***Were we ashamed? Will we walk? Will we hearken?

Jeremiah 6:15-19
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are the One True and Living God. Your righteousness and purity is beyond our comprehension. You call us to be like You and You have provided the way, through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, that we can come before You.

You have provided for us that our future be secured from separation from You. Father, You always provide...if we are willing. You always provide...when we do our part. You have been clear about the conditions of Your blessings and You have not been unreasonable. On the contrary, You invite, You implore, You plead with us to follow Your ways, that we may be safe and secured.

You have clearly spelled out the abominations that You detest. And clearly, we have not listened. We have continued in our ways and fed our desires. Truly, as a nation, we have killed the unborn and we have paid for those overseas to do the same. Forgive us.

Our current administration is taking steps to withdraw from this practice. Our current administration promises a SCOTUS that will uphold and value life. Have mercy O Lord.

May millions rise up and support this direction. You saw the March for Life! People overtly supporting this movement and standing against those who believe that abortion is a part of "womens' health."

Touch the hearts of many to rise up in support of Your directives. May we no longer strike and murder the unborn. Move in the hearts of newly pregnant mothers, those that support them, and raise up the army of women who have had abortions to join together to stop the carnage. Have mercy, O God, have mercy.

Strengthen us that this practice be eradicated from our thinking.

Open our hearts that we may be ashamed. Ashamed of what we have done, what we have supported, and ashamed that we have allowed this practice to continue while enjoying the bounty of Your blessings.

Marriage has been redefined. Father, we think we are so smart that we don't need You and we don't need Your direction. We have become proud. We don't want the "old paths" ...we want the new. We want what we want and we proclaim it to be good. Forgive us.

You have pleaded with us to seek Your ways and find rest for our souls. But we would not listen. Forgive us.

Many of us, who seek You, have turned away and said nothing. We enjoy our stuff. We have amused ourselves as our nation has gone the way of Your warning, while we turned away and refused to act, to engage, to love those who have turned away.

Father, Your church has disengaged from our nation for so long, that many young adults do not even remember any teaching about You. Forgive us and help us return to our first love—and proclaim it.

We have not watched. We have not hearkened to the sound of the trumpet. You set watchmen over us, and they spoke in vain for we would not listen.

The enemy has gained strength. The enemy has used our own to fight against us.

The opposition is now organized, funded, and powerful. And they are our children and our grandchildren—who have been captured by the enemy and are now used for his purpose. They are human shields against the enemy of Jesus Christ.

We are dismayed. May we repent. May we stand before Your throne and repent of our shame and petition You on behalf of these who have been taken captive.

Fill us with Your words that would turn their hearts back to You. May we again become actively engaged in this battle, standing before Your throne, worshiping in spirit and in truth, and speaking in love as Your Spirit gives us utterance.

May we once again hearken to Your Word. May we no longer reject You and may we embrace Your path with contrite hearts.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Jeremiah prayers —for the USA ...No. 1

***Can I contend with horses? ...a call to repentance ..No. 1

Jeremiah 12:5
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

MONDAY:
Do the footmen weary me?
Can I contend with horses? If I am wearied in the land of peace, how shall I fare in battle?

There are a multitude of thoughts that pelt me. Teach me, O Lord. Have mercy on me and upgird my mind.

I claim 2 Timothy 1:7. I claim the power and love from You and I reject fear that comes against me. Teach me to serve You and stir up the gifts from Your Spirit. Teach me and remove the fear and reactions in me that thwart the testimony for Christ. Teach me fervent obedience to You.

Pluck out the evil that prevails in this land. Would it not be Your mercy? Open our eyes, our ears — may we hear the call to battle and respond.

Are there 10 righteous? Have mercy O God.

Eyes that do not see —or do they not look? Ears that do not or will not hear the call to arms. Father, I am no better. Forgive me. Upgird me to repent.

Awaken us — may Christ be served.

TUESDAY:
(My mind is in high drive. Thoughts without consequence. Help Lord. You ask me to do things that make no sense. I understand that they don't have to. But I wonder if I'm hearing Your voice. Am I doing Your work at the right time, in the right manner, and with the right heart? Being with a lot of people is hard. I struggle to manage the mental traffic that follows. Please help me.)

This nation has been a spiritual deaf-mute. We have not listened when we have heard. We have not acted. Forgive us. Teach us to pray for this nation.

(Please transform my thinking to manage all the stuff of my day and to handle the time-outs to be a fruitful joy with You. ...may I be found faithful.)

