National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 6 We will focus our prayers this week on America and our military community.
Dear God,
We humbly bow before you now on behalf of our nation. God, forgive our sins and the sins of our nation. God, we confess today we need You. We ask for the precious blood of Jesus to cover the iniquity of our land. We deserve judgment, but we ask for your mercy. Please pour out Your Spirit and send a great awakening to America once again. You are only hope.
God, please give our leaders wisdom and humility. We ask forgiveness for decisions that are made against Your will. Give us courage to stand for truth. Restore righteousness to our land.
God, grant our military strength, endurance and grace. Please minister to military leaders at every rank and level. Draw them to Yourself. Place people around them who will shine their light brightly. Be with our chaplains as they minister to soldiers and families. Revive their weary souls. Comfort our military families. Bind our marriages together with cords of love and covenant that cannot be broken. Carry our military children in your arms. Be with every lonely wife, every lonely soldier. Lift up our widows and orphans. We ask you to heal us from the traumas of war. Protect us from evil.
This nation was founded on righteousness, we ask for a return to our roots. Father, we love you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
