The wicked shall not prevail (Psalm 49)

Hear ye, hear ye.
Listen, all people on the earth!

A call to all, low or high, rich or poor. You are called this day.
Hear the wisdom from on high. Hear the wisdom of the Lord. Listen to gain understanding.

God, Almighty God is speaking to you. Hear to the sound of music.

Why should there be fear in the days that bring trouble?
Why should there be fear when evil surrounds us?
Evil comes from those who rely on their wealth and boast about how rich they are... does it frighten you?

Can anyone redeem his brother or pay a ransom to God for his life?
No.
For the price is too high.
There is no way for you to cause your brother to live on eternally.

Judgement comes. Many will see the pit.

Their riches are nothing. They cannot buy life. They have their schemes and have convinced themselves that they are gods. They can bring forth life. Their schemes are falsehoods. They are deluded with lies and they proclaim themselves gods based on lies from the pit of hell.

They have partnered with the Father of Lies, Satan. They worship him without knowing. For he has convinced them to do his evil work and they have given their hearts over to evil.

They think their wealth makes them powerful, and that they have power over life; but their lives will be called in due time. They will not escape the judgement to which all men are called.

Truly, their corrupt estates will be dust and blown away by a slight wisp of wind. They are the manner of the foolish. Their time is limited. They are destined for Sh'ol, where they will waste away. They will have no dwelling, but their agony shall never cease.

Those who have been redeemed by Messiah will be received into heaven.

Don't be afraid of the rich and wealthy. They can't take it with him. They may seem happy in their control, but it is fleeting. He will join his ancestors and never see the light again.

They fail to grasp that, like animals, they will die. They will not be "Humans 2.0." Their delusion only distracts them from truth.

Take heart. Our God is the One True God. He redeems those in Christ Jesus: Yeshua Hamashiach. Praise His Name. In Him is salvation. Stand strong and proclaim His redemptive work on the cross... He did it for you. Embrace His love for you and receive your salvation today.

Maranatha!

My help in time of trouble (Psalm 46)

O God who is faithful,

I come and petition You. The land has turned against You. People seek every possible way to refute Your power. All the day long they inspire each other to find ways to torment those of us who honore You.

But You are our refuge and strength. You are an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore I am unafraid. I need not fear. If they have their way, the earth will give way and the mountains will tumble. They are haughty and believe they have complete control. Yet You are omnipotent. They do not consider this because they cannot acknowledge Your existence. But their ignorance does not change the facts.

Nothing is outside of Your purview. Nothing is beyond Your power. THe mountains my tumble into the sea, and waters may rage and foam. The mountains may shake - but it is all at Your Word and Your desire.

THere is a river whose streams gladden the city of God. Oh how I look forward to being there... Your holy habitation.

You are in the city. It will not be moved. You are its help and salvation.

Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms are moved. Your voice thunders forth and Your earth melts away.

You are with us. You are our fortres You are God. Let all the earth keep silence.

COME...see the works of our God...the God of Heaven and Earth. See the astounding creation of the One True and Living God! Behold the earth and all that is therein. Rehearse all that He has done, His many astounding deeds.

Do you not believe - COME and see. The ends of the earth obey His voice. All things are under His feet. He is supreme over the nations and over the earth.

I will not let my heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. God is with me and for me. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Maranatha!

Maranatha! The Marriage Supper Awaits (Psalm 45)

Lord of Lords, and King of Kings,

Here is a proclamation of Your Marriage...yes? A foretaste of what a man could imagine.

Lord, You ARE the most handsome of men, though I have never seen You. Your beauty transcends my imagination. Your voice is gracious to me and Your blessings are unceasing. Worship is the only response I can imagine.

Your sword is at the ready and proclaims Your splendor and majesty. You are Truth. Your splendor supercedes the imagination of mere mortals.

Your meekness, mildness, gentleness magnify Your righteousness which covers those who believe. Your right hand teaches those who follow. Your arrows comfort and protect us. No one is outside Your awareness. No one hides their deeds, for You look deep into the thoughts and hearts of all men.

Your throne is forever and You rule with equity. Your love of righteousness and hatred of wickedness brings peace to Your kingdom. You are the Son of David, You are the annointed One, You are Messiah.

You stand ready, awaiting the Father's nod to call us to Yourself. Maranatha.

