Please pray with me.
Heavenly Father,
I love this nation: The United States of America. The USA, where You have placed me. I am grateful beyond words that I live here and have the freedoms that have blessed this nation. So many people have poured out their very life for the freedoms that I enjoy each day.
You have blessed this nation far more than any other nation on the earth. You have given us a quality of life that exceeds all other nations. I give You thanks.
Yet, we have turned from You. We have enjoyed he bounty of Your gracious favor. You have piled up mountains of blessings upon this nation. You have provided for our physical needs, including healthcare and the technologies that put our nation above every nation.
You have provided a quality of food that is better than all the nations of the earth. You have provided for our intellectual growth and given us education that is the desire of the world. Because of the protection of Your hand, we have enjoyed freedom of speech and the freedom to worship. We worship You openly and without threat of arrest and torment.
Your unceasing blessings have poured out upon this nation for centuries. Thank You.
Yet, in our opulence, stuffing ourselves with the blessings from Your hand and heart, we have turned from You. We have credited ourselves as the author of these blessings. We have forgotten You. We have turned from You. We, Your church, have stood by silently, as the very freedoms You have given us, are, one-by-one, being taken away.
We have watched as the spirit of anti-christ has grown strong. Have mercy and forgive us. Waken Your church to vehemently stand and resist the forces that threaten this nation. Fill Your Church with Your love and compassion. Grant us words that strengthen each other and dissipate the wrath that has grown to openly deny You.
Father, this nation now embraces death through abortion. We call good evil and evil good as Christians are attacked for standing for Your Word. Freedom of speech for Christians is no more. And we are silent.
Cleanse us and raise us up in strength! May we throw off the fear and stand boldly before Your throne of grace to intercede for those who embrace the convenience of abortion and believe they have the right to take the life of an unborn child. Father, I am ashamed that this has gone so far. O God...YOU are our hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.
Father, we have been silent as marriage has been redefined. Even in Your church, we are embracing what You specifically abhor. Call us to prayer. As this nation uses the freewill You gave us, to embrace our fleshly desires...have mercy, O God.
Raise up Your church to pray fervently on behalf of those who have been caught in the lair of the enemy. Let us stand in the gap for this nation, that Your patience not run dry. Fill us with Your Word, and a hunger and thirst to petition You on behalf of those who are used by the enemy to establish evil as good. O God...YOU are our hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.
Draw Your church to be ashamed of our laxness in these matters. Raise up Your Spirit to speak to our spirit that we may cry our before You, ashamed that we have not diligently prayed for this nation as laws have been changed, as You have been pushed out of the way. You are our only hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.
1 John 1:9Draw us to confess. Bring Your church to confession. Heap upon our minds and hearts, that we have been grievous in our responsibilities. Remind us that we are the ones that can bring change because this is not a battle against flesh and blood. Bring us to confess and repent.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 10:11
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Open our eyes to see the shame that has saturated our culture. Raise up Your Word that we may have hope. Strengthen us, and equip us to be the Light of Jesus Christ in every part of our daily walk. And may our testimony be so inviting that all who would be saved, would come to Salvation.
Help us. Raise us up. That we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
In Jesus' Name
