Day 8 of Prayer for USA Election

A prayer for election 2012 USA

“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.

40 Days of Prayer, #1, September 28

40 DAYS TO A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION

Day 1 of 40 days of prayer for our country.

In a daily devotional from this morning my pastor gave this interesting fact: John Jay, PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS; DIPLOMAT; AUTHOR OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS; ORIGINAL CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE U. S. SUPREME COURT; GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

I pray we can get back this providence and take hold of our duty as a Christian nation.

It is our duty to pray for those who hold elected office in our country. In fact, Scripture commands us to do so.

“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”, (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

Dear heavenly Father,

We praise you and acknowledge you as the creator of our universe. We acknowledge the blessings you have bestowed on this land we call the United States of America. We confess our sins Lord and ask forgiveness for forgetting you during these times of need. Please forgive us and our nation for failing you. We thank you Father for allowing us to be born in the land of the free. We thank you for all the riches and grace you have provided throughout history. We come to you respectfully and humbly to give thanks for the blessing we receive daily. Lord, please protect our land and keep us free. Dear Lord, please heal our land. Draw us back to you Lord and allow your strength to restore our nation to a place where we serve and honor You. Father we thank you for the great leaders of the past and ask that you give us a leader on November 6 that will follow the calling You have given us. We thank you once again for all our blessings. In God we Trust. Through your son Jesus Christ we pray,

AMEN

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”, (2 Chronicles 7:14).

God bless the USA,

“The Tubthumper”