Bring out the instruments! Tune the voice of the throngs....hearts make ready and don the wedding garb, for the King is coming. Yes, He is coming for His own.

Maranatha!

God is faithful (Psalm 44)

God of Heaven and Earth, Creator, Savior, our help in time of need.

Hear my feeble prayer.

In times past, You have heard our cries and come to our aid. You established this nation and protected us for the testimony we could have as "One Nation Under God." History told the story of Your grace and mercy on us.

The health and prosperity of this nation was not from our own hands. Our might did not bring us victory, but it was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your face. We prospered because of Your favor.

Through You, or foes were pushed away, through Your Name our assailants were ovecome. It was You, all along, who saved us from our adversaries and You put to shame those who hate us.

Thanks be to Your Name forever and ever.

Yet, now, by our own desires, we have been thruse aside and we are disgraced among the nations. We have run from our enemies and hide and grovel at their beck and call. We are like sheep to be eaten and scattered.

We are not worth a pittance and we do not give You the glory for all that is from Your hand. We have scorned You and now we are scorned. We are mocked by our neighbors because we have mocked You time and again.

We are disgraced. Shame covers us. Have we forgotten You. I have not fogotten. Others bow before Your throne. They have not forgotten You. Our hearts continue to turn towards You O God and we have not bent our hearts to foreign gods. You know.

Wak up, O God who brought us forth. Wake up and do not turn Your back on us forever. Again turn Your face towards us. We see the irreverence this land has for Youa dn Your Word. But You are a God of mercy. Have mercy on us once again.

Come and help us!
For the sake of Your grace!, redeem us!

Maranatha!

Plea for mercy from a faithless nation (Psalm 43)

O God, my God,

You are the eternal Judge. Your judgements are sure and trustworthy. Plead my cause against a godless and faithless nation.

Those who trust in You are become the targets of those who have seized control. You choose the leaders of a nation. Is our current leader Your judgement against the United States...which is no longer united?

They emand that we be silenced. It is not us they detest, but You. Defamation, jeering, rebellious slander are their daily offering. I plead our case before Your throne of grace.

• You are the God who strengthens; do not thrust us aside.
• Protect us from the pressure of the enemy that we may hold strong.
• Send Your light to shine brightly within us.
• You are Truth...pour out Your Truth upon us and through us.
• Guide us, O God of our salvation, that others may see Truth and find Your salvation to make it their own.

God of our salvation, have mercy on those who defy You. Aren't they tools of Your enemy? So many have been duped. They are being used to fight the battle against Truth, against You.

Rist up O God of Truth. Lead us to Your Holy mountain. Establish us before Your throne thatothers, who have been deceived, may see Truth, repent, and find life from You, the Giver of Life.

You are our joy and delight. You are the Way. Strengthen us to follow You. Open our ears to hear Your Word. Open our eyes to see the Way and walk in it. O God, my God, have pity on this nation and raise it up in the fulness of Your Light.

Raise up praise and glory to Yourself for the work You have performed. Use us, those whom You strengthen to serve and provlaim Your faithfulness. Set a song in our hearts and grant us an audience to proclaim that You are the only One True and Living God.

I put my hope in You alone and I will praise You through each day, for You are my Savior and my God.

Maranatha!

Longing for God. Has He forsaken us? (Psalm 42)

O God, my God,
Hear me when I call.

As the deer longs for te running streams, my soul longs for You.
I am thirsty for You. I am thirsty for the living God! When can I come and appear before You?

My tears fall witout ceasing. Day and night they are my food. People ask me, "Where are You? ...Where is the God you tell us about? ... He has surely abandoned you?"

My soul wells up from deep within me...when I could go to the house of the Lord, with sounds of joy in my heart; praying freely and proclaiming Your Name. With many others, we came and gave praise to te God of our salvation, to the God who blessed us, year in and year out.

Together we observed holy-days together and in Your Nae. We did not nbeed to cover our faith for fear from the crowds.

O my soul; why are you downcast? Why do you groan from within? My hope is with God and I will praise Him evermore. I will not hold back my praise, for He is my life and my salvation.

O God of Life, when I am downcast, I remind myself of You and Your faithfulness through the years. You have preserved me without fail. From the darkest night, You have lifted me out of the darkness and set me on the Rock, in the Light.

