Our National Day of Prayer. I hope you’ll join me in praying for our country, and our state, our cities and for peace.
Our most gracious and Holy God, we honor and glorify You today on this, our 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫.
May we always be mindful that You are the Creator and our Father God. You identify each of us as Your children who are called by Your name. You equip us with purpose and courage, and You love each individual beyond measure.
We are grateful for this nation where You have blessed us with liberties and freedoms designed and established by our founding fathers. Liberties so precious that our patriotic veterans have fought courageously to defend
and secure them even with their very lives.
As we pray today for America, whose pledge of allegiance recounts that we are “𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐝,” and whose currency states that it is “𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐎𝐃 𝐖𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓,” we thank You, God, that Your hand is still upon our nation, and on each American. We pray sincerely that all may have a personal encounter with You, Lord, the God who rules over our country.
God, You have said, “𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝.” May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord.
Father, we praise and thank You for Your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve.
We fully understand that all is not right with America at this time. We deeply need a moral and spiritual renewal to help us meet the many challenges we face. Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and Your perfect peace.
Father, please protect our country from the division that challenges our ability to live lives pleasing to You. Defend the vulnerable, and bring justice to those who have suffered injustice.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We humbly beseech you, God, to forgive our sins, and to help those in power to turn from their wicked ways. Deliver us from evil, O Lord. We ask you once again, to heal and bless our land, our Republic, our beloved America.
Lead us back to being a secure and strong nation with Your chosen leaders. Help us to return to the words ofour pledge of allegiance, “𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥.”
We thank You, God, for hearing our plea on this our National Day of Prayer. We thank You as we ask all of these favors in Your holy and righteous Name, God.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, now and forever.
Amen and Amen.
