That our leaders would be prepared to give and account to Almighty God

***That our leaders would be prepared to give an account to Almighty God

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your Word that so clearly outlines that our days are numbered. We know this from history. Our bodies will all die. Yet, Your Word also indicates that we are more than just our body; we are soul and spirit as well.

1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You tell us that after our body dies, we will be held accountable to You, our Maker. How can we ever stand before Your as we are? We are all sinners. Of our own accord, we cannot possibly justify ourselves, our actions, our thoughts.

Father, leaders have a particularly difficult time. They are in the spotlight. Their decisions are often public. The ramifications of their actions affect those they lead and oftentimes, for years to come. They need Your help. They need insight. They need to hold dear and close, that they will stand before You.

Yet, You did not leave leaders without guidance. They do not have to make decisions alone. You have given us wise counsel, and You have offered Your wisdom, if we will ask.

Proverbs 24:6
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.

James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Father, help us to ask. Give our leaders and insatiable desire to seek You and ask for wisdom in the decisions that they make. Give them an ear to clearly hear Your voice. Touch their mind so that their hearing can lead to understanding. And grant them strength to follow through, that they may stand blamelessly before You.

Truly, we are all sinners. So there is no way we that any of us can stand blameless before You at the time of our judgement. But You have made a way. You have given us Jesus Christ, Who has died for our sins and and offered salvation to each of us, if we will admit our sin to You and receive Your Gift. How can our leaders lead, without access to Your wisdom? How can they access Your wisdom without first admitting their need?

Father, cherish our leaders. Give them questions to ask You! Give them wise counsel. Grant them discernment to choose wisely. Compel them to read Your Word, to find relationship with You and to seek You so that they may lead in such a way that they are ready to give account at the time of their judgement.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For those in business: to cherish honesty, integrity, and loyalty, No. 2

***That those in business would cherish honesty, integrity, and loyalty.

Psalm 26
1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 in whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You alone define honesty, integrity, and loyalty. Thank You. You have established these standards to guide us in our thinking and in our lives. You have published these standards so that we are protected and can live free from psychological, emotional and physical harm. Thank You. Finally, You have made all of this available to us through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us, that we may have strength and power to live as You have designed. You are gracious, merciful, loving, and Your care of us extends our comprehension. Thank You.

Father, leadership is so important. As leaders lead, so goes the country. In the US, integrity seems to have gone by the wayside. Where is it? Those who walk in integrity as You define it are now viewed as the enemy of justice. Help Lord! Raise up those who trust in You and strengthen us that we not slide. Help us to see the value of aligning our businesses with Your values, Your standards, and Your oversight for every part of what we do and who we are.

Businesses, at every level - Business to Consumer, Business to Business seem to exercise poor quality and insist on finding ways not to act with accountability. At every step, the focus seems to have turned to "get the money" and without any intention of delivering the value that was promised. Many (most?) businesses have lost a desire for honor and integrity in business transactions. Forgive us. Convict us. Lead us.

Father, we have turned away from You as a nation. Forgive us. Our business transactions no longer reflect the standards You have put in place for our safety. Forgive us. Accountability in business transactions seems rare and the path to hold people accountable is so onerous that it seems impossible to navigate without making it a full-time occupation. Forgive us. Have mercy on us, and turn us from our errant ways.

Have You kept back those business owners and business leaders who walk in Your truth? Please gather them together to stand strong and encourage and strengthen each other that they not walk in the company of those that refuse Your guidance. Father, it is so easy to see how others manage their business and determine that because, "Everyone is doing it that way...." that it is right. That the way of the majority makes right. Forgive us. Open our eyes and hearts to seek Your way.

Prosper those businesses that seek You. Prosper them with loyal customers who speak their virtue to everyone they know. As we manage customer dissatisfaction, may the Light of Christ come through and be so remarkable and impressive, that testimony is established and Christ is served with excellence.

Guide, call, pull all business owners that know You to dedicate themselves and their businesses to serve You and to serve every customer as they would serve Jesus Christ Himself. Excite and ignite us to do this thing as an alternative to others. May our businesses be so successful that others desire You, seek You, find You, and establish their lives and businesses to serve Jesus Christ.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For the US, Leaders, and those in authority, No. 3

***That the body of Christ in America would fervently pray for our nation and its leaders.

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,
Grant us prayers for this nation. Prayers that would move Your heart. Mercy Lord. Have mercy on us for we are a rebellious nation that has turned from You with great vehemence.

