Day 34
We ask, L-rd, for Your divine solutions for America's moral and financial rebirth.
L-rd, we plead for You to lead us to G-dly, inspired and creative solutions for our out–of–control relationship with money and debt. We ask You to restore ethics, morality and fair dealings to business, labor and government.

We pray for those in business, finance, economics and government to recognize and adopt Your principles and priorities, asking that You prosper and give favor to those who do.

We ask You L-rd, to restore us to full adherence to fiscal responsibility in the public and private sectors.
We ask for a system of fair taxes that supports appropriate government services while encouraging economic opportunity. We pray for the rebirth and restoration of free market principles.

We especially ask You to bless believers in the work of their hands. Guard their hearts and minds from greed and allow them favor as they conduct their business.

L-rd, we ask You to cultivate in us an “attitude of gratitude” about provisions of life gained and shared honorably, and give us the strength to resist a culture of materialism and covetousness. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

40 Days to Save America – Day 33






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.

Day 33
Father, we ask for Your help in reclaiming our culture from the strongholds of the enemy, praying for You to strengthen, broaden and deepen the influence of believers on the culture.

We admit to often being discouraged at a growingly irreverent culture that flagrantly abuses Your Holy Name, mocks the Cross, and easily buys into the lies that defy Your natural order. Protect our culture, L-rd, from all attempts to belittle and make fun of Your Gospel and Your people.

We ask You, L-rd, to open greater and greater opportunities for Your Gospel to flow freely across our airwaves. We ask, L-rd, for You to grant Americans the wisdom to discern truth from deception.
We pray for those in the entertainment industry that they may better serve the families of our country by creating programs and movies that are uplifting in nature and extol positive virtues. We especially pray Your blessings upon those in media, entertainment, the arts and journalism who are driven by loyalty to You. We ask for favor and acceptance for their work.

We pray for those who would intend to bring our country down by bringing our culture down. We ask You to foil the plans of those who would bring others down in any form. We ask for Your transforming power in the lives of those who would divide, deceive and destroy.

We pray for Your protection from pornography and the indecency that plagues our communities, harms our families and undermines morality. We pray for an end to the surge of pornography. We ask You to loosen the chains that bind the hearts of so many men, women and young people. We ask You to replace unG-dly desires with a true desire for righteousness and purity. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Pray for those in the path of Hurricane Sandy


As a native Floridian, I' been through many hurricanes, so I've learned to always be prepared.  I know the people in the storm's path are fearful of the unknown.   If you have someone you would like us to pray for by name, please post your prayer request in the comments section below.

Father,  we pray for the people who will be in the path of Hurricane Sandy.  I pray you will help them in their preparations.  I pray you will protect them from harm and destruction of body and property.

Father, I pray for the first responders who will help in the aftermath.  Protect them, and comfort the families they leave behind as they go out to assist others.  I pray for neighbors to help neighbors and pull together for their communities during this stressful time. 

Give them awareness of your presence, even in times like these.  I pray they will be comforted by the Psalm that you gave me when I went through four back-to-back hurricanes in 2004. 

Psalm 91


 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the
L-rd, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My G-d, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the L-rd, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”
