our land, O’God!  Give us all ears that will hear the majesty of Your voice.  Lead us all, and lead our nation to holy and righteous living.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

40 Days of Prayer, #1, September 28

Prayer40 DAYS TO A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION

Day 1 of 40 days of prayer for our country.

In a daily devotional from this morning my pastor gave this interesting fact:  John Jay, PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS; DIPLOMAT; AUTHOR OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS; ORIGINAL CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE U. S. SUPREME COURT; GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” 

I pray we can get back this providence and take hold of our duty as a Christian nation.

It is our duty to pray for those who hold elected office in our country.  In fact, Scripture commands us to do so. 

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty”, (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

Dear heavenly Father,

We praise you and acknowledge you as the creator of our universe.  We acknowledge the blessings you have bestowed on this land we call the United States of America.  We confess our sins Lord and ask forgiveness for forgetting you during these times of need.  Please forgive us and our nation for failing you.  We thank you Father for allowing us to be born in the land of the free.  We thank you for all the riches and grace you have provided throughout history.  We come to you respectfully and humbly to give thanks for the blessing we receive daily.  Lord, please protect our land and keep us free.  Dear Lord, please heal our land.  Draw us back to you Lord and allow your strength to restore our nation to a place where we serve and honor You.  Father we thank you for the great leaders of the past and ask that you give us a leader on November 6 that will follow the calling You have given us.   We thank you once again for all our blessings.  In God we Trust.   Through your son Jesus Christ we pray,

AMEN

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”, (2 Chronicles 7:14).

God bless the USA,