Thank You that we have tasted freedom. Forgive us that we have not protected it and now our freedoms are at risk. Thank You for the bounty that You have blessed this nation with—agriculture, ingenuity, technology, a strong armed forces, and a spirit of productivity.

Forgive us for not valuing and protecting these blessings. We have used our freedoms to protect those that hate You and who hate everything associated with You. We have elected leaders and officials who hate You and those who serve You. Forgive us for not praying for them. Show us the path to repentance and to You be the glory.

Father, we are now a fractured nation. Division reigns. Our culture is fractured and fear has permeated communications between citizens and authority. Our police forces are fearful as colleagues are killed. Black people are fearful as they are gunned down without reason. The list goes on and on...

So many people are fearful of their future. Young adults do not see a pathway to earn a living. So many people have lost their jobs, their savings, their homes and their hope for a future. Yet our leaders tell us that everything is moving in the right direction and we are fine. Leadership has deteriorated and those in authority use manipulative fear to justify using force.

Father, upgird us! Raise up Your army of prayer warriors. Suit us up for battle! Armor on! Hearts and minds quiet. Let us hear from Your Spirit to pray for this nation! Pour out Your Spirit upon us, upon churches that we would repent on our knees and plead the cause of this nation, its leaders, and those in authority. Fire us up! Encourage us. Show us how to encourage each other.

Raise up new leaders, fire up those who are in position now to speak truth. Give those who would hear a heart to listen. Open up communications that this nation can return to the greatness YOU bestowed upon us if we will repent and return to You. Please give us a humble spirit to seek You and once again worship You and You alone.

Humble us. Humble our leaders. Humble those in authority. Open our minds and hearts to take careful inventory of our past and to see when we were "one nation under God" and the changes that have led us to this place. Show us how that, step by step, we have turned from You and melt our hearts to return to You.

Only Your Holy Spirit can open our eyes to see this thing. I plead this cause. Help us turn from our ways. Help us to see the wickedness of our ways and also see that You have been the source of Truth and source of our prosperity. Help Lord!

Father, again, humble those in authority. Out of fear they have taken up arms and vehemently seek to take away our right to protect ourselves. Raise us up to speak the peace of the Prince of Peace: Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our leaders and those in authority have forgotten that they serve You. They have forgotten that they are the ambassadors that are in Your service to protect and govern. Humble them. Humble them. Humble them that they may see that You are the One True and Living God.

Our government has become fat. It has expanded to become powerful and it no longer serves the people, but exists to become more and more powerful and reign over us. Smite it down!

Raise up leaders who will serve through the truths and guidelines that You have given us. Smite down those leaders who are power-hungry, self-serving, and who have formed alliances to crush this nation. Smite them down!

We need You. We have gone the way of rebellion.
We need You. We have lost our way.
We need You. We have lost our freedoms.
We need You. Our leaders seek their own desires.

You are our only hope. Melt our hearts.
You are our only hope. Strengthen our will to return to You.
You are our only hope. Raise up Your Word that it be spoken in humility.
You are our only hope. Raise up leaders who serve you and recognize that YOU are Authority...and our only Hope.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

Our Judges, Ten Commandments, Teachings of Christ, No. 2

***That our judges would value and regard the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ.

Psalm 19:7-11
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Becuse of Your love, the Love of Jesus Christ, because Your Holy Spirit is within, we have hope. We are sinners, all of us, and evil seems to prevail all around us. Yet You have given us guidance! We are not without hope. We have Your Word on how we shall live and Your Spirit to lead, guide, and strengthen us. Hallelujah!

Your law is perfect. Help each American to cherish it deeply, that every soul be converted. Enliven us to demonstrate the love of Christ, that others may desire to be converted as well.

Your testimony is sure. Help Lord, that we seek out Your testimony. Open our eyes that we not miss Your work—either in our own hearts, or in our nation. Open our hearts that we desire to join You in the work that You are doing in our lives, our neighborhoods, and our nation. Show us how to receive the work of the Holy Spirit that we may be strengthened to complete each day, living completely for You.

Show us how to avail ourselves for Your work. Teach us to put Your work ahead of our own.

