VersePlease pray with me:
Psalms 73:19
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
Psalms 91:5
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Heavenly Father,
I give You thanks for You are the God of Life and not of death. I give You thanks that I can come to You in my sorrow for the condition of the United States. I come.
I praise You, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God. You know the condition of this nation, You know our hearts, our fears, our needs. You know our spiritual condition and You know the decrepit condition of our thinking and our hearts. You know the sickness of our spirits. Thank You ...for You are the answer and You are willing to give liberally. I come asking for Your answers.
Our nation suffers another hit. This terror is different for it is clearly the work of one human against another. It was premeditated. It was carefully planned and executed. It's purpose was death of innocent people. Father, one moment all was well, and in another moment, terror reigned without ceasing. Help Lord. You know the details.
First I ask for Your definitive presence with those who are suffering. Many came to the fore as the event unfolded. Many were taken to medical facilities for needed attention. And many have returned home and sit with the reality of their experience. Invigorate Your church to keep reaching out—especially to those whose wounds are mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Help these victims to rise up, seek You and find Your grace, mercy, and peace.
Many are asking for answers. We turn to our police and our government for answers. We demand they respond. We demand they tell us the details and we demand they bring us answers that we want to hear. We demand that they "do something." Forgive us for every time we have not turned to You. You have the answers.
For those that seek, may they turn to You. May they find relevant churches that know Your Word. Father, may Your Word proliferate through the minds and hearts of these people who are seeking answers. Rise up Your army of believers, establish their credibility through an out-flowing of Your peace and hope within them. Establish their demeanor with true empathy for those in pain and seeking some kind of answer. May they find the path to Your Word.
Raise up Your Word in this situation and in this nation. May it be spoken out loud that it may be heard. Please call those who would hear Your Word to find it, hear it, listen intently and internally, and diligently seek You for the only answers that will bring surety.
Father, I pray for churches to wake up and heed the call. Is not the harvest ready? Are the laborers few? Please raise them up. Raise up testimonies that call to the heart of the hurting. Raise up credibility of Jesus Christ—Lord and Savior. Soften the hearts of the hurting who would blame You for not preventing this situation. May they find their own free-will and realize that the shooter had free-will too. Holy Spirit, convict thousands across our nation to utilize Your gift of their free-will and make a decision to receive and follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah!
May this time of grieving be turned to dancing. Up-gird our nation to seek You intently. Raise up warriors to enlist and join the spiritual battle. Teach us to come before Your presence and delight You with the intentions of our hearts. Holy Spirit, descend on us and establish us before the Throne of Grace. Sculpt us to be the prayer warriors that know this not a battle of flesh and blood. Holy Spirit, please lead our prayers.
Father, many people are demanding the government move on gun control. Yet we know, that if guns are banned, other means will surface. Father, it avoids the problem...the problem of our spiritual condition. Raise up churches and pastors, raiser up YOUR message that we will answer to You and that the proliferation of sin is what is beleaguering our nation. Father, may Your church rise to the surface and attend to Your business that You desire that every person come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 2:4...and the media. Father they promote terror and their agendas. They even use this event to put down and criticize our president. Place Your hand of protection on him and his family. Silence the media that uses anything available to promote their agenda. Expose the lies and raise up truth. You are Truth. Jesus Christ is Truth. Let us proclaim truth. We desperately need discernment and wisdom, and words of Your leading. We cannot do this on our own. Help Lord. I cry out to You. May many cry out.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,
In Jesus’ Name.
