A Prayer for President Trump... ... and the SCOTUS Confirmation Process... ...the prayers of my heart

***A Prayer for President Trump...
     ... and the SCOTUS Confirmation Process...
          ...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

REVERENCE & RESPONSE:
You alone are God. You choose the leaders of a nation and it is beyond our understanding. May we rest in Your choices.

Your Word is living and dynamic. It never fails and it does not return void.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

May we beseech You for change in this nation—change to align our laws and our thinking with Your Holy Word. And may we trust in Your choices and in Your ultimate will that we worship You in spirit and in truth.

REQUESTS:
For residents in the United States:

• Quiet our hearts to seek Your ways and relinquish our need to control others.
• Grant us quiet time with Your Word and time to diligently seek You on this matter.
• Open the eyes of our understanding to align our hearts and minds with Your will and Your Word.
• Unite us with Your will that we may return from our own desires and seek You diligently.

For President Trump:

• Grant him the ability to see as You see.
• Grant him discernment and judgement that is from above. (James 3:17)
• Touch his heart and spirit to align with Your heart and spirit.
• Give him a desire to seek Your will and align himself with it.
• By Your Spirit, may he be judicious in hi communication.
• By Your Spirit, may he desire only Your will for the Unites States.

For the confirmation process:

• May this process have a unifying effect to those who seek Your will.
• May those involved know in their spirit what You desire and choose to be obedient.
• Grant these people civil communication in both written and spoken word.
• Quiet the powers that seek break-up of this nation as "One Nation Under God."
• Send confirmation to those who vote on the direction they are to take.

I ask all of this...so that, on this matter, the United States may seek You and that we may be faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

A prayer for children separated from their parents at the border...the prayers of my heart

***A prayer for children separated from their parents at the border...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

Psalm 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

REVERENCE:
You, O God bring children into this world. They are Your heritage and we are admonished to treat them accordingly. Children are Your delight and You are not deaf to their cries.

When the disciples tried to prevent children from coming to You, You would not stand for it.

Mark 10:14
But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Children are dear to You. You see all that happens to every one of them—no exceptions.

RESPONSE:
So let us beware of mistreating children, these vulnerable beings that are at our mercy! Father, we are thinking with our minds and not with our spirit. Your Word teaches us differently, but we are not listening with our spirits.

REQUESTS:
For those who pray and those who influence:

• Speak into our minds. Calm our thinking that we may be quiet and hear Your voice.
• Open the eyes of our hearts to see with Your eyes and see the needs of these children.
• Speak to our spirits, and give us a spirit of willing obedience.
• Open our ears that we hear these voices and take ownership of the fear and harm that we are bringing on these children.

For the children:

• Father, give them peace of mind in the midst of these circumstances.
• Give them extra patience and may the older ones set a good example with the younger ones.
• For those who work with them, give them reassuring words that are true.
• Strengthen them and help them to be obedient, that it goes well for them.
• Speed the processes that would allow them to be reunited with their parents.

For the mothers and fathers:

• Father, I ask You give these parents constant prayers for their children, prayers that delight You.
• Fill them with Your assurance that You hear their prayers and You are protecting their children.
• May they gather in groups to pray together and petition Your mercy to end this situation.
• Protect these parents from guilt. Help them to hold strong and steady.

For the decision makers:

• Father, give them vision of a better way...one that can be quickly implemented.
• Order the words that can be received and prepare the hearers to receive them.
• Put processes in place to quickly unite parents with children.

READINESS:
Ready us to move quickly on this matter.

• Father, You know chain of command. Establish what is needed to implement the solution.
• Make those in the process swift to respond and effective in their actions.
• Protect the solution to bring the credit to You that we may rejoice in the efficacy of this initiative.

...so that, on this matter, we may be faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

A prayer for President Trump and Congress for immigration and DACA...the prayers of one sinner

***A prayer for President Trump and Congress for immigration and DACA...the prayers of one sinner Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

Mark 12:29-31
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

REVERENCE & RESPONSE
You are the Lord our God. You are One: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
      There is no other. Praise be to Your Name.

You are the One, True, and Living God.
      There is no other. You alone, are worthy to be praised.

I bow down before You, and proclaim Your Righteousness.
      ..for there is no other appropriate response. (Selah)

You are all knowing, all powerful, and omnipresent. You are the solution.
      Where else are there answers? Nowhere...so I come to You.

REQUESTS:

• Only You can see all the complexities involved with our immigration.


• Only through Your wisdom can answers be forthcoming.


• Only in You, can corruption and self-interests be dimmed.


• Only You can see the long-term ramifications on this matter.


• Only You can find answers that are full of compassion for mothers, children, and dreamers.

You and You alone can help us.
There is none other and I ask for Your help.