You make wise the simple. Father, please open our eyes to see the simple. You have not hidden Your work from us. You have not made it difficult nor have You concealed Your path. Your wisdom is available for the asking. Grant us an insatiable curiosity to seek Your wisdom and to find it in the simple.

Surely, Your creation reveals that You are God and that You are the Creator. Help us seek You out in hope, knowing that You desire to give us wisdom that we may thrive.

Hear this prayer for the United States and our Judges. Father, as we have abandoned Your Word—may our judges not do so. May they see their wisdom fall short. May they look back through their work and realize that the wisdom of man leads to destruction.

Every day, as judges and justices read and hear the news, may they realize their own impotence. May they see their inability to do their jobs and live their lives effectively. May we all realize our impotence as we move on our own wisdom and strength. May it not be enough. Grant us a hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Your directions about relationships and behavior is clear. You have given them for our protection, and yet we go our own ways. Convict us, convict our judges to see Truth: the Ten Commandments, and to seek out the teachings of Christ. Jesus Christ—You are Truth. You are the Way, and You are Life. Father, in Your mercy, may we find our way back to You. Have mercy O God of justice.

You are to be desired than all the wealth of the world. Truly, Your Word, Your way, Your justice, Your righteousness, Your holiness, Your purity...give us a desire for these. May the American people, and especially our judges see the filth and disgust that comes from our own wisdom. Lead us to deeply repent of following our own ways and to seek You as we see the results of our sinful choices.

Give us a dream, a vision, a desire for something better! May we desire Your wisdom and judgement that is better than fine gold and sweeter than honey.

May all Americans, and those in our judicial system be warned and hear Your forewarning, that Your commandments and the teachings of Christ are for us. They are there to keep us safe. May we seek the reward that You have stored for us, that we may be re-stored.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For God-fearing, Accountable Leaders of Action, No. 2

***That our leaders would be god-fearing and recognize that they are accountable to Him for each decision and act.

Proverbs 9:10
10“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are gracious and slow to anger. Thank You. You grant us free-will and even though we repeatedly ignore Your admonishment to follow Your ways, You continue to love us. You continue to be patient. Thank You. Individuals in positions of leadership, around the globe, choose the path to power and influence at any cost. Hatred of those who follow Your ways is on the rise and they leave death, destruction and fear in their wake. They are intentional in their methodology to destroy the fact that You are the One True and Living God.

Father, disobedience to You is now embraced. Those that desire this disobedience do so with great fervor and their expressions are now open, public, and commonplace. The movement has grown so quickly and effectively that those who follow Your ways have openly become the enemy and the target.

No longer are these rebellious souls asking to be welcomed,they are asking that those who follow you be silenced and exterminated. Help Lord! Father, this movement has permeated every crevice of the global society. Every area where You have given us guidelines of behavior, there is a movement to silence You and those who follow You.

Have mercy on us and on them. Their scope exceeds our imagination as they call for the destruction of marriage and sexual conduct, prayer and any reference that is specifically to You, Jews and Christians at large, common decency and self-control in dress, speech, and expression of thought. Truly, we seem to reflect the time of Noah with a desire for self-fulfillment. Truly, their leaders have become effective at every level of society.

But You have not left us defenseless! You have given us the weaponry to fight these trends which are quickly multiplying in every area of our lives:

2 Corinthians 10:4-5:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Turn us to the weaponry that YOU have provided. Teach us how to use these weapons. Let us first learn these weapons in our own hearts and minds. Give us a desire to become a leader for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Grant us an unquenchable desire for purity and holiness as You define it. Strengthen us to focus on our spiritual health and fitness that we can become effective soldiers for Christ.

Then, Father, with the armor You have provided, teach us to wield it. Give us an ear to clearly hear Your Holy Spirit and hearts that follow without hesitation. Help us to embrace Your Word - the Sword of the Spirit and do so in ways that cause others to drop what they are doing and follow Jesus.

Immerse us in Your love and give us the expressions of Your love for others, that Your message not be diluted or compromised. May the joy of being in Christ and His work on the cross for us, be so remarkable that we are seen as leaders and can lead others to find You through Christ.

