Prayer for SCOTUS and for national security

*** For godly direction in our future, and for national security that is uncompromised

2 Chronicles 19:6-7
And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

For the future of this nation, we appeal to You with regard to our SCOTUS and the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.

Who is this man? We cannot know. Truly, he may not know himself, but You know him. We hear words, we heat the recommendations, we hear snippets of his past and read bits and pieces, however, YOU alone know comprehensively who this man is. So we appeal to You alone.

Father, who are his influencers? Who are the people who cause him to think differently? Does he have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ? Is he YOUR choice for this position?

How does Mr. Gorsuch's faith become active and is Your Word a barometer as he wades through the massive quantity of information that must be digested when making a decision?

This person will decide cases that will impact the future of our nation. How does Neil Gorsuch rely on nature's laws when he determines the use of precendent when he is "on the bench?" You know.

Reveal these things during these confirmation hearings and may ALL who vote be savvy listeners to hear between the words.

You are not bound by time and You live as much in the future as the past and present. You know these things. I ask for guidance as the choice for the person to fill this position plays out. You put people in places of authority. If this is Your choice, may the process be released. If he is not Your choice, Father, reveal to us where there are concerns and issues and cause truth to be brought into the light.

Father, I ask that whoever is confirmed, that his or her relationship with You be an intimate, daily sacrifice and that Your Word is sought as precious. Help these proceedings to establish a person of prayer, of insight, of clear articulation and of a winsome personality. May the choice here unify our politicians in some remarkable and unexpected manner.

Prayer commentary on Gorsuch Statement from David Kubal,
President and CEO of Intercessors for America (6:03)

Father, this whole matter about the wiretapping is disconcerting. How can this nation function, if security is breached? You are Truth. You, who know the hearts of men and look deeper than the outer coverings of words and visual pleasings...You O God, know Truth. Yes, You are Truth.

Luke 12:2
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Our nation struggles to recognize truth. The media distractions and the divisions amongst us raise barrages of messaging that pelts and clouds our thinking. Where can we put our trust, except in You. Giver ear to this prayer O God of Heaven. You are Truth.

Father, there is foul play in our government. Though the media raises all kinds of havoc, clashing their cymbals, and raising defiance without thought, care, or intelligent argument —we know that foul play regarding our national security carefully and strategically makes its way into our government offices.

You promise there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed. Father cause the foul play to be brought into the light. There are facts that are indisputable: That conversations were recorded in Trump Tower and released through the Washington Post and other sources.

Cause the FOIA request through Judicial Watch to be granted. Cause the truth to be released in a timely fashion. ...and may Truth be shouted from the mountaintops. May Truth descend on our media and crush their insistence on creating disunity. Give this nation an unsatisfiable appetite for Truth. May we seek it out and treasure it. May we establish ourselves in Truth.

Father, help us to secure our nation through Truth. You are Truth.

Prayer commentary on wiretaps from David Kubal,
President and CEO of Intercessors for America (5:18) Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen.

***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.

***What is important to You? What do You see in my day?

Heavenly Father,
What is important to You today? There's a lot of busy-ness in my day ...and people. Thank You. I see meetings, service delivery, income opportunities today and in the future.

M____ intimidates me a bit. N_____ does too.

Are these little intimidations preventing me from moving? Sometimes it seems I am just plain lazy. Would You help me with it?

The heart is deceitful above all things...Father, what do You see in my day?

Is my heart desperate? ...and deceitfully wicked? ...if I saw this wickedness in my heart, would I even be able to look at myself?

Oh Father, What did You see in me...before Jesus? What do You see now?

Who can know it? Only You.

If I ask You for Your heart and to love others as You love —is the cost the same as what Jesus paid? Am I asking to sacrifice my life for others —even those who don't like or want me? ...or for people who disdain me? Could I even do such a thing?

Your heart. Your love.
The cost - Your life.

I offer a meager, "Thank You."

How can I give You my life? You love me —it is easy to give You my life —because You first loved me.

How did You do it? ...how did You love those who hate You? Sacrificing for them as well? How do I honor You? How do I demonstrate Your love for me —to others.

Who can know it? You can.
You can know it.

I ask it.

Help me, that I may stand strong and that I 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 I trust You for my provision?

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this day and for Your Word. Thank You for Your provision that meets all my needs.

Father, I put my trust in You. Forgive me when I have put my faith in people. Only You are my strength.

Protect my heart that it not depart from You —or even waver, or consider any other options. For You alone are my strength and my salvation.

Open my eyes to see Your goodness. Let me not be decieved by the temptations of my heart or the world.

Lead me to the green pastures that I may rest beside the still waters.

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

***How do I proclaim Christ?

Heavenly Father,
Please touch me, that my whole self discerns what is presented by the media. Cause me to know the truth. You are Truth. Touch me, that I may love what You love and hate what You hate.

How do I proclaim Christ? How do I demonstrate Christ crucified?

You are transforming my thinking —I give You thanks. Transform my actions too. Help me, touch me, teach me, that my stamina, energy, and drive are restored.

Help me to understand cause and effect of what I read and see —that my life may tirelessly serve You. I need Your help with my thoughts, actions, words ...even when I am at rest.

***Where does my soul find rest? Are You my heart's desire?

Heavenly Father,
In You does my soul find rest. In You alone can my heart say, "Peace, be still."

You are my heart's desire....but is this true? Help me learn. Teach me to keep my focus on Jesus!

You are the Lord of ALL; of music and sound. You are my God and my sole purpose is to honor You and delight You and delight in You.

You, O God, direct my steps for each day. I think about whether I have given ALL to You. Please show me and lead me to hold tight to our relationship above all else. Show me and teach me to hold tight to all that You ask me to steward, with the understanding that it is still Yours. Please guide me.

Have I been honorable to You in my spending? Am I honorable to You as I wait for You? Have I been honorable to You in how I spend my time? Grant me a spirit of diligence.

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

***Where do I put my trust?

Colossians 1:16-17
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Heavenly Father,
You are Jehovah Jireh —the God who provides. You are El Roi —the God who sees.

See me. See all of me. Bring into the light all that is in me that cannot serve You. I need You in my thinking. I need You in my motivation. Teach me my part to ensure that my thoughts and emotions are led by Your Holy Spirit. I so need You. I need Your guidance. I am unable to do this for myself.

You are Light; You are the Father of Lights.

Where do I put my trust? Search me, Father, and reveal to me, if I have put my trust in others or in other things. Forgive me if I have done so. Do I trust in other people? In institutions? My church? My friends? Have I put my trust in "things"...without acknowledging You? Forgive me.

I trust the very chair where I sit...to hold me up. Yet, it is truly You who are upholding my chair and You uphold me every moment.

Teach me to enjoy You and Your provision each day. Open my eyes to see the little things that You do and delight me with them...that I enjoy You and Your provision ...and that You are blessed by our communion, our fellowship, and by my life.

Lead me and guide me for Your purposes. Please keep me diligent, and may my spirit, heart, body, mind and words eagerly embrace what You have for me. Hallelujah!

In Jesus’ Name, Help me, that I may stand strong and that I 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.
