Tonight at sundown, we'll be celebrating the holiday of joy - Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles.  I'll post photos of our celebration tomorrow.  Until then, enjoy this post from last year, to learn about Sukkot

40 Days to Save America – Day 3



For 40 Days (September 28 - November 6), I will be posting prayers for our country.  These prayers are from the prayer initiative 40 Days to Save America.  
I pray you will join me in this prayer effort.  
You may sign up to have these prayers mailed directly to you at this link:

Day 3
Father G-D, we bow before You in sheer awe of Your power and glory! We offer You endless thanksgiving for Your Son,  Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus) and His finished work on the Cross, for Your Holy Resurrected Spirit Who indwells us...the earnest Deposit, who never leaves us or forsakes us! Hallelujah!
Father G-D, we advance humbly to Your throne of grace to obtain mercy for our once-great nation, and to cry out for forgiveness of the collective sins committed against You!

Rivers of tears stream from Your servants as we seek Your intervention in our nation's looming demise. Save America for the sake of the children of the righteous... that it might be rebuilt upon the Sure Foundation! Save it that Your Glory might be made manifest here again!

As much as we know how, Father, we offer You back all the love within us and we honor You with every good thing You have placed in us, as we worship You in Spirit and in Truth. In Yeshua's Name we ask and believe, Amen.

Day 2
Almighty G-d, Master of all...we bow down before You with a broken heart. We have let Your good instruction slip from our lips. We have allowed Your words to be closed in public. We have chosen entertainment and lies over truth. Forgive Your people. We are but weak flesh in need of Your guidance to direct our paths. Let us not be given over to the destroyer of our Judeo-Christian foundations and of our beautiful nation once blessed by You. Free us from his grip of deception and lies. Cause Your people to want to know You and desire righteousness. To You alone, we pray for Your ear to incline toward us and heal our land. Amen
