National Day of Prayer

Today is the National Day of Prayer.

I don't think we've ever needed prayer for this nation as we do right now. This is my own prayer for our nation. Please join with me in agreeing for these things to be done in Jesus' name.

Father, we come to you today with heavy hearts for the state that our nation is in right now. It seems that unrighteousness is ruling the day in so many areas of our society. Your word says that 'righteousness' exalts a nation. We are praying, Lord, and asking for you to lift up wise and righteous leaders in our nation. We know that there is HOPE for our nation to be turned around and we acknowledge that our hope is in YOU, not in government or it's leaders. You are the One who can turn it all around.

Our nation was founded on Your principles and values. Our nation was founded on the Rock that is Christ. Take us there again, Lord. Help each of us to preach the Word and declare Your goodness to those who don't know You. Help us as Your body to be united in Spirit. Help us to love one another. Help us to walk in Your ways.

We declare that You will have Your way with America. You are not finished with us as a nation. Use the United States of America to be a shining city on a hill. Use America to show other nations that Righteousness truly exalts any nation.

We lift up and pray for Israel as well, that she would be safe and secure. We know that Your hand is upon Israel, as she is the apple of Your eye. Let her enemies be scattered and brought to confusion. Let anyone who tries to attack Israel be brought down. We pray a blessing over Israel for continued prosperity, health, and shalom peace, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen
