How every Christian should pray for President Trump, SCOTUS, Roe v. Wade, LGBTQ, Immigration ...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

Matthew 7:1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

1 Timothy 2:1-2, 4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; ...Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

REVERENCE:
You are God. There is none like You.

Although You and Your Name have been defamed, maligned, and rejected, Your love for us has never wavered.

Even when we have taken Your Name in vain, spoken falsely of You, Your Word, and Your Son, Jesus Christ...You have been patient, gracious, and merciful.

When we redefined the foundational principles that You put in place to protect us, You have remained patient and have not unleashed Your anger and judgement on this nation.

When we instituted laws to legalize the very acts that You have defined as abominable, we, Your Church, has hidden. Yet, You have not abandoned us.

RESPONSE:
Forgive me when I have judged people in my path...exalting myself as "better than they." Forgive me. Forgive us.

Father, forgive me when I have estranged those who are different that I am and held disdain for them in my heart....for this is not Your way. Forgive me. Forgive us.

Father, this nation has indulged the physical blessings and prosperity and denied that it came from You. And then we have turned around and pampered ourselves with lavish gifts as we neglected those in need, ignored their emotional pain, and shunned them when they have called for help. Forgive me. Forgive us.

REQUESTS:
Open my eyes and fill my heart with discernment to see that every person I have judged is someone You value and died for. You love and value them as much as You love and value me.

Help me to humble myself and to seek You on this matter. I ask for ways to attend to their inner cries and emotional and spiritual sufficiency, as well as their physical needs.

Give me courage to reach out in a way that is gentle and loving. Guide me in my behavior so that I may genuinely receive them just as they are... just as You have done to me—time and time again.

Fill me with compassion, words that build trust, and the means to help in meaningful ways. Help me to replicate the love of Jesus Christ to touch these people, whom You love so deeply.

Grant me prayers for our leaders in national, state, and civic government...prayers that bless You and that cause You to help us all align to Your sovereign will.

READINESS:
Build up a courageous spirit within me to reach out. Provide opportunity to serve them as if You were here and serving them. Make me an instrument: Make me an instrument:

Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

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.

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

• 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.

Praying for President Trump and the Middle East

***Praying for President Trump and the Middle East Prophesy....

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Father, Your Word is clear and You have called us to watch for the signs of the times. And You beckon us to pray for the pace of Jerusalem. Events:

• The 70th Anniversary of the Birth of the Nation of Israel.
• The move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem
• Trump to ask Israel to withdraw from 4 east J'lem neighborhoods.
  https://www.jpost.com/printarticle.aspx?id=553491
• The withdrawal from the Iran Deal
• The recent military exchange between Syria and Israel

Your Word:

Zechariah 12:1-3
1The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Reports: Trump will ask Israel to give up 4 east Jerusalem neighborhoods...which would eventually become the place of a Palestinian capital.

REVERENCE:
Father, Your Word is Sure. Your Word does not return void. You will not be thwarted and Your will shall abide and come to pass Thank You Father, that You are not deterred. Thank You that Your love for Jerusalem and Israel abides.

Thank You that Your covenant is sure and unmovable, for You swore by Yourself that these things would come to pass. I thank You that Your love for Jerusalem and Israel has not diminished.

Your Word bids me to beckon You to do what You say You will do. And so I come to Your throne of grace on behalf of President Trump and his role regarding the Peace of Jerusalem.

RESPONSE:
Your Word bids me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

Psalms 122:6-7
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Father, I come on behalf of Israel, Jerusalem, Your people who are the apple of Your eye. I pray for peace. I pray knowing that Your Word tells us that there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes. Yet, I pray. Yeshua, come quickly.

You are the Prince of Peace. Come quickly that there may be peace in Jerusalem. You have prospered them and raised Your testimony to them that Your Covenant to them are established and they will be brought to fruition. Praise be to Your Name, God Most High.

REQUESTS:
Father, I pray that President Trump is not swayed by the allure of making the ultimate deal to bring peace to Jerusalem. May he receive the wisdom from above, and more so, may Mr. Trump have the self-control needed to do Your bidding. Father, I ask that the United States not play a role in the division of Jerusalem.

He has accomplished amazing things and I am grateful. Yet, I cannot dismiss this issue on the division of Jerusalem. Father, Zechariah 12: 1-3 is here. Has it been here before? Will it be here again in the future? I pray the United States will not take part. I ask that You soften the hearts of U.S. decision makers to support Jerusalem and Israel without reservation.

Father, I ask that Your hand of withholding upon Jared Kushner. Has he not been a behind-the-scenes player? May Your wisdom be upon him. May Your compassion and prophetic Words for Israel and Jerusalem be within him. May only truth come forth from his lips.

Father, have mercy upon Jared Kushner. May devious intentions from those with whom he works be evident. Father, may his pride be kept in check, for he is a man and suffers as we all do. Keep his lips from evil and his tongue from speaking guile.

Father, may the U.S. not be part of the division of Your beloved land.

May the U.S. have no presence in putting pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to divide the land. I seek You selfishly on this as I fear for the safety of the United States. Yet, Father, I bid You to fulfill Your will on Your timetable. I bend to Your ways, for they are not my ways.

Father, President Trump has done much for Israel. May he do so honorably, without desiring something back. I ask that his heart be pure before You. Have mercy O Lord. Your Word is sure and I pray Your will. I pray with urgency. Have mercy O Lord.

You know the plans that President Trump has, as well as his Middle East intentions. Grant him (and Jared Kushner) insights on the players in this complex situation. What about President Mahmoud Abbas? He lives. He influences. Father, I bend to Your sovereign purposes. Have mercy O Lord.

READINESS:
Ready us for what is to come. Grant us, Your church, urgency to pray for our leaders as You command us to do. Give us words beyond our imagination to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

What will the withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal begin? Father, You know the ramifications on this action. Thank You that Truth about the deal is surfacing. Fear takes over from the threats from Iran.

Yet, Father, we know that You bring good out of every circumstance to those who love You and have been called according to Your purpose. Grow our love for You. Grow our awareness of Your purposes and invigorate us to move swiftly.

Is the harvest ripe? It must be. Awaken us, Your church O Lord. May we rise up and proclaim that You have redeemed us. May we get involved with the harvest. Equip us completely with the Word, to present and protect our faith.

Equip us with the whole armor that You have provided, that we may stand strong in our commitment, ready with our testimony, and unmoved by the enemy who stands by, ready to steal, kill and destroy.

...and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

A prayer for wisdom in US Foreign Policy: Syria, Russia, Israel, chemical weapons

***A prayer for wisdom in US Foreign Policy: Syria, Russia, Israel, chemical weapons Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

Psalm 2:1-5
1 Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Indeed, O God, the nations rage and I cannot make sense of any of it. But I know that Your purposes will not be thwarted. Your Word will stand and it will not return void. I stand on Your Word, which is forever.

I proclaim that You are my compass. Your Holy Spirit guides me. I claim John 16:13 that the Spirit of truth is come.

I ask this for all Americans, especially those oversees. I ask for truth in the thinking of the leaders of nations, especially:

• President Trump
• President Assad
• President Putin
• Prime Minister Netanyahu
• President Rouhani
• Prime Minister May
• President Macron

You, Lord Jesus Christ are Truth. I seek truth and wisdom on how to pray. I seek Your Truth and wisdom for these men and those that advise them.

You, O God, hardened the heart of Pharaoh and turned him against the Israelites. You, O God, chose Babylon to take Israel captive, that Your purposes would be fulfilled. And You are the same, yesterday, today, and forever. You change not and in You alone I trust.

Please uphold the United States, to be honorable in foreign affairs. May we be honorable to You as You define it. We cannot do this of our own ability, but only by Your Spirit. I ask it.

Are we our brother's keeper? Are those in Syria our brothers?
Father, the complexity of international interactions is more than I can fathom. There is so much information, that I cannot tell what is true and what is not.

Change is happening so fast that I cannot keep up.

There has been so much deception by the media, that I do not know what or whom to trust. Where is truth?

Help Lord. Compel me and Your church to pray.

Call us forth to bring wisdom, self-control and strategic stealth to this situation, to honor You in all that is done.

Protect the innocent
Father, You know the innocent civilians that become "dispensable" as leaders consider their perceived long-term consequences. Protect the innocent. May Your presence be with them, upon them, and in them.

Comfort them, strengthen them, and assure them that You are there. Your faithfulness is sure in all things. May they turn to You and may their faith be strong.

The prophesy of Damascus
Father, as this unfolds, I cannot help but remember this prophesy, which is yet to come:

Isaiah 17:1
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Please help us to be watchful and obedient, and to pray in accordance with Your Word, that our trust in You remains fundamental to our lives.

...and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

Hope instead of shame —loving the USA...prayers of my heart

Hope instead of shame —loving the USA...prayers of my heart

Please pray with me.

Heavenly Father,
I love this nation: The United States of America. The USA, where You have placed me. I am grateful beyond words that I live here and have the freedoms that have blessed this nation. So many people have poured out their very life for the freedoms that I enjoy each day.

You have blessed this nation far more than any other nation on the earth. You have given us a quality of life that exceeds all other nations. I give You thanks.

Yet, we have turned from You. We have enjoyed he bounty of Your gracious favor. You have piled up mountains of blessings upon this nation. You have provided for our physical needs, including healthcare and the technologies that put our nation above every nation.

You have provided a quality of food that is better than all the nations of the earth. You have provided for our intellectual growth and given us education that is the desire of the world. Because of the protection of Your hand, we have enjoyed freedom of speech and the freedom to worship. We worship You openly and without threat of arrest and torment.

Your unceasing blessings have poured out upon this nation for centuries. Thank You.

Yet, in our opulence, stuffing ourselves with the blessings from Your hand and heart, we have turned from You. We have credited ourselves as the author of these blessings. We have forgotten You. We have turned from You. We, Your church, have stood by silently, as the very freedoms You have given us, are, one-by-one, being taken away.

We have watched as the spirit of anti-christ has grown strong. Have mercy and forgive us. Waken Your church to vehemently stand and resist the forces that threaten this nation. Fill Your Church with Your love and compassion. Grant us words that strengthen each other and dissipate the wrath that has grown to openly deny You.

Father, this nation now embraces death through abortion. We call good evil and evil good as Christians are attacked for standing for Your Word. Freedom of speech for Christians is no more. And we are silent.

Cleanse us and raise us up in strength! May we throw off the fear and stand boldly before Your throne of grace to intercede for those who embrace the convenience of abortion and believe they have the right to take the life of an unborn child. Father, I am ashamed that this has gone so far. O God...YOU are our hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.

Father, we have been silent as marriage has been redefined. Even in Your church, we are embracing what You specifically abhor. Call us to prayer. As this nation uses the freewill You gave us, to embrace our fleshly desires...have mercy, O God.

Raise up Your church to pray fervently on behalf of those who have been caught in the lair of the enemy. Let us stand in the gap for this nation, that Your patience not run dry. Fill us with Your Word, and a hunger and thirst to petition You on behalf of those who are used by the enemy to establish evil as good. O God...YOU are our hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.

Draw Your church to be ashamed of our laxness in these matters. Raise up Your Spirit to speak to our spirit that we may cry our before You, ashamed that we have not diligently prayed for this nation as laws have been changed, as You have been pushed out of the way. You are our only hope...for the battle is not against flesh and blood.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 10:11
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Draw us to confess. Bring Your church to confession. Heap upon our minds and hearts, that we have been grievous in our responsibilities. Remind us that we are the ones that can bring change because this is not a battle against flesh and blood. Bring us to confess and repent.

Open our eyes to see the shame that has saturated our culture. Raise up Your Word that we may have hope. Strengthen us, and equip us to be the Light of Jesus Christ in every part of our daily walk. And may our testimony be so inviting that all who would be saved, would come to Salvation.

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

In Jesus' Name

Giving Thanks for and Speaking Well of the USA ...the prayers of one sinner

*** Giving Thanks for and Speaking Well of the USA ...the prayers of one sinner

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You that I live in the United States of America. I thank You for the freedoms that have been so hard won.

Yet, with these freedoms, especially the freedom of speech, we have become a nation of complainers. We have become critical of everything that doesn't fit our narrow view and desires of the moment.

Criticism, especially of the nation and our leaders, has become a way of life. I have done this. Please forgive me. Please forgive us and call us to repent.

Your Word:

Ezekiel 36:3,15
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord God.

When Israel became a nation of negative critcizers, desolation followed. But when they ceased their negative chatter, you caused restoration. Father, we need Your help today, in the USA to join together and put away unkind, unhelpful chatter. Please help me to do this.

Especially since the election of President Trump, this nation has released a torrent of daily, persistent, and judgemental disapproval. It has been directed at President Trump and Republicans or those who oppose him and the Republican party.

We do this as if we are making the world a better place by spewing out this deluge of reactive waste. Please help us. Please open our eyes to see that we are being critical of Your chosen, for Your Word says:

Daniel 2:21
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:

Father, it seems like it is a fight between nationalism and globalism. Yet, nationalism is YOUR idea. We are opposing YOU and we are also disobedient to Your Word which says,

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

This is to our shame. Open our eyes to see this egregious behavior. Call us to confess and repent.

Surely, all this negative talk releases spiritual forces into and onto our nation. We aren't thinking about the result of our actions. We are bringing harm to the USA by our persistent negativity. Please call us to repent.

Father, how much of this is being done by Your church? We seem to be especially good at criticism. We seem to slide into the robe of "I'm holy and righteous because I am critical." We confuse criticism with discernment.

Please call us to repent:

• Our negative talk brings a heavy burden on leaders and law enforcement.
• Our cynical negative attitudes creates an atmosphere of pessimism which is affecting our economy.
• We have created an atmosphere of bitterness, rivalry and hatred that has descended upon this nation.

So much needs to be changed here in the United States. But negativity will not change any of them. Open our hearts to understand Your Word. Call Your church to counter this road to destruction and become part of the solution.

Help us turn from negativity and arrogance and learn that speaking well is to be realistic with regard to our safety, our economy and well being. Call Your church to be salt. Call this nation again to be light.

Call us all to Christ, that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