May those You have called be the new leadership. May we take our place to complete the work You have assigned us in the spiritual realm. Shield us from discouragement. May leaders across the globe have eyes to see Truth and courage to follow.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For Churches in America to become Light-houses for Christ

***That churches in America would fulfill their purpose as light-houses for Christ.

Mark 9:50
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You that we are Your church and that You have paid for us to belong to You. Thank You. You have trusted us to be Your voice, to be Your presence here in the Unites States and abroad. You have blessed us with every conceivable blessing: protection, wealth, freedom and so much more. Thank You.

Father, we have abused Your gifts, carrying our freedom to serve our whims and imaginations. We have taken Your wealth (for it all belongs to You), and we have made it our own. We have become consumers, chasing after every desire. We have become gluttons with insatiable appetites, while many around us are hungry, thirsty, without shelter or clothes, without hope. Forgive us for not abiding by Your Word, and for not using what You have given us to help those in need, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Many churches in the U.S. are changing. The government sees us as a threat rather than an asset. People who go their own way see churches as a hindrance to reaching their desires to indulge themselves sexually, morally, ethically, in our business transactions, and in our daily lives. Churches are being squeezed to conform. Businesses are being threatened to do adapt. As people we are pressed to affirm behavior that is abhorrent to You.

We need Your help. Our Churches are losing the Light of Christ. We are losing the our nerve and strength to preach Christ crucified for our sin. As a nation, and in our churches, we have lost touch with sin as You define it. We have become complacent and comfortable with our sin. We have become comfortable with separation from You. Forgive us and have mercy.

Grant us a new hunger and thirst for You, for Your Word, for righteousness. Awaken our hearts anew to seek Your presence. Build up churches with new conviction. Give us an insatiable appetite for renewed relationship with You and a desire to seek Your favor. Establish churches again, as the foundation in their communities as lighthouses. Set them up again, as beacons of the community and a place where people gather, worship and give thanks.

Father, raise up prayer warriors within each church to pray for their pastors and leadership. Raise up those who would teach the Gospel as teachers. Raise up armies of outreach—lighthouses into the communities through programs that minister to the needs. Help churches to win hearts and minds around them. Make each church so essential that people's hearts are turned and they return to You.

Establish local missionary outreaches. The needs are so great: we have people on our streets who are homeless, hungry and thirsty, and no means to change their situation. Help Lord! Help churches to see the need and bring what will help as a demonstration of the Gospel of Christ. Help each person to give sacrificially.

May these light-houses be established and may they join together to demonstrate Christ's sacrifice. Open hearts both within and without the Church and bring a return to our mission. Grant pastors a heart to search You and within themselves to identify and receive Your identity within each church and to bring that vision to their (Your) churches.

We need You. Help us to diligently and urgently search You on behalf of our nation through our churches.

In Jesus’ Name.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For traditional families, No. 2

***That traditional families would be valued and protected by all authorities in this nation.

1 Tim 3:12
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Our nation, the USA, seems to be on a downward moral spiral, with people determined to despise everything that You stand for. Forgive us and provoke us to repentance. We have certainly come to the place where we call evil good, and good evil.

We have taken You and Your Word down as the standard of excellence. We have despised Your purity and Your righteousness. We ignore the clear guidance and warnings from Your Word on critical moral issues, especially regarding our sexual conduct. Forgive us and call us to repentance. I have not prayed consistently and diligently for this nation on this matter. I have looked away. Now the movement is barreling down the path of destruction through a remarkably organized media campaign to stamp out marriage and family as defined by Your Word. Forgive me. Forgive us.

Hold strong those families that regard Your guidance on this matter. Raise them up, and their children, in every place that they go, as desirable. Open the hearts and minds of those who question the integrity of Your direction, to see a foundation of long-lasting value. Raise up families as examples and may those who are confused desire the kind of love, closeness, and care that they see in the traditional families.

May the children of traditional families, now adults, compare the two lifestyles and with wisdom from Your Holy Spirit, value the tradition that You have put in place. May they desire and return to this standard.

Father, we are at the place where there are now generations of non-traditional families. There are many who have never experienced the standard that You have put in place. There is hatred towards You that has been multiplied and passed on through young generations. Many teach this hatred to those around them and require that their views be affirmed as well as tolerated. We are now on the defensive. Forgive us.

Fill us with a love and care for those that rebel against You, especially on this matter of marriage. We need a deluge of prayer for those in our reach, that they might embrace the genuine, unrestrained, and sacrificial love that You have demonstrated on their behalf. Show us how to be a demonstration of that sacrificial love. We really need insight here.