• You are the God of unity. I ask for Your insights and for unity between President Trump and Congress.


• Only Your Spirit can break through the divisive work of the enemy of Truth and self-interests.


• Only in You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, can unity be found.


• Only You can see the future end of the actions taken now.


• Only You love all the people involved and can bring forth an answer that works for all.

READINESS:
Ready us. Everyone has a part in this. Invigorate our spirits to do our part.

Father, this is bigger than the southern wall. It's about the concept of how we, here in America, will treat our neighbors...all of them.       Help Lord. We cannot do this of our own strength...strengthen us for Your solution.

• Open our eyes to see Your solution, to know it is right, and to move on it.


• Direct our ears to choose wisely what we hear and how we respond.


• Quiet our speech. Silence those who bring roadblocks through their words.


• Invigorate our hearts and our will that we spring into action, annointed by Your Spirit.

REJOICING:
Father, unite us that YOU rejoice in our choices.
May Your pleasure in us, cause great rejoicing within us.

...so that, on this matter, we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

A blessing for Jerusalem... praying God's will, not mine

A blessing for Jerusalem...praying God's will, not mine

Please pray with me.

Heavenly Father,
Your Word:

The Jerusalem prophesy in Jeremiah 3:17
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

You promise in Jeremiah 3:17
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Father, it is Your imperative that we pray according to Your Word...for it shall not return void. I believe it. How do we do this with regard to the U.S.Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? You know O God, the prayers that would move Your heart. That is what we seek—Your Word, Your desire, Your will.

Surely, I want my way, my desires, my idea of the outcome here. And as I see unrest in the Middle East, it is difficult not to want immediate peace. It is difficult not to desire that nothing be done to stir up any additional unrest. Are my desires in alignment with Your will? This is not usually the case. Forgive me. Grant me prayers that align with Your will.

I cannot fathom what it is like to live there. But I believe You are omni-present and that You are there. You are Jehovah Shammah, You are the God who is there. (Ezekiel 48:15) You know every detail of what is happening in and about Jerusalem! Thank You!

There is not one heart that breaks, one soul lost, one life severed from the earth, that You are not aware of. You love them all and desire that all men be saved (1 Timothy 2:4).

I want Your blessing...for me and for the Nation of Israel!
Thank You that You tell me how I can get it!

You promise in Genesis 12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Blessings for Jerusalem:

• Lord God of Heaven,You are righteous and holy! ...Bless Israel and Jerusalem with Your righteousness.

• You are the God of Peace, Jehovah Shalom; Bless her with Your peace.

• Proclaim the joy of her salvation! Be in the hearts and minds of all who look to You.

• You are El Shaddai, All-powerful, all sufficient: Be the sufficiency of Jerusalem in this time of great need.

• You are Jehovah Jireh, The Lord who Provides: Be the provision of every heart in Jerusalem and Israel!

• You are Jehovah Nissi: The Lord our Banner! Hallelujah! May Your banner fly strong over the land, over each city, over each life...and especially over Your Holy City: Jerusalem!

• You are Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our Righteousness. Oh how we need You. Pour out Your Righteousness upon Jerusalem, that she may honor You and bless You and proclaim Your Word.

• Praise be to You, El Roi: The God who sees! You see all, You know what is going on there. Thank You that nothing escapes Your notice. Praise be to the God who knows, who is omniscient. Blessings to You, who sees even the silent tears that fall from every heart.

A Hanukkah blessing for Jerusalem!
Father, Your Word proclaims that You are Light! Is it not Hanukkah? Is it not the time of year when we celebrate Your provision of Light?

1 John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Father - Light up Jerusalem! Light her up with the eternal light of Your provision. Proclaim Your Word over her that she may celebrate as never before. Lift up every heart before Your throne of grace and establish Your presence in Jerusalem that the world may see that You are the one True and Living God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Raise up praise to Your Name, for You promise to inhabit the praises of Your people, Israel!

Psalm 22: 3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Raise us up. That we may be found faithful in the day of His coming. Amen and Amen!

In Jesus' Name

Terror in Las Vegas...the prayers of one sinner

***Prayers following the terror of the Las Vegas shooting ...a call to unity

Verse
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;

Please pray with me:

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
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

...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.

Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,

In Jesus’ Name.

Weather Disasters: a prayer for fast action to help

***Hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding and fires: for fast action to help

1 Timothy 2:1-4
1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Thanksgiving belongs to You. You have grown this great nation from its inception. Thank You. This nation has been a world leader because of Your hand upon us. Thank You. I have lived in this nation and enjoyed freedoms for my entire life, because of your gracious blessings upon us. Again, I give You thanks.

You are a gracious God; slow to anger, and You desire that all men be saved. You are worthy of praise. You summon the wind and the waves and they obey Your voice. You created the sun and moon as a sign. You know every tremor and every earthquake. You know every person who lives and those who have died in the weather events. You know all.

