A PRAYER FOR AMERICA

A PRAYER FOR AMERICA

Please forward this to all your family & friends so that we may come with one mind and accord in Christ to lift up our nation to our heavenly Father for mercy…


Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to You in the name of Your precious son Jesus. We enter Your gates with thanksgiving and we enter Your courts with Praise! We exalt Your Holy name on the earth!

Father, Your word says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Father, Your word also says in James 2:13 that “mercy triumphs over judgment,” therefore, we humble ourselves and lift up the United States to You for mercy.

On behalf of ourselves, our leaders, and our nation, we repent for idolatry, violence, corruption, covetousness, addiction, gluttony, sexual immorality, envy, strife, division, rebellion, defiance, witchcraft, selfishness, lying, cheating, stealing, gossip, poor stewardship, lack of honor, not helping the poor, for any sin we have committed not mentioned here, for putting anything before You, or exalting anything above the knowledge of our God!

We seek Your face Father and turn from our wicked ways and pray that You will heal our land. We pray Father that You will safely return America back to You, that You again make America “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” because Your word tells us these things please You!

Father, we pray that Your word will again be heard in our schools and government. We pray that our currency will keep Your name. We pray that the leaders You want will be hired, appointed, and elected! We pray that that the United States will fully please the Lord, being fruitful in every good work, using its resources to preach the gospel and to help those around the world in need including Your beloved nation of Israel!

Father, we pray that You sweep our nation with a powerful move of Your Spirit. We pray that You move up the next generation of Paul’s, Peter’s, Stephen’s, Abraham’s, Moses’, and Elijah’s! We pray that You soften the hearts of our leaders and citizens, that people in their own hearts will hunger for You and Your righteousness!

Father, we pray You send Your Holy Spirit to make a way where the enemy has brought spiritual blindness and hindrance. I pray that You come with a powerful breakthrough for Your namesake. I ask You Lord to “stop the devil’s plan to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10).” We give America back to You, the Lord our God, so that Your will be done here as it is in heaven!

Now to You, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.

Amen!
