10 days left praying for the election

heal-our-land-v5-600x300Our nation needs Your guidance and direction.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, (1 Timothy 2:1-3).

Dear Lord You are our God, You, Lord are One. Blessed be the Name of Your glorious kingdom forever and ever.  We love You Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our might. Praise You Oh God!

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Psalm 32:5-7)

Forgive us Lord, forgive the sins of our nation and our people.  Forgive me, oh God for my sins. Forgive us, Lord, for misrepresenting You in the way we speak and act. We pray that You would correct us and guide us. Please forgive Your church, Lord, and deliver us from abdicating our responsibilities

We thank You Lord for all our blessings.  Thank You, Heavenly Father, for equipping each of Your children in unique ways.  We know Oh God that all we have, all our talents and all our strength comes from You.  Lord God, we thank You for our founders’ foresight in establishing our God-given right to pursue our own destiny.

Father, our nation needs Your guidance and direction.  We humbly ask that Your Spirit intercede with the leaders of our nation, giving them the wisdom to make decisions that will honor You. We ask that Your Spirit intercede with this election in 10 days and You protect our nation from evil.  We need You, Oh God.  Please help us, Lord.

Lord, give Americans the desire to realize happiness through the pursuit of Your word and Your principles. We ask You to lead Americans away from the futility of chasing after false gods. We ask for a renewed hunger for Your truth in our land. We ask You to give us a renewed hunger for Your word. May we rediscover both individually and corporately as a nation, that Your word not only lights our path, but provides the roadmap for our journey through life. May we discover how Your truth not only protects, but truly liberates us.  Open our hearts, Oh God.  Draw us, Lord, to a reverence for the truth of Your word. Grant us the ability to understand right and wrong as defined and determined by Your truth. We ask You, Father, to grant Americans the ability to know Your true character and the wisdom to discern truth from deception. We ask that Americans will be lovers of truth, rejecting false witness and distortions of the truth.

Dear Lord, we plead for an awakening in Your church. Convict us of our responsibility to live and speak Your truth and grace into our culture. Protect Your church from being absorbed into the ways of this world. And Lord, we ask for Your protection from persecution and from all attempts to silence the voice of Your church.

We pray for courage and wisdom for Your people, Lord. Give us the boldness to show up, stand up and speak up for Your truth, with power and grace. Forgive us, Lord, for misrepresenting You in the way we speak and act. Correct us and guide us, we pray. Heavenly Father, we ask that You open our eyes to our responsibility as individuals and Christians.

We pray once again, Father, for our leaders. We ask that You turn their hearts towards You, Lord. We ask that You soften their hearts, Lord, to recognize and receive truth. Lord, we ask that You grant them the understanding and knowledge that come from the fear of You. We ask that You grant them wisdom and discernment, Lord, and that You make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. Lord, we ask that You direct their hearts to do Your will.

We pray fervently for peace both here and abroad. Let us live with reverence for You and with peace in our hearts for our fellow man.  We know this is Your desire.  May we always remember that You are our God and Savior.  Father, Heal this land and help us in this election both national and local. Help us each with our individual lives.  We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

 

Day 25 praying for election, 15 to go.

WomanpraySpeak to our spirits with words of wisdom and direction.

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. (Luke 11:1)

Father, we praise You dear Lord.  We bow before Your Holiness.  Lord, You are the greatest. You are our creator. Father, we worship You the most high.

Lord we confess our sins to You.  Please forgive us, Oh God.  Forgive our nation and our people for what we have done. We come to You with open hearts and ask that You speak to our spirits and our souls with words of wisdom and direction, that we may know how You desire for us to pray.

Lord, we thank You for Your grace. We thank You for Your abundance of love.  We thank You once again that we were born in America. We thank You for our freedom and protection of days past. We pray, Lord that You will protect us and provide for us in days future.

Lord, help Your humble servants to speak words of praise and adoration, for You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Teach us, Lord, that we may know You and the power of Your resurrection. Fill us with Your presence and forgive our shortcomings.  Lead us, Oh God, to a higher place, that You might be lifted up and draw all people and nations to You. Father help us, we so need Your help, Oh God.

Lord, we pray for this upcoming election.  We know Father that You are in control and will appoint or allow a person to be in that position.  What we do, individually, is of little consequence, Lord, when Your mighty hand of control and direction waves the future toward us. We pray, Father, the one who lives Your principles the most will be appointed in 15 days.  We pray for Your divine protection over our nation.

Lord, we pray these things to Jesus Christ who taught His disciples to pray:  Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
