Furnace Prayers: Psalm 91

O God of my salvation, I come in Your Word: Psalm 91.
I come for myself, for all who believe in You and for this nation, the United States of America.

1. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and we are under the shadow of Your wing.
2. You are our refuge and our fortress, You are our God and in You alone, we trust.
3. You deliver us from our enemies (foreign and domestic), and from the noisy pestilence.
4. You cover us with Your feathers and we trust in You. You are Truth and You are our shield and buckler, our protection all the day and night.
   (This nation is in a dark winter –a dark night. Terror, hate, and scoffers, people at large, run after their own desires. Help Lord!)
5. Terror comes in the day, on the news, and in the night, as evil seeks the fulfillment of Satan's desires.
6. Pestilence walks in the darkness –attacking our minds and spirits as well as our bodies! It attackes our hope as a nation, as we hear the work of Satan through these government mandates.
   BUT,
   
7. A thousand shall fall at our side, 10,000 at our right hand!
   BUT
   It shall not come near us.
   
8. Our eyes will see it (We are seeing it Lord!), our ears hear in dismay (Lord, indeed)...the reward of the wicked is proclaimed!
   BUT,
9. Because You, the LORD are our refuge, You, the Most High are our lifeline..
10. NO EVIL shall befall us, nore plagues come near us, or our dwelling.
11. You give Your angels charge over us, and keep us, in ALL our ways! (Even our thoughts, our fears, and our bodies...Thank You!)
12. Your angels bear us up with their hands, and even our foot is not hurt. The stones of the enemy will not come near us.
    BUT,
13. With our feet (shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace!), we will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion, and the dragon –we will trample them under our feet!
    BECAUSE,
14. Because we have set Your love and our hearts towards You, You proclaim that You set us on high...because we know You and call out to Your Name.
    BECAUSE,
15. You proclaim that You answer us when we call.
    

    We are calling - on behalf of ourselves, Your church, and this nation. Thank You that You hear our prayers.
    
    You proclaim that You are with us and will be with us in times of trouble! –Lord God of Heaven, this nation is in time of trouble, and we cry out to You.
    
    You proclaim that You dleiver and honor those who call in Your Name. We are calling.

16. You, alone, satisfy with long life and show us Your salvation.

• • • Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit, I am a lowly sinner. I read how Daniel came before You, confessed the sins of his nation. I come in this same manner. We do not deserve Your mercy, but I ask it. I come on behalf of this nation.

I look to You, O God, for in You alone is refuge, a secure fortress, and our salvation.

I cry out to You and with others who are petitioning You for the future of this nation. Hear my cry for the United States of Amercia. Have mercy, O God.