WEDNESDAY:
God of heaven, LORD of all the earth. You, who formed me —who formed the world where I live —You who created beauty that cannot be seen —justice that can not be embraced, —righteousness that cannot be touched, justice that cannot be embraced, —purity so great, that I cannot even contemplate it in my mind. ... You, who can be everything and yet You evaporate into nothing.

Have mercy on us —You have made us, created us, to be both finite in our bodies and infinite in our soul, You have embedded this understanding in us, yet we primarily look for significance in the physical. Forgive us. Lead us.

THUSDAY:
How do we give You the glory every day? (May I not cause You to weep —ever.) You see all that we do you see all that we think and You know our sin. You are not glorified in our nation anymore. Further, many work hard each day to remove everything that represent Your part of the success this nation has enjoyed.

They hate You. And Your church seems impotent to stand. We have grown fat and lethargic. Forgive us. We have not prayed; we have not sought You. We have not protected our freedoms to worship and to speak freely about the Gospel of Christ. Forgive us.

You are the everlasting God; You are the only hope for this nation.

Have mercy, O God and move our hearts to repent. May we all feel the shame of our deeds. Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Later:
We are bereft —your church —bereft of water: Your Holy Spirit —our eyesight is dimmed. Gone. Are we ashamed? Awaken us. Have mercy.

Our iniquity testifies against us. Our sin pronounces our wickedness and we have become comfortable with it.

You are our Hope —do it for Your Names' sake. Our backsliding establishes our guilt. You are our Savior in time of trouble. By our own hands, our own words, we are in trouble. Have mercy O LORD. O Hope of Israel — be our hope. God of Creation —recreate our hearts. Holy Spirit —convict us that we may repent. Crush us with knowledge of our sin.

Surely You have been made a stranger in this land. This should not be. We have evicted You from among us and we welcome all that hates You. Yet You, O Lord are in our midst And we are called by Your Name... Do not leave us.

FRIDAY (Inauguration Day)
Perfect God over all the earth. Teach me Your way for this day, this season, this life.

If you are in my midst, I take my safety in You. You are omnipresent...You are here.

Father, this nation loves to wander, and we go where ever our feet desire. We have put no restraints on our desires, nor any boundaries.

Is not Your Word clear? It is clear O LORD. Is Your care for us defined? And have You clearly articulated the places we should not go?

Your word is clear. Your care is defined and You have clearly articulated he boundaries of our safety. But we have ignored Your warnings. We have gone our own way.

Our gluttony of everything has become our god. We have gorged ourselves with out self-importance, with satisfying our appetites for food, stuff, sex, entertainment. We have fed our eyes, our ears, our bodies with every sensation imaginable. We have shunned Your Word. We have worked with diligence to remove every evidence of You from our sight, our day, our existence.

When we could not run from You, When we could not hide from Your existence, we waged war against You and openly performed every abomination to spite You.

SAVE US —LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

Your church protects our comfort —as if we have a right to comfort because we associate ourselves with Your Son, Jesus Christ. We have become myopic in our daily lives —giving only as far as our comfort. Our comfort has been our god. We protect our comforts.

As we have seen the pain around the world, as media has allowed us to peer into the lives of other nations, and our own, Father, we have been eye-witnesses to:

• Severe hardship
• The sword, pestilence and famine.... And we have given paltry donations. We have given only what would not disturb our comfort.
• We give a little bit, and wash our hands. We turn away, uttering our paltry prayer under our breath..."Lord, be with them."

Forgive us O God, for our sin is great. We have run from You. We fight You and our desires. We run from one desire to another, plundering as we go.

Our sin is so great. Please settle us. Take us into the quiet, where we cannot escape from You. Ope our eyes to see how far we have gone from Your loving kindness. Exhaust us from our comfort binging. We have gorged ourselves to the point that we cannot think. We have become so addicted that we can only look for the next thing to satisfy our addiction-for-the-next-thing.

Exhaust us O God. In Your mercy - exhaust us. See us —in our stupor —please do not turn from us. Open our eyes that we might see our deplorable condition and cower in embarrassment before You.

Waken Your church from our stupor. Waken pastors —upset us —may our pain be great. May it be unmanageable... that we may turn from our pride, our arrogance, our comfort —and come humbly before You.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 4

***Prayer to bring unity and spiritual growth to the U.S. —

Psalm 26:11
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

Job 38:36
Who has put wisdom in the mind?[a] Or who has given understanding to the heart?

