jesus-prayingLet us forever stand firm in the foundation of our faith.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. (Psalm 61:1-4)

Dear Lord, god of all.  Almighty God!  We adore you Lord.  Father we praise You.  You are the Lord of Lords.  You are the great “I AM”.

Father we have forgotten You. We have been distracted with worldly idols.  We have been puffed with pride and going on without You, Lord.  Father, please forgive us.  Forgive us for our sin, O’God.  Restore our nation and heal or land.

Dear God, we thank You for blessing us even at times when we deserved punishment.  Thank You for blessing our people and our nation.  Your grace is amazing, O’God.  Father, restore us to our roots and protect our constitution.

O’God, help us to remember why we are a nation.  Help us to relate to why our forefathers risked everything to come to this land. They called it, “The land of the free”.  Lord, help us to remember the blood that was shed.  Your blood was shed to free us from sin and so much blood was shed on our land to make us free from tyranny.  Protect us, O’God from the evil that would take our freedom away.

Dear Lord, please protect our people and our nation during this election. Guide us as we elect a President in 18 days.  Protect and direct the many local elections throughout the United States.  We need You O’God. We call upon Your power, Your strength and Your glory.

Father, we recognize there are those who would speak evil against You when hardship comes knocking at their door. Strengthen us, O’God!  Lord, help us to stand firm in the foundation of our faith. Help our people and our nation to live in the center of Your will.  We come to You for our strength and endurance.  Help us, O God, to be the people You wish us to be, for we trust in You.  In God we trust.

We thank you Lord for the shelter of Your wings and ask these things through Jesus Christ, AMEN.