Deep calls to deep. The colossal waves surge against me. The works of evil threaten me day and night.

But You command Your grace to surround me. In the night Your song is with me. It rises up from within and brings praise and glory to the God who is Salvation.

Yet, the pressure from the enemy is great. Why must I go about mourning? Have You forgotten me?

The adversaty taunts me. I feel as if my bones are crushed to powder. I can no longer stand on my own. All day long they jibe me asking, "Where is your God?"

O my soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning yet from deep within me?

My hope is in God. I will praise him again and again. Forever will I lift up praise to te God of my Salvation, for He is my faithful Savior and my God.

Amen.

Maranatha

A prayer when oppressed (Psalm 41)

Blessed are those who care for the poor! They are His hand, here on the earth.

• Jesus, You tell us that we will always have the poor. This blessing is always available. But our heart? Do we do it for the blessing or because You ahve placed in us a heart of compassion?

Calamity will come, but the Lord will save.
You keep them in the land and bless them.
You sustain them when they are sick and they recover.
You do not hand them over to the whims of their enemies.

When I was sick, I called out to Yoy, for I had sinned.
You had pity on me. You forgaive my sin and cleansed me.

My enemies say the worst and jope that when I die, my name will disappear. When they come to me, they speak deceitfully and make up evil stories about me. They spread reports full of lies.

All who hate us gather together and spread lies. They hope the worst for me. Those whom I ministered to have turned against me.

But You, O Lord, have pity on me. You are full of mercy and graceiousness. You put me back on my feet. Because of You, my enemy will not defeat me. You uphold me, because I am innocent and You establish me in Your presence forever.

Blessed is Your Name O God. From eternity past to eternity future. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Maranatha

Jeremiah prayers —for the USA ...No. 8

***How long O Lord? ...what would delight You each day in this nation?

Jeremiah 18:8
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Please pray with me:

Father,
How long has it been? Decades? ...and this nation continues along our path of evil ways.

We are so different from China. Their evil came from leadership. Their oppression came from the top down. Where does ours come from here in the U.S.? It seems to come from within. Prayer gone from our schools. We taught entire generations NOT to pray. Forgive us.

The people from China are oppressed and North Korea as well. Here in the U.S., the people oppress each other, fighting for their own evil ways to meet their current agenda. Father, every generation seems to push the gamut. We have embraced evil and outwardly defied You. Forgive us.

How does a people shift in their thinking? Have the shepherds, the pastors, pastored? Have the teachers taught comfort? Has the prosperity gospel turned us to our own evil desires?

Is it even possible to repent? HELP LORD!

Have there been great revivals under these circumstances? Can they begin here? How? Surely, You would not leave the harvest...for it is Your will that all men be saved.

Ignite leaders who would teach and lead in repentance. Create an army of stealth warriors, to support these leaders.

Father, what would delight You each day in this nation? How can I help?

You beckoned Jeremiah NOT to pray for Your people. What about the U.S.? We repeatedly turn to our evil and throw it in Your face. Our intentions have become an abomination.

Save those who serve You.
Enable us to preach the Gospel.
If You cannot relent, then activate us, that we serve You and have no regrets.

Have we heard Your warning?
I trust that it is so ...
     or perhaps many who heard it, have covered their ears
     ...and the ears of others.

Help Lord. Save us. Save me, Save the U.S.
...that You may again delight in us.

Up gird us to endure faithfully to the end. Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

***Is this nation now a parched place in the wilderness?
Is it now uninhabitable?

Jeremiah 17:10
I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Please pray with me:

Father, You search our hearts. You test our minds and You know all there is about us. How can we do other than stand in fear?

What do You see when You test our minds? What is it like for You to search the hearts of this nation? When You test our minds, how do we respond?

Surely it must grieve You. Father, Our nation...are we now reprobate in our thinking? We despise what You love: righteousness. We deem ourselves able to establish righteousness and we execute our judgement, instead of Yours.

We pronounce our wisdom to be greater than Yours. We raise ourselves and our discernment to be righteousness.

We engage in every folly and we stand back in joyful pride. We, as a nation, have declared ourselves god. How can we, as a nation, repent? Is it possible? You know, O God.

You give every person according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. ...What is our fruit, O Lord? What have we done?

