 40 Days to Save America

 

Day 11

L-rd G-d, as we humble ourselves in prayer, and seek You and turn from our wicked ways, we thank You for Your promise to hear, to forgive and to heal our land. In the spirit of humility, we ask You to open the hearts of Americans and draw us to seek You and Your purposes above all else. We humbly ask You to remove our fabrications of who You are, and for You to reveal Yourself to us.

Almighty G-d, create in us hearts to please You and bring You honor. We pray that we Americans will honor You in speech, and resist abuses of Your name. In Yeshua' name, Amen.

Prayer for Leaders

"The king's heart is in the hand of the L-rd; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases."  Proverbs 21:1

We ask that You turn their hearts towards You, L-rd. We ask that You soften their hearts, L-rd, to recognize and receive truth. L-rd, we ask that you grant them the understanding and knowledge that come from the fear of You. We ask that you grant them wisdom and discernment, L-rd, and that you make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. L-rd, we ask that you direct their hearts to do Your will. In Yeshua's name, Amen.