You admonish us in Your Word, that if our enemy smite us on one cheek, we should offer our other. If they demand our cloak, we should allow them to take our coat.

Luke 6:29
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

You ask us specifically not to take offense and to sacrifice for them...as You have sacrificed for our sins. Show us where the opportunities are and give us a desire to not be offended. Help us be obedient to this command and do so with a heart that is undeniable to those who are watching. May we bring such love that hearts are stirred and rebelliousness is broken.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

For our American Youth, No. 2

***That American Youth would respect authority and practice accountability.

1 Tim 4:12
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are the Most High God. Thank You for Your graciousness and praise be to Jesus Christ, Your Son, who has secured salvation for all who will accept. All of the earth testifies that You are the Creator; that You are true; that You are patient, kind, and also a God of justice and righteousness. All the earth proclaims Your glory. Open our eyes to the comprehensive scope of who You are to us, that we may humbly fall on our knees and worship. You are worthy of worship.

There is enormous pressure on our American youth. They deal with great consternation and begin their adulthood with many years of constant messaging against their success. The weight is unimaginable. There are the messages of climate change and the doom of global warming; of our unimaginable national debt; of our broken political system and healthcare system. Father, they see a culture that is fractured in so many dimensions. The internet has given them access to so much information and news of the moment. Truly it is overwhelming to us all.

How are they to cope? Many are glued to their technology. What do they seek? Hope? Community? Belonging? Voice? Significance? Answers? You? We pray for them.

I ask You to cause mentors to rise up for them; men and women of Your Word. Bring in an army! Raise up an army of people with a heart for our youth! People who know how to listen. Men and women who will listen and hear! Mentors who are credible to our youth. Give our youth a discernment to choose wisely when deciding on their influencers. Give them a reasonability to think about their future.

Father, there are no answers without You. Their world cannot make sense without You. Their paths are all filled with the outpouring of this world and our sin. Cause us to repent. We have set their stage with our sin. Yes. My sin has contributed to the pressures that they face. Help me to repent. Forgive me and help me to take responsibility for my actions.

Raise up encouragers! Help me to be part of this army of people who listen to our youth, who have a heart for them and who can encourage them. Grant us credibility in their eyes when we discuss Your Word and the direction that they can find there. As they realize that they cannot fix what is going on here, may they seek You diligently for the path that will lead them t honorability when they stand before You.

Reveal Yourself to them in unique ways and raise up evangelists among them. Give them words that bring comfort, hope, and courage. Give our youth purpose as defined by a life lived for Christ! May it be their joy to proclaim the Gospel to their peers. Give them many organized networks of prayer warriors, evangelists, teachers, and caregivers. Father, cause them to establish an integrated network of communities that staunchly follow and proclaim Christ. Grant them malleable hearts that are Your delight.

Father, may our Youth find examples of accountability and see the wisdom. So much of our culture encourages them to do whatever they want and do so with consequences. Yet, You are going to hold us accountable. Reveal this to them and give them a heart to staunchly establish their path to follow the ethical and moral guidelines You have given us in Your Word, for our protection.

Authority is a tough thing here. Father, those in authority have not acted with credibility. Instead, many "leaders" have led our youth down the path of destruction and called it acceptable. The media has relentlessly told them that the outright rebellion of all that You have established—is better. Truly, good is evil and evil is good.

Isaiah 5

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Raise up leaders for them and from them. Help our youth to choose wisely whom they will follow. Clear out the muck and mire that has been laid before them and show them the bridge of Jesus Christ to know You, live for You, commune with You and live their lives in fullness ...because of Jesus' work on the cross. May this reality be their commitment and their Truth. May they never waver or question it in their heart.

In Jesus’ Name.

Judges and Supreme Court Justices, No. 2

***That our judges and Supreme Court justices would adjudicate with godly wisdom.

Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Our Supreme Court has been crippled by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. His death has tipped the scales with regard to the opinions and decisions y the team of men and women who are charged with decisions that have the power to completely change the tenor of the United States. These men and women need Your help. They need Your guidance. Please insight an army of prayer warriors to pray for them, for their souls when they stand before Christ, and for them to have a heart to restore our land to a god-fearing, god-honoring "one nation under God."