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Our nation is desperate. Your church is desperate. Our level of spiritual maturity has diminished to that of babies. Your church is at fault. Open our eyes that we may confess our sin and repent.

We have enjoyed our freedoms and taken them for granted. We have not prayed fervently for our leaders, or our nation. We have watched as the social fabric has wandered away and then run from the protections You put in place through the behaviors set up in Your Word. We have not activated our prayer life or our daily activities to challenge the moral decline of our nation. Open our eyes that we may confess our sin and repent.

Can it be any wonder that the quality of our leadership has declined? Can a nation that has turned its back on You raise up leadership that honors You? It is not possible. Truly the church is at fault.

Can it be any wonder that the truthful reporting by the national media has deteriorated? Can a nation that has no hunger for truth or righteousness raise up media that seeks it? It is not possible.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Truly the church is at fault because Jesus Christ is Truth, and we have not stood up for our right and privilege to proclaim it. Further, we have watched as our First Amendment Right to the Freedom of Speech has been stripped away. The very thing it is meant to protect is all but gone.

Can it be any wonder that the moral decline of our nation has deteriorated? Can a nation that has backsliden produce a government that seeks after righteousness and Truth? It is not possible.

Activate us, Your church. Raise a spiritual hunger and thirst for Truth that we may mature. May we see Your Word as vital to daily life. May we again become activated as soldiers of Christ. May we take our place in the daily battle by "bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ..." (2 Cor. 10:5)

Is it hopeless? You are our Hope. You have promised wisdom if we ask. May our leadership ask. May we, the people, ask for ourselves and on behalf of our leadership. Your Word clearly states:

James 1:5 (KJV) 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.

Senate confirmations are under way. Many Democrats seem determined to fight for those liberal agendas that would move our nation farther away from You. Have mercy O God. Raise up prayers that this nation may turn to You. Raise up prayers for the spiritual growth of our nation, that again we may produce leaders and government that are spiritually mature.

May Your church rise up through Your Word. May we daily grow through solid understanding of Your Word. May we not take for granted the privilege of studying Your Word and proclaiming it. May we, daily, through our actions, demonstrate that Your Word is Truth and only through You can we enjoy safety and freedom in the nation.

Donald J. Trump chooses his administration, grant him wisdom from above. As he chooses his words, his actions, his public (and private) communication —grant him words that move hearts towards You. Grant him favor before Your throne of grace and endow him with Your wisdom as he leads this nation.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 3

***Prayer for the Trump Administration—

2 Chronicles 7:14
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.m their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Leadership. It sets the tone. It sets direction. Through leaders, nations go to war, nations become prosperous or they founder and struggle. We ask Your hand on the leadership of the United States of America.

We believe that only through Your wisdom can the United States recover from the turning from Your Word. Only through obedience to You can this nation survive. Unless we can, with one heart and mind, seek You and Your wisdom, we can not flourish.

Yet, You are our Hope. You have promised wisdom if we ask. May our leadership ask. May we, the people, ask on their behalf. Your Word clearly states:

James 1:5 (KJV) 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.

and:

Proverbs 24:6
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

As Donald Trump chooses his administration, grant him wisdom from above. As he chooses his words, his actions, his public (and private) communication —grant him words that move hearts towards You. Grant him favor before Your throne of grace and endow him with Your wisdom as he leads this nation.

Give Donald Trump wisdom in selection as he chooses those around him. Grace him with wise counselors to surround him. Father, it doesn't end there. These people that he is choosing are also selecting their own staff and they too need wisdom for a multitude of wise counsel. We ask Your guidance and we ask that these men and women receive keen direction that makes sense to them. May there be no hesitation as they select those who will influence their considerations and their decisions.

As all these positions are filled, we ask You to sharpen their minds. May the decisions be clear and may there be no hesitation on who should be chosen. May there be a call on the lives of those who are chosen to accept these positions. Father, we aren't looking for second-stringers...we are asking You to help us have the best: the best leaders, the best advisors, the best people to bring wise counsel.

We ask for men and women of the highest integrity, with the sharpest moral compass. We ask for those who bring the ideas that will turn this nation to once again be One Nation Under God. Father, we are asking for leaders that we can believe in, who will lead with a servant's heart and sharp mind.

Bring the real concerns to their attention. May there be no distractions. Focus their minds on the important matters and give them quick and clear decisions when urgencies arise.

These people need Your insights into the hearts of those they serve. Give them genuine concern for all parties involved and give them words that calm the rampant fear that kills hope and unity.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