Surely the ways of this nation have become wicked and the fruit of our doings are full of blaspheme and all that You abhor. Is there to be a harvest here? ...or must this nation burn?

Your people wait on You, O Lord —do not tarry. Have mercy on us. Give us Your heart for those who serve You. Encamp around us that we may keep our hearts and minds aligned with Your will.

O Holy Spirit, cause the Light of Christ to shine bright to all who would see and desire. May we be impermeable testimonies of Your Truth, Your love and Your care. Embrace us with Your presence and comfort us as we see the vileness of this land.

Hold our testimonies of Christ strong and fill our mouth with life-giving words for those who might hear and turn to You.

Up gird us to endure faithfully to the end. Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

***Is this nation now a parched place in the wilderness? Is it now uninhabitable?

Jeremiah 17:5-8
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Is this nation now a parched place in the wilderness? Has this land become uninhabitable? Are our eyes and hearts so distorted that we cannot see when good comes?

How can we turn to trust in You? Surely those of us of faith, have not protected our land. Wh have not prayed for those in authority. Do we even know how to repent? Father, do as You will, that we may know that You are the Lord God.

What must happen that we become like a tree planted by the waters? How do we become a nation, whose hope is the Lord?

Have our roots rotted away? How can they again spread out to receive the living water? Must we fear the heat? Do we even know how to do so?

Sculpt us, O God, to again be like this green tree that trusts in You and does not fear the drought ...because our roots grow deep in You.

Must we endure persecution to grow deep roots? If persecution comes, will it help us to once again bear good fruit? Do I dare ask You to send destruction —to grow us as tress? I appeal 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.

***Do we, as a nation value deception over truth? Are we led by the media, choosing to believe the deception of evil?

Jeremiah 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father, You are the God of righteousness, of purity, of holiness. You are the One True God, who knows the hearts of men, yes, even the thoughts and intentions in our minds and hearts. Nothing is hidden from You. You have created us and know even the very hairs of our head. Truly, nothing is beyond Your understanding and knowledge.

You, O God, search our heart. There are so many among us who are determined to promote their agendas. There is, indeed, intense wickedness in this land. You know the collective consciousness of the USA. Have we chosen a seared conscience? Is there any way back? Is there a way for this nation to return to You? Father, I am afraid for the United States. Have mercy.

You are truth, and You hate lies. The men and woman in our national media, promote deception and have made a movement promoting their own agenda. There is no truth in them as they wield their power against authority. Are they seditious traitors to this land? You know O Lord.

Your Word tells us that You choose the kings of a nation:

Daniel 2:21
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

The adamant division in this land is poignant. It seems that hatred rumbles just below the present. Father, we MUST believe Your Word. You have chosen our leadership and You command us to pray for those in authority. May Your church rise up and commit ourselves to praying before Your throne of grace both day and night.

Father, what are the underlying forces that push against this nation to take it from our roots of trusting in You? Surely, they are in control of the media and have great power. They are saturated in deception and promote lies. They wield power and are resolute on pushing their agenda that loves what You hate and hates what You love. Truly, only through Your hand, can they be stopped. Speak the Word and it shall be done.

Do we, as a nation value deception over truth? Are we led by the media, rather than truth?

Rise up, O God of glory and of might. Rise up and save us. Cause those who hate You to be caught in their own nets. Expose the deception of the wicked and expose their wickedness to the public. Raise up the hearts and minds of Your own, to seek You, day and night, and pour out our hearts. God have mercy.

May we repent with a contrite heart and humble ourselves before You, that we may again be pleasing in Your sight.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

***Do we glory in our wisdom? Our power? Our riches? Our knowledge? Nay...let us glory in knowing God!

Jeremiah 15:19-21
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

God of Heaven, gracious, glorious and ever-faithful. You have embedded purpose in each day that includes all those who call You Abba through the Name of Jesus Christ. You are the God who transforms our thinking and make us givers. You give us all that we have.

Transform our lives to be life-speakers. Fill us with kindness, transform us, strip us of ourselves. Give us a thick skin —that offense falls quickly to the ground before it can mature.

Jesus, who bore my sin, my sin —be my cover. Give me eyes to see deeply .You looked deeply into me and found the value that You planted therein. You dusted it, cleaned it, restored it, that something in me would fellowship with You and serve You. You are my joy. I come.