Truly, we, as a nation have turned from You and towards our own ways. The decisions of the Supreme Court seems awash with the trends of the day that they receive from the pressures of society. That is not their job! Help them to focus on their job to interpret cases as defined by the Constitution. Instill in each one of them a love for and appreciation of the original intent of the Constitution that this land honor You and honor Your Word. Yes, Father, I am asking that You give them a new heart and a new spirit within them.

Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Surely, our nation is at a crossroads. As these men and women define the law of our land, the laws are shifting to protect every possible whim and imagination. We are set on doing what we want. We are set on pushing the gamut of activities that Your Word clearly tells us is against our best interest, our health, our well-being. Father, this seems to be done at the expense of Your church and Your children, who are now targeted as enemies of society. Father, it seems that Your church is dormant, silent, cowering in the corner, and in some cases, we have become reprobate.

The judges throughout the U.S. are making decisions daily that change lives, families, and communities. Guide them in their decisions. Give them a clear vision of how their decisions will affect the long-term as well as the immediate future of those who stand before them.

May our judges and Supreme Court Justices truly seek justice. May they come to terms and embrace that YOU are the true Giver of justice and only source for true justice. As we long for our own way, may these people who lead our nations in these decisions prepare themselves to stand before You. May they devote themselves to learning and understanding justice as You define it. May every one of them, bow their knee at Throne of Grace and before Jesus Christ and submit themselves, their lives, and the decisions that they make to please You. In doing so, may they protect the U.S.

This cannot happen without Your intervention in their lives. So please, Lord God of Justice, please intervene in their lives. Change their hearts and give them a heart to please You, live for You and deliver decisions that align with Your Justice.

Raise up supporters who will cover them and their families in prayer. Help Lord. We need You. Cause revival to break out that our land may be saved. Raise up Your church from our dormant state and may we take a stand and speak the Truth in ways that can be heard and received. Place words in our hearts, minds, and mouth that we may shed our fears and speak the words that align with Your will for us.

In Jesus’ Name.

For schools and universities to teach truth

*** That the schools and universities would work to reverse the trends of humanism and teach truth.

Leviticus 10:10-11
10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are holy, pure, and timeless. And Your wisdom is true, just, and beyond time. Your guidance is sure and Your concern is for us. You are omniscient. You are all knowledge, and you are wisdom. You alone know the full application of wisdom to knowledge. Today I beseech You for this purpose for our nation.

You are Truth.

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Father, we have defined Your truth. We have substituted our truth for Yours. We have veered away from Your Word. Forgive us. Our schools and universities have been bullied into embracing humanism...and we have let it happen. Forgive us. You, and You alone define Truth. You are Truth.

We have elevated our human truth: Humanism. As a nation, we have made it our god. Our pride has replaced the wisdom that You have made available to us. Forgive us. Have mercy. Open our eyes and hearts that we may see Your Truth - which is omniscient. Give us hearts to receive Your wisdom that we may repent of our feeble and prideful standards, which mock You.

Father, we need Your intervention to reverse the trend of humanism. We can not do this on our own. Our churches, our pastors, our schools, our very homes have been infiltrated. Unless You help us, we cannot do this. Help Lord. Have mercy on us. Our sin is great....but Jesus.

Jesus, You died that we might have Life. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Thank You that you have not left us without direction. Holy Spirit, open our eyes to see Truth. Open our hearts and prompt us to action.

Father, we tremble before the humanists. We cower. We need Your words to speak to them. We need Your love to embrace us that our words may be heard. We need Your action plan. Raise up an army of warriors to pray this cause before Your throne of grace. Truly, our nation has entered a phase of persecution for those who speak out against humanism. We are now called the haters...forgive us for not being on guard and fighting this over he past years.

Show us our part to reverse this blight on our nation. Give us actions and words to reverse the humanism in our schools, universities and in our land. From the smallest kindergarten to the top universities, may the Truth of Jesus Christ reign again. This seems so impossible. Our nation has sunk to such lows that this seems out of reach.

Yet You encourage us:

Luke 1:37
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

Embed this in our hearts. Steel our focus and our resolve that You can do this. Show us the path of faith and belief. Bring us prayers that will move You and cause reform in our land. May our prayers be Your delight. May our hearts engage with You and be Your treasures. May we hound You, day and night on this matter, that You would help us return this nation to One Nation Under God.

Hear my prayer, in Jesus’ Name.
