Give Ear to Our Words O’LORD.
Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. (Psalm 5:1-3)
Father we adore you. “You are holy, Lord, the only God, and Your deeds are wonderful. You are strong. You are great. You are the Most High. You are Almighty. You, Holy Father are King of heaven and earth. You are Three and One, Lord God, all Good. You are Good, all Good, supreme Good, Lord God, living and true. You are love. You are wisdom. You are humility. You are endurance. You are rest. You are peace. You are joy and gladness. You are justice and moderation. You are all our riches, and You suffice for us. You are beauty. You are gentleness. You are our protector. You are our guardian and defender. You are our courage. You are our haven and our hope. You are our faith, our great consolation. You are our eternal life, Great and Wonderful Lord, God Almighty and Merciful Savior.”[1]
We give thanks this day O’God for your love and for the many, many blessings you have given our land and our people. Our greatness has come from Your grace, Lord. We beg You, O’Lord, to hear our supplications. Hear our prayers dear Lord! Let us come to you each day with our hearts full of joy, for You are our Most High God and everything we have comes from you.
Dear God, forgive our nation and our people for the destruction of millions of babies through abortion. Forgive us for the sexual immorality that is common in entertainment and so many relationships. For the tolerance and promotion of sexual perversion. Please forgive us Father for the dependency on material things and failure to trust God for physical, economic, and national security. We pray you forgive us for the disregard of God’s standards for marriage and family living. We come humbly and in repentance to Lord.
Father in heaven we pray for Our President. We pray that the heart of our President will be open and sensitive to the Lord. We ask you, O’God to give him wisdom for the decisions he must make. We ask O’God for you to protect him from physical harm and spiritual attack. We ask you, Lord to protect his family from all harm. For the election in 22 days, Father, we ask for your divine intervention that the winner of the election would be hand-picked by You. We ask for your protection of our nation and we ask for a great leader.
We pray for our Nation, O’God. We pray for the Holy Spirit to convict the people of our nation of sin. We ask Him to soften all our hearts and make them open to You, Lord. We pray that You will release those taken captive by Satan and give sight to those who have been spiritually blinded. We ask for a harvest of souls. We ask for You to bring revival to the hearts and lives of the saved. We ask You, Father, to protect us from physical attack. Please, O’God, give a spirit of patience and calm throughout the land.
We pray for our churches dear Lord. We ask You Lord, to move Your churches to boldly proclaim the gospel to the unsaved. To help us trust Him and His sovereign control over the world. To fill us with compassion for those who are suffering because of recent events. To strengthen the hearts of God’s people, giving courage and persistence. To help Your children experience You peace that passes all understanding, that it would guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We pray that the churches will be characterized by deep repentance and a return to the Lord. We pray that church leaders may be courageous, wise, and faithful in their proclamation and counsel.
Bless us, Father, that we might bless others. Let us always look to You for every provision. Let us each be an open vessel filled with Your wisdom, that others might know Your saving grace. Father we have come to You in obedience and humility to seek your face. We have asked for much this morning believing You will hear, provide and heal our land. We ask all through Jesus Christ, AMEN.