We cannot help but ask, "Where are You?" Yet the question answers itself, because You are omni-present. You are here. You are with the people who are suffering from the damage of these hurricanes. May they cry out to You and find Your grace to help in their time of need.

Father, call Your church here in the U.S. to cry out to You. Wake us up. Let us enter Your gates with thanksgiving. So many people say, "We lost everything by we are grateful that our lives were spared." Be pleased with this set of priority. Father, raise up the church to take action. Already we are back to our lives as usual and we have forgotten those who continue to struggle.

Puerto Rico struggles in desperation. May Your church reach out in prayer and petition You on their behalf. Please sustain these people and help them to hold steady while help is mobilized. Sustain their lives, still their hearts. Give those who are able the ability to form teams to help others. Bind these people, strangers before the storm, to come together to uplift, encourage and sustain each other.

I pray for our leaders, Father. The nation is in disarray and these leaders need Your insight to know how to prioritize their actions. Help to the victims of these hurricanes cannot come fast enough, especially in Puerto Rico. Surround our leaders with solid advice and planning. Bring voice to those plans that can bring the greatest benefit. Father, by Your Holy Spirit, bring new ideas, unique ideas to the people involved so that people quickly receive basic needs.

You clearly tell us that You choose the leaders of every nation to do Your will.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Instill in Your church the understanding that to complain about these our leaders is sin. Instill in us to refrain from words that speak against Your chosen authorities. Let us turn from the temptation and instead choose to please You with prayers for them.

Father, I'm asking for the mobilization of basic life-sustaining needs: food, water, medical attention. Mobilize Your church here in the U.S. to pray for Your supernatural intervention for these people. We need Your help. I petition You to awaken Your church to rise up in prayer before Your throne.

Father, the temptation to go back to our daily lives "as usual" is great. We have become a self-absorbed society. The storms have gone by and with have minimal impact, it is easy to turn our back and resume our lives. May it not be so! Father, this is an opportunity to unify our nation. Raise up a sentiment of humility and before You, a vision within each person to do what they can, and courage to act.

Silence the accusers! Silence the complainers! Father, the media as well as loud-mouthed complainers use these disasters to tear down our leaders and our nation. Let us repent. You have called us to make supplication, prayers and intercessions for all men and for those in authority. We indulge in complaining. Forgive us. Place Your Word in the hearts of Your church that we have the mandate to pray. You tell us: Do everything without complaining or arguing (Philippians 2:14). Raise up a heart to do this.

Father, the enemy infiltrates the media. The people in this industry are being used in every scenario to tear down and cause division. Where is truth? Jesus, You are Truth. This industry proliferates lies and deception. Cause those who will use these disasters to complain and put down our government to be silenced. Raise up those who will report the truth. Trample down the lies that destroy.

Extol Yourself in these times. Have mercy on our nation. We do not deserve it. Yet, You are a gracious God and I ask for Your help in time of dire need.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

Draining the swamp...the prayers of one sinner

*** We have the government we deserve.

1 Timothy 2: 1-2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father, You exhort us to fervently pray, intercede and to give thanks...for kings and those in authority so that we can live peaceably, in godliness and honesty.

This nation is not living peaceably, nor in godliness or honesty...surely, therefore, we must conclude that we have not prayed, interceded, or given thanks for kings and those in authority. So we have the government we deserve. This is a very hard thing to swallow. I am a fault.

I did not pray when prayer was taken from the schools, when abortion was legalized, when family was redefined, or when indiscretion filled the government. I confess, and I repent. I will pray for this nation, its leaders, and those in authority.

Father, this nation has turned from Your ways. It has gone so far that now there is a swamp. We need Your help. You have promised:

“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.”

So I humbly confess sin before You. I ask for prayers for our leaders...from small towns to the Capitol. I am seeking You. I am asking for Your guidance in prayer, that this nation can turn from its ways...so that You may hear, forgive, and heal this land.

We cannot do this without Your help. So I'm asking.

Deception seems rampant. We can't tell truth from fiction. Indiscretion in the socialsphere is rampant, without thoughtful filters. It seems impossible to find truth. Yet, Jesus, You are Truth.

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.

How do we speak You, speak Truth, into this nation? Do we even want to know the truth? ...or do we just want to believe what we want. Father, we have become a self-serving nation. Help Lord! Turn our hearts, soften our resolve and penchant for our own desires.

Father, it has become so incredibly confusing about what can be believed. I ask that Truth rise up. Where can it be found? I ask that, as a nation, we come before Your throne of grace and plead for mercy. I ask that we rise up en masse and seek You, seek Truth, and speak Truth.

