Please pray with me:
Precious Heavenly Father,
We give you all honor, all praise and all of our love this day, for you have given us another day. Your Spirit has taught us how to love you with all of our heart, our mind, our soul and our strength. We thank you for hearing our prayers, for your continual mercy and great love. Oh Father it is not in us to understand all your ways, for your word says:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Is. 55:8-9
We are your people, who are called Children of God. We are so blessed. We were bought with a price. Your Son Jesus. Right now, your church repents: Forgive our apathy. Forgive our Laodicean ways. Forgive us for limiting Your Holy Spirit in our lives. Forgive us for whispering and talking against other members and other ministries. Forgive us for all gossip. Forgive us our lack of love and faith. Forgive us for thinking like the old man instead of the new man. Forgive us for hanging onto the ways of the world and not being focused on things above. Forgive us for not having a private time to listen to your word and hear what your Spirit is saying and pray for others. Forgive us for nurturing the flesh instead of the spirit. Forgive us for our impatient ways and not thinking how you are working upon our behalf. Forgive us for our lack of boldness. Forgive us for not being gentle, loving, kind yet firm. Forgive our unruly tongues, for you told us that he who guards his tongue protects his life. Forgive us for not speaking up in your name. Forgive us for not scattering seed when a door opens. Forgive us for moving in worldly fleshly fear instead of love and faith. Forgive us our every hinderance that grows into a division in our nation. Forgive us for not standing upon the truth. Forgive us for allowing abortions, for allowing prayer to come out of our schools, for your word not being taught. For not teaching our children the truth. For not training our children to fear you. For believing the worlds wisdom over yours. For holding un-forgiveness in our hearts and we let it all go once and for all! Forgive us for any idleness, laziness, assuming things, for gluttony, for even making excuses, for not having enough humbleness, for lacking the faith we need, not being good examples, for depending upon the worlds way rather than your way. For depending on what man says, over your spirit and your word. You give us grace when we humble ourselves and we let go of any self-importance.
“If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among my people, and if my people who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek [crave, require as a necessity] My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. 2Ch. 7:14
Does God do things like that? Yes, He still does. He knows what it takes to bring a nation back to Him.
Right now, we choose to humble ourselves, under your mighty hand. We choose to repent like that of Job who repented in dust and ashes. We choose to repent of our obvious sins, but also those that we are not aware of, our blind sins and we do this in faith.
We ask for a humbling where we need it in your church, a purging, a sifting and we ask that you would send a spirit of repentance inside of your flock across our county, across our towns, cities and our nation. Give us what we need Father and the ability and your strength to go through it. Your word is faithful, for you said that judgement must first come to the house of God. You correct us because you love us. Your son is coming back for a unified church. Help us Father to be unified. We ask that your Holy Spirit would go after those who have turned their backs upon you and bring them back to your truth. Bring modesty and respect back to the church, bring good training towards our children to respect and love you, their parents and others. Bring modesty back and that they would know right from wrong, in dress, in speaking and behaviors.
We put all of our trust in You oh Father. We come together in your son’s name.
“Again I say to you, that if two [a]believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.” Mt. 18:19-20 amp.
“This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that [a]if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.” 1John 5:14 amp
We ask that you would dismantle and render helpless all those who come against your truth, all the accusers in high places in their positions, shut their mouths of all authority. We ask that you would bring down all the liars in journalism, close all doors that was once opened and open their eyes that they would see the depth of their sins, like you once awakened us. We ask they would all be replaced by godly people. We ask that your truth would reign upon our land. We ask that this would be a solid sheep nation. We ask you would replace all ungodly teachers in this nation with your godly servants. We ask that you would bring all those who harm your children and your babies connected with abortions and sex trafficking be completely cast down and be immobilized and unable to move, do away with all planned parenthood centers and replace them with places of prayer and love for you. Father, our nation was founded upon your principles, upon your word and your ways. Forgive us Father for giving into unbelief, twisted and perverted thinking, power, fear, bribes, blackmail, greed, perversion, idolatries, worldly wisdom, witchcraft, compromising ways, excuses, lies and we plead with you to bring this nation back to you. Bring honor back to you, bring a fearless, bold love back to you and to your church and we ask that You and your word would be first and foremost in all hearts. Oh Father we depend upon your Holy Spirit to rescue our nation and set us all upon your rock once again. In Jesus we ask amen.
