 40 Days to Save America

 

Day 26

Heavenly Father, we ask that You open our eyes to our responsibility as individuals and bodies of believers to minister to those in poverty and distress. Forgive Your followers, L-rd, and deliver us from abdicating our responsibilities to care for the needy.

We ask You to move in our hearts to make us a generous people, not only with our finances, but with our time and our talents. Open our eyes, L-rd, to clearly see honest needs around us, and show us how to serve those needs most effectively.

We pray for authentic, radical Christianity. In Yeshua's 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

L-rd G-d, we ask for Your blessing on the lives of these leaders in our nation:

President Barack Obama	U.S. Representative Candice S. Miller
Vice President Joe Biden	U.S. Representative Gary G. Miller
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton	U.S. Representative George Miller
Attorney General Eric Holder	U.S. Representative Jeff Miller
Chief Justice John Roberts	U.S. Representative Gwen Moore
Justice Samuel Alito	U.S. Representative James P. Moran
Justice Anthony Kennedy	U.S. Representative Mick Mulvaney
Justice Elena Kagan	U.S. Representative Christopher S. Murphy

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg	U.S. Representative Sue Wilkins Myrick
Justice Stephen Breyer	U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler
Justice Antonin Scalia	U.S. Senator Robert Menendez

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.
