Prayer Focus: Praying For Our Nation, America! 

Dear FATHER GOD,

We praise YOUR NAME for YOU are worthy!  There is none like our GOD!  Father help us to stand in this ever changing world.  YOU LORD are omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent and YOUR Promises remain the same. YOU change NOT!  (Malachi 3:6)

THANK YOU for YOUR unfailing love.  We are grateful that no matter how far we wander, when we turn from our sin back to YOU, YOU are faithful to receive us back. (1 John 1:9)  Teach us how to worship YOU and live in faithful obedience as YOUR beloved people. 

According to 2 Chronicles 7:14, if we YOUR people, who are called by YOUR name, will humble ourselves and pray and seek YOUR face and turn from our wicked ways, then YOU will hear from heaven, and YOU will forgive our sin and will heal our nation.

According to 1 Timothy 2:1-4, we are to pray for ALL people, asking YOU for what they need with thanksgiving. We are to pray for rulers and all who have authority that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life; full of worship and respect for YOU. For this is good and it is pleasing in the sight of GOD our SAVIOR, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

We pray now for every person in governmental rule and by name we pray for President Donald J. Trump, we lift him up to YOU for his heart is in YOUR hands. Therefore, he can do no more than what YOU permit. YOU direct him, YOU speak to him, YOU turn him, and YOU use him LORD. (Proverbs 21:1) YOU alone be glorified for there is none above EL SHADDAI, ALL MIGHTY GOD!

There is no one on earth who can raise up another to grant honor, not from the east or the west, not from the desert.  There is no one; YOU are the ONLY ONE. (Psalms 75:6)  Give us a spirit of going to the least; going to those who don’t have.  We pray for humility to grip America right now, to bow down to who YOU are, YOU reign supreme for above YOU there is no other.

We pray that people of hatred turn on themselves and destroy themselves, we bind hated in this land!  We come against the sin of racism and injustice. Let love and justice reign and flow down like rivers.  FATHER GOD, YOU set this country upon a hill and blessed it to lead the world.  We ask YOU FATHER GOD to bring peace, deliverance, and justice.  Let us be the manifestation of YOUR witness in the earth! YOU ARE WELL ABLE TO DO IT!

WE worship YOU and praise YOU for we know the victory is ours!  We THANK YOU GOD for the victory in advance for what is yet to be seen. America will know that you are GOD and GOD alone. 

FATHER GOD in YOUR wisdom and YOUR will you have permitted us to be in this moment of history. YOU are in control. We are not shaking; we are not fearful. For we are full of POWER, and we holdfast in this position and call on YOUR name. YOUR Power demonstrates what YOU say!  YOUR WORD says…

Romans 13:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
2 Chronicles 20:15 King James Version (KJV)

Prayer for Bishop, First Lady and Family

God commands us to cover our spiritual leader with protective prayers. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in the all godliness and reverence”.   1 Timothy 2:1-2.  Prayer and intercession allows us to strip the enemy of his territory and claim the harvest for God in our city. It is so imperative that we continue to cover our Bishop and follow him as he follows Christ.
