Day 26 praying for election, 14 to go.

Neeling prayerWe need Your wisdom and help in all areas.

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise. (Psalm 55:1-2)

Lord, You are the Most High. You are all-powerful, all-good Lord.  All our praise is Yours dear Lord and all glory, all honor and all blessings. Father, we are not worthy to pronounce Your Name.  You are the great I AM.  We worship You Oh God our King.

Father, please forgive our nation for being in moral and spiritual decline.  We confess Lord that we have forgotten You and forgotten our roots. We confess that while the majority of Americans say they are Christians, we have denied the power of God and godliness.  We as a nation have gone astray in our thinking and our actions.  We have lost our way.  Forgive us oh God; Your church in the United States has sinned against You.  We have let You down, Father. The church has not done the things You commanded and has spent much time on things you other than Your commands.

Lord, we thank you for our democratic form of government in our country and for the freedom to worship You. We thank You for the freedom we enjoy and beg You to extend its blessings to our future generations. We thank You for allowing us to be the economic leader of the world and for all our prosperity.  We are unable to give adequate thanks to You for all Your grace.

Father, we often have burdens that are almost too heavy to bear.  We need Your wisdom oh God when our nation faces hardships and pain.  We need Your help in all areas, Father. Please strengthen us a people and lead us in the way that will bring glory and honor to You.  Father, you have promised that if we humble ourselves and seek Your face and pray, You will heal our land.  May we forever be humble in Your sight, and may we experience Your blessings in the midst of our great need.  Lord, please bless us as we elect a President.  Help us to choose.  Direct our thoughts and actions toward the leader of Your choice.  We know dear Lord, You are in control.  We pray for Your protection on our land and for healing.  We come into Your presence with a humble heart asking for help.   Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen

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.
