For a nation unhinged...the prayer of one sinner

***For a nation unhinged...a prayer for Robert Mueller and Steve Scalise

Isaiah 60:12
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Father, the bedlam is unbelievable...unconscionable. Yet again, the week brings news beyond understanding. This nation has set itself up where individuals believe they have become god. Father, forgive us.

You are Giver of Life and a God of mercy. You do not execute immediate judgement when we sin. Thank You. You clearly communicate that Your desire is that all men be saved.

1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

We continually show You that we do not want to be saved. We want to be god. We do not want truth...we want what we want. Forgive us and change our hearts.

When we can't easily find a way to condemn President Trump, we appoint a special counsel to find "something." Please forgive us and turn our hearts to desire the knowledge of truth.

Surround Robert Mueller with truth-tellers. I ask for discernment for him, those around him, and this nation. He promises: "I accept this responsibility and will discharge it to the best of my ability," Father, it is not enough. He can not do this job unless You intervene. We conveniently leave out, "So help me God." Father, may Robert Mueller ask for your help. May he ask for it every day of his life. Essentially, his mission is to find "something"...with which to condemn the President.

...and what is the purpose? Have we turned over a new leaf and become a nation that wants to know the truth? ...or do we seek "something," anything to incriminate. Does this man realize that he has been put in place to dismantle this nation? Does he realize that he has not been appointed to find truth but to identify some means, any means, to dismantle and discredit the President of the United States..,so we can execute judgement? You know O LORD.

Father, there are those in the media that have already begun executing POTUS. They have no boundaries and they must know that they are inciting people to take a life. These acts are unconscionable. I pray that their conscience has not been permanently seared. Please, Father, bring us to our senses and our knees.

Father, the Congressional baseball game. Can we, as a nation see that we have become unhinged and return to You? ...or does it give other people permission to shoot and kill—to execute judgement as they see fit? The question asked, "Are these republicans?" ...has being "a republican" become a national crime that mandates immediate execution? Please bring us to our senses, that we may appeal to You for Your mercy.

Please touch the body of Steve Scalise. Bring healing and mending to him physically as well as emotionally and psychologically. Guide the medical staff to find unique ways to restore this man's body. I ask that his road to recovery be short and effective. Give him the mental determination and motivation to make it through the physical pain necessary in the healing process. I ask that his internal organs heal. May there be no permanent damage to their ability to function according to Your design.

But what about his mind and heart? How can that be restored? Truly, there is safety and security only through faith in a just and merciful God. Please give this man wisdom to process what has happened to him. I ask the same for his family, for they have been wounded as well.

Others have been affected and You alone know the extent of the mental and emotional damage from this incident. These people need You Father. Please demonstrate Your care for them in tangible ways. May they come forth knowing that You are there and You are able. Please cause these people to seek You. As the players united in prayer at second base, may our nation unite.

Grant us all the wherewithal to amend our ways and return to the safety and security of Your Word. May we clearly see that we are on the path to destruction...that we have become unhinged. May we align ourselves, yet again, and join together—hinged to You.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

The sins of a nation ...the prayer of one sinner

*** And they will know we are Christians by our love

Proverbs 6:16-19
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

It is confusing—perhaps I make it so. You are love, yet You are justice. Your love for us gave us the Lord Jesus Christ to demonstrate obedience and provide the way to eternal salvation for our souls — yet, You anger over sin and there is a comprehensive list of what You hate:

• Pride
• Lying
• Shedding innocent blood
• Wicked hearts
• Mischievous activities
• A false witness
• Those that sow discord.

I look at this list and I know I am guilty.

I have been prideful, looking at those who try to escape their reality with drug and addictions; those engaged in the sex industry and trafficking; those who uphold and promote sexual confusion—especially with children... and what have I done? I have said in my heart, "Thank you that I am not like those sinners." What a smokescreen. It is pride. Please forgive me.

You hate lying and I have truly lied to myself...every time I looked at the sin of others and didn't pray for them...even a short mutter under my breath... I lied to myself when I thought, "There's nothing I can do!" ...I could have prayed and I should have done so. I haven's sought You on how to love them. Please forgive me.

...and abortion continues. There is no way that I am innocent of this, because I haven't been diligent in praying for those making a decision to abort, those who work in the industry, those who have power to change the laws. ...I have lied to myself when I thought there was nothing I could do... I could have prayed.

You hate wicked hearts... and there are daily reportings of terrorists acts. I cannot plead, "I didn't know." ...surely, I am so aware of so much that it is overwhelming. The wickedness cannot be denied. I have not prayed for those caught up in terrorism. I haven't even muttered a prayer for the victims and their families. Please forgive me.

You hate mischievous activities and a false witness. The reports from our government seem stuffed to the brim with power agendas, clever ploys, lies, leaking of information... the list is endless. It is mischievous and when I don't pray for them, I become a part of it—a participant. Please forgive me. Change me.

You hate those that sow discord...Oh Father, this happens in our churches, our neighborhoods, our communities...is it any wonder that the discord of Congress struggles to find unity? Change me into a unifier. Change ME. Change many...

It is the "age-old" question. How am I to love?

John 13:5
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I can, at the very least... pray.
Do You hear the brief mutterings under my breath? I think so.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

How can the U.S. find unity...a prayer

*** A prayer for unity in the United States

Psalms 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity.

Philippians 2:2
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

The nation seems to be falling apart. As a whole, it seems that we are intent on turning from our heritage as a Christian nation. The divisions, the fractures are deep and have permeated every area of our society. Our self-control seems to have evaporated to the point that we make ourselves foolish in the eyes of the world.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, I struggle. How can I help? What can I do? What would YOU have me do in this situation? Help Lord.

Yet, Your Word clearly bids us to unity. It is Your pleasure when we dwell in unity. You demonstrate perfect unity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...so You have not left us without direction or guidance. Thank You.

You are unified and You desire us to be unified. Your Word teaches us to be like-minded, having the same love, and to be in "one accord"...so we are to unify ourselves through love. Truly, the media reports make this most difficult. We need Your help. Grant us prayers for those around us, for those in the news. Grant us prayers for our families, our neighbors, our communities, and for this nation. Here my prayer for help. We cannot do this on our own.

But Christ has made it possible. Christ has shown Your love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Sacrifice. Pour out Your Spirit on Your church in the U.S. with a sacrifice of praise.

Open our hearts to love each other. May our love begin in our families— may we truly love one another. May it spread throughout our churches— may we truly love one another. Father, establish Your love in us through our words and actions that others may see and "know that we are Christians by our love." Please help us to quiet our judgement and squelch any condescension.

Teach us, daily, to learn to love and to praise You for the work You will do in our hearts. Transform Your church into a powerful influence into this society. Open our eyes to take ownership of our silence that has allowed the changes in this nation. Help us to do our part— may we truly love one another and may that love capture those who seek, that they too may find You.

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

In Jesus’ Name.
