November 2, 2012

Teach us the way that we should go and help us to walk in Your truth each day.

A Prayer by Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first act of a President after receiving the Oath of Office:

Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment my future associates in the executive branch of government join me in beseeching that Thou will make full and complete our dedication to the service of the people in this throng, and follow their fellow citizens everywhere.

Give us, we pray, the power to discern clearly right from wrong, and allow all our words and actions to be governed thereby, and by the laws of this land. Especially we pray that our concern shall be for all the people regardless of station, race, or calling. May cooperation be permitted and be the mutual aim of those who, under the concepts of our Constitution, hold to differing political faiths; so that all may work for the good of our beloved country and Thy Glory, Amen. January 20, 1953

Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore. (Psalm 86:11-12)

Father, we praise You Lord. We worship You, Oh God. You are our God and You are the Almighty God. You are the great creator of all things and the master of all things. You are the vine, Lord, we are the branches and we praise Your Holy Name.

We confess our sins, Oh God. We confess our personal sins and we confess the sins of our nation and our people. Father please forgive us for we have not born the fruit of the vine. We have not done enough Lord and we have left You out of our lives, our government and our leadership.

We thank You, Oh God for the blessings You have given. We thank You for Your Almighty grace. We thank You for the United States of America.

Lord, please help those suffering as a result of the hurricane along our east coast. Protect them from further harm and grant them Your grace dear Lord. Protect the many volunteers that have responded to help the victims and work to recover the area. Help them to cope with the devastation, Oh Lord.

We pray for our nation and ask that You heal our land. Please protect our nation, the United States of America during our election in 4 days, Father. Protect us from voter fraud and theft of votes. Protect the many countless volunteers that are working to secure all the votes and protect the voters. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to intervene and allow each voter to know and to make the right choice. Lead our nation back toward You Oh God.

We hunger for Your Word. Teach us the way that we should go and help us to walk in Your truth each day. As President Eisenhower prayed, teach us and our leaders Oh God, and grant them and us the power to discern clearly right from wrong and govern our actions accordingly.

May Your praise always be on our lips and may You fill our hearts with the joy of Your love and blessing. You are a gracious and loving God whose mercy is new every morning. We thank You and we love You, Lord, and we ask these prayers through Jesus Christ, Amen.

7 Days left to pray for the election.

Day 33, October 30, 2012

We find rest in the shelter of your love.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. (Psalm 36:7-9)

Dear Lord, we come into Your presence today with humility and submission. Father we adore You and we worship You. Father God, you are so awesome. You fill us with regular amazement at your glorious power, your wonderful, unceasing presence, and your ever-surrounding knowledge of our quietest thoughts. You are Almighty God and we praise You.

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, forgive us for we have gone our own way. Forgive us for not loving you as we ought, nor loving our neighbors as ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word and deed and in what we have failed to do. We deserve your condemnation. Forgive our nation, Almighty God, for leaving our foundation and walking away from You. Oh, Father, forgive us.

Almighty God, dear Father, we humbly thank You for preserving us from the danger of the night past, and for bringing us to the light of this day, and the comforts thereof. Lord, we pray that we will use this day for Your service and for Your honor and we will bring glory to You. Thank You, Father for all Your gifts so freely bestowed upon us. We thank You for our nation, the land of the free. We thank You for the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea. We thank you, Lord. For Your grace and the many blessings we receive. We thank you, Lord. For our daily food and drink, our homes and families, and our friends. We thank you, Lord. For our minds to think, and our hearts to love, and our hands to serve, We thank you Lord. For health and strength to work, and leisure to rest and play, we thank you, Lord. For the brave and courageous, who are patient in suffering and faithful in adversity, we thank you, Lord. For all valiant seekers of truth, liberty, and justice, we thank You, Lord. Above all, Father we give you thanks for the great mercies and promises given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. We praise You Father.

Almighty God, who gave us this great land for our heritage, we humbly ask that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Your favor and glad to do Your will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought here out of many different nationalities and languages. Grant a spirit of wisdom to those to who in Your name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to Your law, we may show forth Your praise among the nations of the earth. In our time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the days of trouble, we trust in You to protect us, Almighty God.

We pray for the President of the United States and for our election in 7 days, and all in civil authority. Oh God, Your glory is in the entire world and we commend this nation to Your care, that, being guided by Your providence, we may live secure in Your peace. Grant, Oh God, to the President of the United States, the Governor of this State (or Commonwealth), and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do Your will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful of their calling to serve our people in Your fear; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lord, Your lovingkindness is new every day. May we forever trust in You with all our hearts and find rest in the shelter of Your love. The very life we live comes from You alone. Bless us, Oh God, with the light of Your presence and place within us the desire to share Your light so that others may come to know the saving grace of our Lord and Savior.