Make me a life-listener, hearer and speaker. Take my heart and give me eyes to see deeply. You are life. Speak life through me. You are hope. Speak hope through me. You are help. Help me to help.

I can do none of this on my own, please shine through me. Live in me; cleanse me of me and use me for Your purpose.

You are my safety and in You I rejoice. To You I look for every need.

If You are with the United States, we will prevail. I look to You alone for help. For You will deliver us from wickedness and redeem us from the grip of the terrible.

Jeremiah 16:5
Father, is this nation too far gone? Have You taken away Your lovingkindness and mercy from this land? Is there no hope?

Jeremiah 16:11
We have walked afer other gods and served them, and worshipped them. We have followed after the dictates of our own hearts.

We have done worse —each generation in forsaking the laws which You gave us —that we might prosper. Indeed, we have made our prosperity to be our own, forsaking You. Have mercy.

Jeremiah 16:12
We follow the dictates of our own heart _ filled with evil and we choose not to listen to You. Have mercy.

How can You look at us? We have denied Your prosperity. We do not deserve Your goodness. We are at Your mercy and we are so blinded by our pride that we do not even know it.

Jeremiah 16:17
You O Lord God see all our iniquity, You see our very evil thoughts. Nothing is hidden from You.

If you repay double fro our sin, will any of us stand?

We have defiled the land and we have filled every corner with our idols. Our consumption is so thick that idols lay in heaps around us. Indeed we have so many idols that we send our consumption to the trash heap. And we do not repent.

Truly, our eyes and our hearts are set to defy You.

Rebellion is rampant and even our leaders, past and present, join in the frolic and celebrate folly.

We rebel against Your chosen. We will not listen. Rebellion has set deeply within us as we seek to feed our endless lusts. Truly our gaze is fixed on evil.

We have chosen that which is detestable, and indulge in every abomination. O Father, we are intentional in choosing those idols which destroy Your inheritance. We strive to protect our desires to hurt You, mock You, and tempt Your hand.

Truly, we are a detestable people. Have mercy.

Oh Lord, my strength and fortress. My refuge in the day of affliction. Surely our fathers have inherited lies. Worthless and unprofitable things. We have turned from You and made gods for ourselves —gods that are false gods.

Cause us to know Your hand and Your might. Cause to Know that Your Name is the LORD.

May we repent with a contrite heart and humble ourselves before You, that we may again be pleasing in Your sight.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

***Do we glory in our wisdom? Our power? Our riches? Our knowledge? Nay...let us glory in knowing God!

Jeremiah 9:23-26
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are the One true and living God who knows us, sees, us, attends to us, and cares fro us. Your care has been superlative and You have prospered the United States. Our freedoms have come from You. Thank You.

Father, we have become wise in our own minds. We have used the wisdom You gave us and we have gloried in it. Now we have moved so far away from You as a nation, that we have become unrecognizable. We have used our riches to feed our every desire. We have become addicted to our need to consume. Have mercy.

Our desires have become addictions and we have nurtured habits of consumption. We have become so comfortable with our habits, that we have shut You out—that we might call our new society "good." We have left Your definitions and redefined our culture to fulfill our selfish desires.

We have redefined marriage and now we are redefining gender. We have made it to be whatever we want it to be. And we demand that the nation —as a whole —saffirm and assimilate into this man-made model that blatantly defies Your Word and the parameters of safety that You have ordained. Have mercy on us.

Father, we believe that the earth is ours. Forgive our folly. We have taken ownership and have even fancied that we understand the universe. We have gloried in our knowledge and abilities and used our creations to proclaim ourselves wise. Have mercy.

What is left for us to take from You? ...as if we could.

Please put a stop to our folly. Let us glory in returning to You. Change our desires, transform our thinking to seek You and to humble ourselves before You.

Your church has been silent. We have stood by and watched as the enemy has plundered our nation and stolen it, ravaged the poor, and destroyed the essential faith that has brought us the prosperity we have abused. Forgive us.

May we repent with a contrite heart and humble ourselves before You, that we may again be pleasing in Your sight.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

***Were we ashamed? Will we walk? Will we hearken?

Jeremiah 6:15-19
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are the One True and Living God. Your righteousness and purity is beyond our comprehension. You call us to be like You and You have provided the way, through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, that we can come before You.

