Please pray with me:
Heavenly Father,
Your Word:
Psalms 122:6In direct obedience, I come praying for the peace of Jerusalem. You have commanded that I do so. Many are concerned with the Iran Deal and we bring our concerns directly to You. Your Word focuses on the nations in the middle east, extending outward. So this focus for peace centers around Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
May believers in the United States grow a love for Jerusalem in their hearts for You. It is Your city. It's very meaning is City of Peace, Foundation of Peace. Iran threatens Israel and Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom to make godly decisions.
We lack knowledge and understanding. Our desire is to pray in accordance with Your Word. I pray for our leaders—grant them the wisdom from above. Grant them insights into the Iranian mindset to understand the triggers that define their words and actions. Grant every person involved in these decisions a spirit of humility that he or she needs You. May they clearly admit their impotence; that regardless of their "intelligence," their wisdom is limited. They need the wisdom from above. May they be cognizant of this fact and search Your Word and pray fervently for Your guidance.
We are already at war with the enemy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Again, and again, I ask that You raise up an army of prayer warriors. May prayers rise up before Your throne of grace unceasingly from this nation on behalf of our leaders, those in authority, and for the peace of Jerusalem.
Your Word promises to give wisdom, "liberally" to those who ask for it. I am here asking for it. I ask on behalf of our leaders: President Trump, Vice President Pence, decision makers and influencers in our armed forces, lawmakers in Washington and each state in the U.S. Father, I'm asking for wisdom for this nation, that we may confess our sin and return to You. Pour out Your spirit of wisdom that we may see our sin. May teachers and preachers of Your Word have the courage to speak out with conviction that this nation confess and repent of our sin.
We lack wisdom. May our leaders and decision makers know that their wisdom, regardless of the extensive network of information, is limited. Urge our leaders to seek Your wisdom. May they acknowledge their limitations and by Your Spirit, see Your wisdom...the wisdom from an omniscient God, who gives liberally to those who ask.
Beckon our leaders to acknowledge their need. May every one of them realize and confess their sin before You, that You may delight in pouring out of Your wisdom.
We need You. May this nation again...rejoice in You alone.
Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,
In Jesus’ Name.

Father,
ReplyDeleteI ask that these leaders search Your Word and see that nationalism is Your idea. You create the nations and You place leaders in place. Globalism is not Your idea. You are a Kingdom God, Praise be to Your Name and all glory, laud and honor be to The Lord Jesus Christ who is the King of kings!
Bring a spirit of nationalism to this nation. May we categorically reject globalism as from the enemy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
May we awaken from our stupor of negligence, confess and repent of our sins, and return to the Throne of Grace, where we boldly ask Your blessing and that this nation be One Nation Under God.
Father,
ReplyDeleteI bring the Pentecost of Acts, Chapter two to Your attention. Did not thousands of people hear in their own language? We need that now.
Father, as officials and dignitaries communicate about the Iran Deal, they are speaking in different languages as well as different customs. Meaning is allusive. We need Your touch, Your miracle that will allow people to hear accurately. I ask it.
Father, we also need contrite hearts. We need Your work to know what we need. Please, Holy Spirit, teach us and amplify Your mutterings to the Father.
I ask in Jesus' Name
Father,
ReplyDeleteThe muck, trash, and clutter in Washington is great. How can anyone have ears to hear and eyes to see? ...unless You intervene. I ask for Your intervention.
There are those who do not want to hear and those that want to hear and cannot. And what about eyes to see. Did You not open Elisha's eyes, and Paul's eyes. Yes You did! I give You thanks and glory - You open the eyes!
Father, Paul, then Saul, did not want to see differently! Elisha was afraid of the multitude of the enemy. I come asking for the breakthrough for the enemy encamps around Washington DC in vast numbers. BUT - You are greater than the enemy. I claim the blood of Jesus on our President and Vice President, Our Congress, Our National, State and local leaders - that whether they want to see and hear, or not!...that You open their eyes and give them a heart for truth. A desire for truth.
The swamp continues. The Iran deal threatens Your beloved city of Jerusalem. Help Lord. Open the eyes and ears of those making decisions and help us desire Truth. Your Truth - the only Truth: Jesus Christ is Lord.
Establish those in power and influence to stand strong. Blind those whose hearts are set on darkness and are being used by the enemy. Blind them and cause them to crumble.
Grant Your saints the courage to stand for Your statutes and Your law that has protected us throughout the life of this nation. Cause many, a legion of saints, to rise up and speak up. May they be silent no longer and may Jesus Christ be served with excellence - as YOU define it.
In Jesus' Name! Mighty to save.