Help us to love you and our neighbors and to live for Your honor and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

8 Days left to pray for the election.

You have given us a guide for life and asked us to meditate day and night.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Joshua 1:8-9)

Dear precious Lord, we worship You as Creator of all things that have been made. Father, we acknowledge You as True King and Ruler, the one who has given us dominion over this land. We praise You and love You Lord.

We call upon You, Father on behalf of our nation, the United States of America. We need You dear Lord. We ask You to have mercy and grace upon our people. We humbly seek that You do not turn Your face away although so many have turned from their roots of our forefather’s founding our nation upon Your principles.

Forgive our transgressions, Oh God. Forgive us for seeking to serve the created rather than the Creator. Send a river of conviction throughout our Country and convince each and every heart to seek to be washed in Your forgiving love and return to You in pure and holy worship.

We plead, Oh God, for the protection of our Land from complete ruin because of unrighteous living. From the rampant adultery of the married, the pre-marital actions of singles, the ridding of lives before they are born, the greed and puffed-up pride of our hearts, the making Your houses of worship into dens of thieves by converting them to social clubs instead of deep dedication of communion with You.

Father, You have given us a guide for life and have asked us to meditate in Your Word day and night. Place that desire within our hearts, Lord and give us a hunger for Your Word so that we may know You. Lead our nation and our people back to Your Word so that we may honor You through all that we say and do.

We pray now for our Nation’s president, our vice-president, our governor, and all our national, state, and local government officials. We pray for each of them that, whether or not they serve You in spirit and righteousness, Your Spirit will guide them into all truth. We pray for our election in eight days, Lord. We pray for Your Spirit to intercede and protect our land. Help us, Oh God. Heal our land!

Thank You, Oh Holy God, for tending to our voices in one accord today as we intercede on behalf of our Nation. Thank You for restoring us to being “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Thank You that we will once again be able to call upon You and say, “God Bless America” because we are assured You will do so because America is truly Blessing Your Holy Name. It is in the name of Jesus Christ we entrust our nation, the United States of America, into Your care. AMEN.

Day 29 praying for election, 11 to go.

Lift us up that we may boldly proclaim Your truth each and every day.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh God! There is no god but You. You are the Almighty! You are the living and the eternal creator of all. Father, all things in the heavens and on earth are Yours. There is no one that can intercede in You presence except as You permit. You, Oh God, know what is before or after or behind us all. Your throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and You are the Most High, the Supreme.

Whoever rejects evil and believes in You, Oh God has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. Lord, You hear and know all things. You, Lord are the protector of those who have faith; from the depth of darkness, You will lead us forth into light. For those who reject faith the patrons are the evil forces that prevail. We praise You; We praise You, Oh God.

Almighty God, please forgive us. Our country has sinned against you, Lord. Instead of focusing on You, Lord we focus on ourselves and a life of greed and pride. We have become a corrupt nation, Lord. No longer is prayer allowed in our schools. No longer is Sunday honored as a day of worship where no work is done. In a nation where we are supposed to have freedom of religion it is coming to the point where Christians are persecuted for following You, for speaking of You and for trying to lead lost souls to You. We have nearly lost all that our forefathers fought and lost lives for. Lord help us. Heal our land dear Lord. We need your help, Lord. We need your healing hand. Forgive this nation, Lord, for the many sins committed each day. Guide this country and our election for President as we seek to turn this country in the right direction. And that direction is towards you, Lord.

Lord we give thanks. Father, we know that our bounty did not come from Washington DC. It came and it comes from You, Oh God alone. Our founding fathers understood that perfectly, Lord. Because of our heritage and faith in You we can still worship at a church, synagogue, or mosque of our choosing every day or once a week or not at all. Please protect that freedom dear God. Thank you that we can still express ourselves openly in open forums such as blogs, meetings, rallies, and other venues. Thank you that we can still own our own firearms and use them for sport or for protection. Thank you that we can still own property and are free to move about the country. Thank you that we can still look at one another and know that each of us are among the most generous people on earth. Thank you that we can all be proud of our young men and women in the military and thank You, God for them. Thank you that while almost 1 in 5 of us are without jobs, there are friends, relatives and neighbors in our communities ready to help out the less fortunate. Thank you, Lord that by all standards, we live in a country where all are equal. We have many things too great to mention Lord, we are so thankful for Your grace.

Oh, God, please strengthen our faith. Protect our nation and our people. Guide the results of the election in 11 days. Help us to never doubt Your Word or Your faithfulness. Lift us up, Father, that we may boldly proclaim Your truth each and every day. Let us be sensitive to the leading of Your Spirit and never forget that, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). Dear Lord, we praise You, Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness is great. Father, we bring these prayers to you through Jesus Christ, Amen.
