praying-hands-bibleHelp our nation with its unbelief!

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:24-25)

Dear Lord You are supreme and we adore You. Oh God!  You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of all things.  You are the truth and You are good, You are lovely and sweet. You cannot be matched. You bring life to our very bones and joy to our hearts that is unspeakable. You tell us things that give us hope, life, confidence and assurance in your love and care. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the last. You are the great creator. There would be no life without You. We delight to rest in you. You are magnificent.

Lord, we confess our sins and understand there is no one without sin, not one.  We ask your forgiveness, Father.  We ask forgiveness for our nation, for we have forgotten You.  Forgive us when we find fault in our brothers. Help us to look beyond any shortcomings and look deeper within ourselves to become better people. Help us to be more like You, Oh God.

Thank You Father for blessing our nation as You have.  Thank You for Your forgiveness, dear Lord.  Thank You for Your protection and Your grace. Thank You for the blessing of knowing that we are forgiven.

Dear Lord, please help our nation with its unbelief. Lead us into a renewed relationship with You. Forgive us when we fall short of doing all that You have called us to do.  Forgive us when we fail to demonstrate love and forgiveness toward those who wrong us.

Father it is Sunday, Your day! Thank You for this day.  Thank You for allowing us to be born in a land where we can freely go to the church of our choice and worship.  Please protect us and help us to stay free.  Help all to not take our freedom for granted.  Father, we have been at war with those who wish to destroy our land and jeopardize our religious freedom.  Give us Your strength, Oh God.  Help our people to remember the power of prayer.  Lord, we have a national election in 16 days, please help us. Father, we seek Your sovereign blessing on our nation.  We ask for Your protection and Your divine intervention on this election for our President.  Give us the leader that will follow Biblical principles Lord.  We pray these prayers and claim Your promises in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

Day 13 of prayer, 27 days to election

praying-handsAnd He shall hear my voice.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (Psalm 55:17)

Father, we praise you this day. We exalt our praises and our adoration toward you Lord.  You are the graceful and merciful God Almighty.  You are the Creator of all and you are our Creator.  We give you our devotion, Lord and we give you our prayers.  We listen attentively Lord for your answers.

Lord, please forgive us for not always listening and forgive us for not giving you our consistent devotion.  Father, we are sorry that we as a nation have forgotten you.  We thank you Lord for not forgetting us.  Your love is amazing.  Your love is great.  Thank you for Your blessings on each of us and thank you for blessing our nation.  Please restore us O’ God and fill us with your spirit.  Help us in our time of need.

Dear God please direct each of our leaders as they govern our nation.  Please protect us and guide the outcome of this presidential election in November.  You are the only one to protect us, Father.  We pray for your divine intervention.

We pray this day for each of our government leaders both local and national.  We pray this day for our people.  We pray that minds would be attentive to the things of importance for our land and for the good of all mankind.  We pray for minds that would protect our heritage and our constitution.  Lord, give our nation the ability to see the splendor of Your holiness. Heal our land, O’God!  Give us all ears that will hear the majesty of Your voice.  Lead us all, and lead our nation to holy and righteous living.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Day 8 of Prayer for USA Election

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:14)

For all Christians the verse above tells us what should constitute our prayer lives: We should pray properly, purposefully and persistently. When all three elements are a part of our prayer lives, they work.  We are to align ourselves with God’s will.  We are to ask for what we want; we are to be specific.   We are to pray persistently.  The apostle Paul tells us to pray without ceasing. Every time we pray, God’s mighty power is released and made available to bring victory and breakthrough into even seemingly impossible situations.

Dear heavenly Father,

We love you Lord.  You are an awesome and amazing God.  You are faithful.   You have placed us in the greatest nation in the world.  The land of the free!  You have blessed us mightily. You are generous beyond anything we can imagine or deserve.  We praise you Lord for you are worthy to be praised, you are the King of all Kings, you are above any authority in heaven or on earth, You are creator, redeemer and sustainer.

We confess that we have not bowed before You.  We confess we have not acknowledged Your rule in our lives and over our leaders and our nation. We have gone along with the ways of the world and failed to give You glory.  Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and the universe.

Father, watch over us this day.  Dear Lord, please guide us and strengthen us as we confess our sins to You.  Fill us with compassion as we pray for one another and as we pray for the leadership of our great country.  Please fill us as we pray for the needs of the world.  Please help us to not be judgmental, condemning and prideful.  Fill us dear God with your love.   Draw us close to you Father; create in us a desire to come to you in prayer every day for Your leadership, love and protection to reign in our lives and throughout our land.  We come to you once again and ask for you divine intervention and protection on our national election.  Dear God, please heal our land.

Through Jesus Christ we pray, AMEN.
