Prayer...

　

Father, we who call ourselves by Your holy Name come seeking Your Face. Long have we enjoyed the blessings of Your Hand. Make our blinded eyes see the rebellion in ourselves so that we are truly humbled before You. Make our eyes see the wicked ways in our own lives. Lord God may we no longer seek only the blessings You provide, but with undivided hearts seek Your Face. (2 Chron. 7:14)

Holy Father, you have been merciful to the sinful and rebellious, You have given grace and a way of pardon and restoration, but You command repentance. Father, I pray we may be brought to true repentance without further suffering. For each individual and for our nation, I pray that we might have fresh realization of our own personal sin and truly turn from it. (Acts 17:30 )

　

Lord, stir Your Holy Spirit within every Christian in this land. Motive each person to seek You as never before. Father our security is in You. You are king. You are ruler. I fervently ask that You show Yourself and make Yourself heard in each Christian heart and mind. Oh God, may we seek You and follow Your leading BEFORE we find ourselves in trouble. (Ps. 32:6-7)

Father, You are sovereign over times, season, and all powers. Only by Your permission does any ruler sit in authority. (Daniel 2:20) Reveal to us when we are decieved and have believed lies. Oh God, help us to see the truth of what is happening in our world. Help us to recognize the signs around us, just as we recognize the signs of storm clouds in the sky. (Luke 12:54-56)

Our Creator God, fear and reverence of You is where any and all knowledge begins. Give our leaders fresh fear and reverence for You and Your Word. Enable them to hear and understand Your Will, increase their learning, give them wise counsel, and a desire to bend their will to Yours. (Prov. 1:5-6)

　

Lord, those who have followed You have “ subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. “(Heb. 11: 33-34)

　

Now Lord God, strip away human pride in our leaders, remind them that only thru You can any lasting thing be accomplished. Mere man can do nothing, but thru You, all things are possible. ( Phil. 4:13)

Our God, do again what you did in the days of old. Astonish us as You rule and reign in our midst. (Hab. 1:5)

And Father, as You bring judgment, as You surely must….remember mercy. (Hab. 3:2)
