praying-hands-bibleHelp our nation with its unbelief!

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:24-25)

Dear Lord You are supreme and we adore You. Oh God!  You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of all things.  You are the truth and You are good, You are lovely and sweet. You cannot be matched. You bring life to our very bones and joy to our hearts that is unspeakable. You tell us things that give us hope, life, confidence and assurance in your love and care. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the last. You are the great creator. There would be no life without You. We delight to rest in you. You are magnificent.

Lord, we confess our sins and understand there is no one without sin, not one.  We ask your forgiveness, Father.  We ask forgiveness for our nation, for we have forgotten You.  Forgive us when we find fault in our brothers. Help us to look beyond any shortcomings and look deeper within ourselves to become better people. Help us to be more like You, Oh God.

Thank You Father for blessing our nation as You have.  Thank You for Your forgiveness, dear Lord.  Thank You for Your protection and Your grace. Thank You for the blessing of knowing that we are forgiven.

Dear Lord, please help our nation with its unbelief. Lead us into a renewed relationship with You. Forgive us when we fall short of doing all that You have called us to do.  Forgive us when we fail to demonstrate love and forgiveness toward those who wrong us.

Father it is Sunday, Your day! Thank You for this day.  Thank You for allowing us to be born in a land where we can freely go to the church of our choice and worship.  Please protect us and help us to stay free.  Help all to not take our freedom for granted.  Father, we have been at war with those who wish to destroy our land and jeopardize our religious freedom.  Give us Your strength, Oh God.  Help our people to remember the power of prayer.  Lord, we have a national election in 16 days, please help us. Father, we seek Your sovereign blessing on our nation.  We ask for Your protection and Your divine intervention on this election for our President.  Give us the leader that will follow Biblical principles Lord.  We pray these prayers and claim Your promises in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

Day 14 of prayer for election, 26 to go.

SaintsThank you, Lord for your love for all the saints.

“We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints”, Colossians 1:3-4.

Dear Lord, We come to you with humility and prayer to the Father.  All praise belongs to you, O’God and you are the Lord of all worlds and all creation.  Father, you are the Compassionate, the Merciful and the ruler of Judgment Day.  Dear God, It is You that we worship and to You we appeal for help.  Show us the straightway, O’ God.

Father we confess our sins and ask forgiveness.  Almighty and merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed our hearts and our desires too much instead of following your heart, O’ God.  We have left undone those things we should have done; and we have done those things which we should not have done; and there is nothing good in us. Forgive us Lord.

We thank you Lord for all you have given us.  You have blessed us mightily, Father.  Praise God, Praise God, Praise God Almighty.

We humbly come to You and ask for your Spirit to reach out and touch all who are hurting and all who are spiritually lost in the world.  Lord, restore their hearts and restore our hearts.  Give us the hope that is everlasting and comfort us all with Your loving outstretched arms.  Lord, we pray that we would be sensitive to the needs of all our neighbors.  We pray we would be attentive to physical and spiritual needs and willing to share Your love for them, just as you have bestowed your love upon is.

O Lord, have mercy upon us offenders of Your Word. Spare us, O God, when we confess our faults. Restore those who repent, Lord; according to Your promises declared unto men through Jesus Christ our Lord.  We pray for our nation, O’God; that we would turn from our wicked ways and return to You.  We ask for your protection and our guidance over the coming election.  We pray, dear Lord, through Jesus Christ, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life; to the glory of His name. Amen