I ask that You move in the hearts of Your church. Rile us up. Work within us that we may be disturbed by what we see and hear. May we find our nation unconscionable. May we cease to be silent before You.

Raise up Your church to confess and repent from our silence. Raise up Your church to take a stand for Jesus Christ, first in our own lives, our own prayer closets.

Father, where are the pastors? Where is the church leadership? Many are silent. This should not be. Help us to change. In Your mercy, cause discomfort within us that we might turn from our wicked ways. Teach us our part that we seek and stand for Truth as a nation, once again.

Thank You for this nation. Thank You for the years where You blessed us as the greatest nation in the world. Thank You for the prosperity that You have bountifully poured out. Thank You that we can look back and compare where are now, with where we were when we honored You.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

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.

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.

Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 2

***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,

This nation is so fractured that it is hard to know where to begin praying. We have turned away from Your Word.

You alone hold the future of this nation. You alone know the collective moral compass. You know our collective thoughts and heart of this nation. You know our turnings from Your path of righteousness. You know the thoughts and deviousness of every person in this nation...truly, nothing is hidden from You.

You alone know the danger at our doorstep.

Truly, our heart is egregious before You. We have sinned. We have turned, everyone, to our own hearts' desires. We have created our own gods, followed them and worshiped them. We continue to do so. Have mercy O God.

Pastors, preachers and teachers have, by and large, not called us on our behavior. Those with the courage and unction to do so, have met with great resistance. As a nation, we do not want You. We do not want to hear Your Truth. We want our own way. We have turned our backs and even persecuted those who call us to repent. Have mercy O God.

Your mercy alone has sustained us as every area of our nation has deteriorated. Some believe that You have granted us a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump. I pray this is so for our plight is dire and we refuse to acknowledge that You will not and can not allow us to continue in this manner of abomination.

May these people, called by Mr. Trump, each humble themselves before You. Please open their hearts to see their own sin, that they may fall before Your throne of grace and seek You diligently as the Author of Liberty and Freedom.

They each need wisdom from You and a multitude of wise counsel. Father, we need You to grant us the creativity to find unique solutions. Can we use our resources differently? Wisely? ...only with Your help. Have mercy O God.

May each person carefully assess the disaster that awaits this nation for each decisions they make on their own ability. ...and may each person turn to You and humbly ask for guidance. Open their hearts that they may hear.

Establish in each person a servant's heart. Establish Your Word within them and give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness as the foundation of true service, first to You and then to this nation. Raise up wise counsel for each person; people who are established in Your Word and with a heart to stand before You without shame.

How can we as a nation recapture our identity as "One Nation Under God"? ...what will it take? O God, You took Your people into captivity as a demonstration of Your love and care for them. You did not spare them the cost of their iniquity. And You are the same, yesterday, today and forever. Have mercy O God, that our hearts may be turned 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.

Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 1

***Prayer for the Trump Administration

Romans 6:14
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are holy and Your plan for us will not be thwarted. You are omnipotent—all powerful—and yet You want to hear from us and You attend to our prayers. You allow us to influence You. Thank You.

Yet, You are holy and righteous. And only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, can we approach You and be heard. Thank You for this Provision. Thank You for Your continuous attention. Thank You that You are for us. You want us to succeed.

Our nation is in turmoil. We have enjoyed our freedoms without protecting them and now they have been overtaken by the agendas of those who do not recognize Your supreme authority. Forgive us and call us to repent. We are bombarded by so many distractions that we are grateful for a way to pass on responsibility—especially this responsibility.

We need wisdom to know what is distracting clutter and what to attend to. Father, we have lost touch with what is important. The "urgencies of the moment" in our lives have pushed out what is important. Forgive us and call us to step back. Teach us what is important from Your perspective and show us how to make that urgent. Bless us by making Your agenda our top priorities.

You beckon us to pray for our leaders. We do so here. Please hear our prayer.

Protect Donald Trump and those he is calling to serve in his administration. Surround them, their families, and their businesses by Your heavenly hosts. Protect their hearts and minds from the media and all other distractions that would undermine our nation.

Fill these men and women with Your wisdom: the wisdom that is from above.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Father, this can only happen by Your Spirit.

May these people lead in accountability to You and You alone. Establish their minds and hearts to see that they are a part of a greater plan and purpose. Protect them from arguments, falsehoods, commentary, and attacks from adversaries who would want to sway them for their hidden and not-so-hidden agendas. Protect them especially from the media and public attacks on their character.

Establish in these people, the importance of keeping their minds and hearts pure...from Your perspective. Help them to understand the importance of aligning their thoughts, actions, and motivations, to be in accordance with Your Word - that YOU are then able to protect them as they bring their wisdom and abilities to serve the United States of America.

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

In Jesus’ Name.
