Day 9: January 16th: Prayers for the Country
January 16th: Prayers for the Country
Dear God, give the leaders of this nation the wisdom and integrity to lead our nation in the best direction, where You are put in Your rightful position - and give each one discernment we pray, when making decisions or drawing up the legislation and laws that they pass - and may the decisions that they reach be godly and wise.
We pray also that You would protect our nation from other peoples that may seek to enter our borders, uninvited and ask that You would be with us and keep our roads, ports, borders and crossings safe and uncompromised.
As the days become increasingly dark in our country we pray that the light of Your love will shine on this land. May peace reign in our nation and protect us from those that would seek our downfall.
We really thank You that you have placed me in this land and we are grateful that we are citizens of this nation – but we know that our home is in heaven,
Lord we pray for our nation and ask that You would look down on us in pity and mercy. Forgive us for the way that we have turned our backs on You in so many ways and bring us back as a people who seek to follow the ways of justice and peace.
Keep our land free from war and aggressions – from winds and earthquakes – from fear and confusion and from other things that can cause hurt and fear and confusion.. and may we as a nation turn to You and call out to You in the day of trouble.
Be close to all our leaders and governors and give them wisdom and discernment as they rule this nation and we pray that the decisions that they make may be wise – and Lord that our nation would turn to You for Your wisdom and Your strength.
Be with all those that are oppressed and downtrodden and especially those that do not know You as their Savior – may there be many that come to know You as their saviour in this my country. We pray that the gospel may one day be preached in this land from shore to shore - openly and truthfully, and keep us from compromising Your word of truth. Restore to this nation the joy of Your salvation and bring many to a faith in the Lord Jesus as Savior we pray.
Loving Father, we thank You that we have been privileged to grow up in this country and although many of our standards are being eroded I thank You that for so long we have enjoyed the liberty and blessings we have received from Your hand in this land.
Thank You for the for our country Lord, and for our families and friends and the freedom that we have enjoyed up to now… Keep Your hand on this nation and give our leaders wisdom to see Your ways and to look to You for the direction that we, as a nation, need to go. But also Lord help us to hold to the things of this world lightly, knowing that our true citizenship is in heaven.. as part of Your heavenly kingdom.
Provide for those that are in need, feed those that are hungry, comfort those that are sorrowing, heal those that are sick and bring those that do not know You as their Savior into a close and personal walk with Yourself.
Loving Lord Jesus, it saddens us to see the way that the gospel of Jesus Christ – is being so compromised in our land. As a nation we seem to have moved so far from the true gospel of grace and our churches and fellowships seem to be embracing many alternative and compromised teachings that are not true to Your word.
Revive this land we pray. Stir up the hearts of those that have come to trust in Jesus Christ but who have been enticed to follow a different gospel or who have chosen to walk the way of compromised or embrace a different type of teaching. Let those that are Your blood-bought children be stirred in their hearts to seek the truth and to draw ever closer to the Lord Jesus – and Lord for those who once trusted You but have now wandered far away -we pray that You will speak to their hearts, revive their spirit and draw them back into close fellowship with Yourself – revive this land, I pray - in Jesus name, Amen
