Dear Heavenly Father~
I look to You, the Maker of heaven and earth, in Whose hands the Universe is sustained, under Whose power all mankind is held. . .
Our nation has turned away from following Your most basic tenents, and many of our leaders corrupt the understanding and ways of even your own children. Our courts have fallen from the way of justice, and the wicked pursue the righteous like plunder. Our people commit murder and great evil, before Your holy throne oh God, daily. With shamed face I plead for mercy.
Look on us and have mercy oh God. Be gracious and keep a wide open door to minister Your word still. Do not allow evil people to continue to rule, but put an end to their devised plans. Cause those who hold mighty positions to be quickened, let Your truth be heard that it may pierce the hearts of our leaders. Turn the hearts of many to righteousness again. And Lord ~ let the changes begin in us, Your own family. Move in us to call out a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ, even in these bitter times. Sanctify Your people in this adversity.
Let this country, founded on Your principles from Your word~ not diminish because of corruption, but revive Your word again in us as many tremble and fear. Do not allow us to be linked with nations who have corrupted themselves before us, Lord. Grant us a revival of Your holiness Father, a witness of Your truth, and one more chance to serve Your name. For You openned the doors to the gospel of Christ here in the beginning Lord ~ it is still Your work not to allow any man to shut them.
Thank You Father for hearing my plea, thank You Father for Your grace and love and protection.:heart
I ask that Your will be done Father, not my own, I ask in Jesus name. :amen
