Please pray with me:
Heavenly Father,
Your Word:
2 Peter 2:19Confession:
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
Our nation, the land that I love, is sick. We have lost our first love. We have lost You as our identity. We have turned, everyone to his own way. Have mercy O God.
Father, corruption seems to be everywhere. In government, in business, in entertainment, in our communities and in our neighborhoods. We have given free reign, as a nation, and succumbed to the allure of exalting self. Have mercy O God.
Where did it come from. Surely You have said it:
Jeremiah 17:9Truly, the wiles of the enemy have offered us power, vice, and sin, all wrapped in delicious enticements. And we have indulged to the point of addiction. Have mercy on us, O God. Bring us to the Cross of Jesus Christ to find grace to save us.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Isaiah 53:6For godly leaders and government:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
How can we, as a nation, develop godly leaders, if we do not practice godly actions, as You, the One True and Living God, have defined "godly?" And without You, corruption has taken over. We need Your help. We need a revival.
You are the God of Justice. Many people are shouting for justice. Yet, this is impossible, if "we, the people" do not look to the God of Justice. Help us to turn to You.
As our government has grown, our rights have been rescinded. We have turned to government for our protection, rather than turned to You. Forgive us. We need Your help. We need a revival. Help us turn to You.
Call Your faithful to positions of leadership in every area of our lives: government, social organizations, churches, neighborhoods...raise up an army of leaders who look to You and Your Word for the answers.
For the entertainment industry:
Father, the entertainment industry, with rare exception, seeks our demise. It promotes corruption and has given us an appetite for corruption. We want to watch it, listen to it, and play "games" that allow us to be "players."
Raise up voices of reason to promote Your Holiness, that we may confess the demise of our appetite for Your Goodness, Your Justice, Your Security, Your Salvation.
For our schools:
Father, schools are no longer safe, and our children have become targets of the enemy. We took prayer out of our schools, we removed Your commandments...we do not want to submit to the protections You have put in place. Forgive us for thinking we can control and protect our society from corruption...
The enemy of righteousness is bent on our corruption. Yet, YOU have defeated him. You have overcome him. You have given those in Christ Jesus the authority over him. Raise us up, God of Justice. Raise up Your church to take authority over our neighborhoods, our towns, cities, our states and our nation...and bring it back to You.
For our neighborhoods. For revival!:
We need reviving...we have passed out and have become impotent. We are as buried bones. Raise us up to take back this nation. Grant us a determination to pick up the Sword of the Spirit and wield it in accordance with Your Word.
Revelation 12:11Let us proclaim the Word of God for the United States. Raise up our voices to speak out our authority by the blood of the Lamb. And may it be a sweet smelling aroma before Your throne of grace...
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Move in our hearts and minds that we may turn from our wicked ways and boldly come before Your throne and find grace to help in our time of dire need.
Father, give us Your Word in our hearts! Grant us a hunger and thirst for Your Word. And as we indulge in it, may it come forth from us as our testimony! May we not love our lives unto the death.
For YOU are LIFE and YOU are LIFE Eternal. Praise be to Your Name, Jesus Christ: born of the virgin Mary, crucified for us, resurrected for us, and Who is the Living Word. May we erupt in praise and sing Your mighty victory over this land. May we be a people of prayer before the Righteous and Holy God.
It is Your desire that all men come to repentance:
2 Peter 3:9Fill us with Your Hope that others desire it. Fill us with Your Word to give them and call them to repentance. Father, develop us as Your army to uphold our leaders, protect our society, our children and this nation. Help us to do our part to lead in revival that JESUS CHRIST be served with excellence.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
...that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming. In the Name of Jesus Christ,
