PRAYER
FOR OUR NATION
Almighty God and Father,
In The Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, we
give thanks and your people give praises to You for this country and its
people.
We thank You for our heritage and for the freedom we have. We praise You
for Your grace and Your Mercy that You have extended towards our Country.
Father, Your Word promises if we, Your people,
will humble ourselves, pray and seek Your Face, turn from our wicked ways,
then You will hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our Land.
What a Glorious Promise!
We, as the Body of Christ, have sinned before You-we desire to seek
Your Face and ask for Your Mercy and Your Forgiveness so that You might
Restore uprighteousness in our Nation.
We desire to make intercession for our Nation;
we confess our sin, our rebellion, our stubbornness and pride. We ask for
Your Mercy and Your Forgiveness as a Nation, from its apathy, for cursing
Your Name, for being ignorant of Your Word, for not setting our priorities
aright; for allowing the exaltation of flesh, for not being good stewards
of what You have Given us; natural resources, human resources, our families,
our aged, our poor and needy, our young, the unborn and for being silent
when Your Truths are compromised with man-made religion and traditions
that have become idolatry or abominations that have filtered into false
doctrine that has been taught as Your Truth.
We ask You to forgive our country for being involved in allowing crime
and corruption to be rampant and forgive us for our complacency.
Lord, we ask for Your Mercy to be poured out upon this Nation, according
to Your Loving Kindness, according to the Tender Mercies to blot out our
transgressions.
Merciful Father, please cleanse us from our sins for we acknowledge them,
and humble ourselves before You, in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ.
We stand in agreement with Your Word and In
the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We refute any satanic powers and the evil in the heart of man; we, as Christ's
Body, refute any spirit of lust, greed, pride, or rebellion in this Nation
and we ask You, Father God, to send forth Your angels to do battle and
war in the heavens and bring deliverance from the adversary who would desire
to trap and deceive us.
May a Godly sorrow that works repentance come
forth in the hearts of the people and especailly Leaders in all areas of
authority in our Nation.
May those who have positions of authority in this land seek
YOUR wisdom in all matters and we ask that your guiding hand be upon them
as they make decisions for the people and may they seek your answers and
not those of man.
Father, we pray for our Nation to awake to righteousness
and sin not by allowing You to be first in all things. Blessed is the Nation
who has the One and Only Mighty God as their Lord.
We beg You to send forth a great hunger and
thirst for Your Word to come to this Nation and a desire to get right with
You, Our Creator.
Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of understanding
that all might see the need of God, The Father's Sovereignty over this
Country; May Jesus be uplifted in this Nation, in every area of influence
in our society, Governmental, Judiciary and Educational institutions, in
Industry, Commerce, Arts, Medicine, the Armed Forces, Media, Sports, Technology
and Agriculture. Righteousness exalts a nation as does humility and awe
of The Lord God Almighty.
May this Nation be Christ's Light to other
Nations and cause righteousness to come forward as repairers and restorers.
We thank You, Heavenly Father for those You are training and preparing
for places of influence.
We thank You that Your Word is published and read by the people of this
Country.
We ask for ears to hear, for eyes to see and hearts to be converted by
The Holy Spirit.
May You respond to the sincerity of our prayers for this Nation, for whom
we intercede.
As part of the Body of Christ we thank You for Your Word, which is both
Truthful and Faithful in accordance with Your Promises.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ and all
that He stands for, the Only Saviour, we uplift this Nation before You.
AMEN.