You have provided for us that our future be secured from separation from You. Father, You always provide...if we are willing. You always provide...when we do our part. You have been clear about the conditions of Your blessings and You have not been unreasonable. On the contrary, You invite, You implore, You plead with us to follow Your ways, that we may be safe and secured.

You have clearly spelled out the abominations that You detest. And clearly, we have not listened. We have continued in our ways and fed our desires. Truly, as a nation, we have killed the unborn and we have paid for those overseas to do the same. Forgive us.

Our current administration is taking steps to withdraw from this practice. Our current administration promises a SCOTUS that will uphold and value life. Have mercy O Lord.

May millions rise up and support this direction. You saw the March for Life! People overtly supporting this movement and standing against those who believe that abortion is a part of "womens' health."

Touch the hearts of many to rise up in support of Your directives. May we no longer strike and murder the unborn. Move in the hearts of newly pregnant mothers, those that support them, and raise up the army of women who have had abortions to join together to stop the carnage. Have mercy, O God, have mercy.

Strengthen us that this practice be eradicated from our thinking.

Open our hearts that we may be ashamed. Ashamed of what we have done, what we have supported, and ashamed that we have allowed this practice to continue while enjoying the bounty of Your blessings.

Marriage has been redefined. Father, we think we are so smart that we don't need You and we don't need Your direction. We have become proud. We don't want the "old paths" ...we want the new. We want what we want and we proclaim it to be good. Forgive us.

You have pleaded with us to seek Your ways and find rest for our souls. But we would not listen. Forgive us.

Many of us, who seek You, have turned away and said nothing. We enjoy our stuff. We have amused ourselves as our nation has gone the way of Your warning, while we turned away and refused to act, to engage, to love those who have turned away.

Father, Your church has disengaged from our nation for so long, that many young adults do not even remember any teaching about You. Forgive us and help us return to our first love—and proclaim it.

We have not watched. We have not hearkened to the sound of the trumpet. You set watchmen over us, and they spoke in vain for we would not listen.

The enemy has gained strength. The enemy has used our own to fight against us.

The opposition is now organized, funded, and powerful. And they are our children and our grandchildren—who have been captured by the enemy and are now used for his purpose. They are human shields against the enemy of Jesus Christ.

We are dismayed. May we repent. May we stand before Your throne and repent of our shame and petition You on behalf of these who have been taken captive.

Fill us with Your words that would turn their hearts back to You. May we again become actively engaged in this battle, standing before Your throne, worshiping in spirit and in truth, and speaking in love as Your Spirit gives us utterance.

May we once again hearken to Your Word. May we no longer reject You and may we embrace Your path with contrite hearts.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

Jeremiah prayers —for the USA ...No. 1

***Can I contend with horses? ...a call to repentance ..No. 1

Jeremiah 12:5
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

MONDAY:
Do the footmen weary me?
Can I contend with horses? If I am wearied in the land of peace, how shall I fare in battle?

There are a multitude of thoughts that pelt me. Teach me, O Lord. Have mercy on me and upgird my mind.

I claim 2 Timothy 1:7. I claim the power and love from You and I reject fear that comes against me. Teach me to serve You and stir up the gifts from Your Spirit. Teach me and remove the fear and reactions in me that thwart the testimony for Christ. Teach me fervent obedience to You.

Pluck out the evil that prevails in this land. Would it not be Your mercy? Open our eyes, our ears — may we hear the call to battle and respond.

Are there 10 righteous? Have mercy O God.

Eyes that do not see —or do they not look? Ears that do not or will not hear the call to arms. Father, I am no better. Forgive me. Upgird me to repent.

Awaken us — may Christ be served.

TUESDAY:
(My mind is in high drive. Thoughts without consequence. Help Lord. You ask me to do things that make no sense. I understand that they don't have to. But I wonder if I'm hearing Your voice. Am I doing Your work at the right time, in the right manner, and with the right heart? Being with a lot of people is hard. I struggle to manage the mental traffic that follows. Please help me.)

This nation has been a spiritual deaf-mute. We have not listened when we have heard. We have not acted. Forgive us. Teach us to pray for this nation.

(Please transform my thinking to manage all the stuff of my day and to handle the time-outs to be a fruitful joy with You. ...may I be found faithful.)

