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.

Day
14
Heavenly Father, please awaken and lead our people and our leaders to a
reverent understanding and adherence to Your laws. L-rd, You have written Your
laws on our hearts, and yet we are constantly bombarded with messages that blur
those laws. We ask You to defeat the efforts of those who would attempt to rid
our culture of clarity and adherence to Your laws.
We ask You to lead America's citizens,
the courts, and law schools to the restoration of respect for Your law and the
law of the land. In Yeshua' name, Amen.

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'
name, Amen.

ReplyDeleteFirst, I applaud you for taking the problems in our country to heart and going to God in prayer with them. Prayer is a wonderful gift! Here is a question: Could it be that the very problems you have noticed are part of what Jesus prophesied for the time of the end? (Matthew 24, 1 Tim 3:15) and that the solution isn't the "fixing" of our government but is found in God's kingdom? After all, what was the first thing Jesus taught his followers to pray for in the Lord's prayer? "Let your kingdom come" And Daniel 2:44 tells us that "God WILL set up a kingdom to crush all earthly kingdoms...." Just looking at this from a different perspective, something to think about. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your heart, praying for our country is something that more of us should do! Blessings! Thank you for linking up as well!
ReplyDeleteI believe Christians need to be praying like never before about the upcoming election. It will determine the course of our nation for generations to come. Thank you for this encouraging post.
