Prayer3Pray for the United States of America

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:7-8)

Dear Lord we lift your holy name on high.  Lord it is you alone that possess life within.  You alone are the true source of everlasting, abundant life.  We praise you, dear God.

Father we confess to you our lack of fruit-bearing.  We as a nation and as a people have been self –absorbed and distracted with selfish activities that bring only temporal value.  Forgive us Lord.

We thank you Father for your love and your life and we pray today that we may glorify you Lord.  You are the true vine. Live through us that we might bear fruit.  Father, even though we are over 2,000 years removed from the night you uttered those words, we know your work still marches forth.  We know, Lord, You are still working to accomplish Your work and Your will in the world today.  Work through us, Lord.

Help our nation to turn our hearts back to You and Your Word so the United States will bear the fruit of your righteousness and be set above all other nations.  Dear Lord, may the fruit we produce be honoring to you and may we bear fruit in abundance for and by you.  Father we draw our strength from You.  Strengthen us today, Lord.  Strengthen us with the power of Your Holy Spirit.  Help us Father, as we strive to abide in You and continue in faith that You will do more for us than ever imagined.

God bless the United States of America.

We ask all these things through Jesus Christ.

Amen