WEDNESDAY:
God of heaven, LORD of all the earth. You, who formed me —who formed the world where I live —You who created beauty that cannot be seen —justice that can not be embraced, —righteousness that cannot be touched, justice that cannot be embraced, —purity so great, that I cannot even contemplate it in my mind. ... You, who can be everything and yet You evaporate into nothing.

Have mercy on us —You have made us, created us, to be both finite in our bodies and infinite in our soul, You have embedded this understanding in us, yet we primarily look for significance in the physical. Forgive us. Lead us.

THUSDAY:
How do we give You the glory every day? (May I not cause You to weep —ever.) You see all that we do you see all that we think and You know our sin. You are not glorified in our nation anymore. Further, many work hard each day to remove everything that represent Your part of the success this nation has enjoyed.

They hate You. And Your church seems impotent to stand. We have grown fat and lethargic. Forgive us. We have not prayed; we have not sought You. We have not protected our freedoms to worship and to speak freely about the Gospel of Christ. Forgive us.

You are the everlasting God; You are the only hope for this nation.

Have mercy, O God and move our hearts to repent. May we all feel the shame of our deeds. Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Later:
We are bereft —your church —bereft of water: Your Holy Spirit —our eyesight is dimmed. Gone. Are we ashamed? Awaken us. Have mercy.

Our iniquity testifies against us. Our sin pronounces our wickedness and we have become comfortable with it.

You are our Hope —do it for Your Names' sake. Our backsliding establishes our guilt. You are our Savior in time of trouble. By our own hands, our own words, we are in trouble. Have mercy O LORD. O Hope of Israel — be our hope. God of Creation —recreate our hearts. Holy Spirit —convict us that we may repent. Crush us with knowledge of our sin.

Surely You have been made a stranger in this land. This should not be. We have evicted You from among us and we welcome all that hates You. Yet You, O Lord are in our midst And we are called by Your Name... Do not leave us.

FRIDAY (Inauguration Day)
Perfect God over all the earth. Teach me Your way for this day, this season, this life.

If you are in my midst, I take my safety in You. You are omnipresent...You are here.

Father, this nation loves to wander, and we go where ever our feet desire. We have put no restraints on our desires, nor any boundaries.

Is not Your Word clear? It is clear O LORD. Is Your care for us defined? And have You clearly articulated the places we should not go?

Your word is clear. Your care is defined and You have clearly articulated he boundaries of our safety. But we have ignored Your warnings. We have gone our own way.

Our gluttony of everything has become our god. We have gorged ourselves with out self-importance, with satisfying our appetites for food, stuff, sex, entertainment. We have fed our eyes, our ears, our bodies with every sensation imaginable. We have shunned Your Word. We have worked with diligence to remove every evidence of You from our sight, our day, our existence.

When we could not run from You, When we could not hide from Your existence, we waged war against You and openly performed every abomination to spite You.

SAVE US —LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

Your church protects our comfort —as if we have a right to comfort because we associate ourselves with Your Son, Jesus Christ. We have become myopic in our daily lives —giving only as far as our comfort. Our comfort has been our god. We protect our comforts.

As we have seen the pain around the world, as media has allowed us to peer into the lives of other nations, and our own, Father, we have been eye-witnesses to:

• Severe hardship
• The sword, pestilence and famine.... And we have given paltry donations. We have given only what would not disturb our comfort.
• We give a little bit, and wash our hands. We turn away, uttering our paltry prayer under our breath..."Lord, be with them."

Forgive us O God, for our sin is great. We have run from You. We fight You and our desires. We run from one desire to another, plundering as we go.

Our sin is so great. Please settle us. Take us into the quiet, where we cannot escape from You. Ope our eyes to see how far we have gone from Your loving kindness. Exhaust us from our comfort binging. We have gorged ourselves to the point that we cannot think. We have become so addicted that we can only look for the next thing to satisfy our addiction-for-the-next-thing.

Exhaust us O God. In Your mercy - exhaust us. See us —in our stupor —please do not turn from us. Open our eyes that we might see our deplorable condition and cower in embarrassment before You.

Waken Your church from our stupor. Waken pastors —upset us —may our pain be great. May it be unmanageable... that we may turn from our pride, our arrogance, our comfort —and come humbly before You.

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

In Jesus’ Name.
