Prayer for Unmerited Favor on A Nation

It's not hard to see that the world is in need of a Savior, and His name is Jesus.

Only through turning to Christ can any nation survive.  At this time of global crisis, heartache and confusion, it is vital that every believe make it a point to spend time before the Throne of God on behalf of their people and country asking the Lord for His unmerited favor in forgiving us for sinning against Him.

It's time our nation gets back in good standing with the Living God in seeking His face and turning from our sinful ways.

The first week in May is set aside as National Week of Prayer in America, but all are invited to participate on behalf of their own country.  

It is my humble request that you join us each day in praying over these areas according to this passage in scripture.

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.:

NATIONAL PRAYER

Lord, we exist to give You glory. We exist

because of Your glory, and in Your glory, as

our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.

We give you thanks and praise for every breath

and moment You have given to us.

We repent of our sin; for the shameful things

we have done against You and for our

silence when we did not speak up to

proclaim Your Name, profess Your Word,

or protect and practice Your will.

We ask Your forgiveness.

We pray that the knowledge of the glory of

the Lord will spread across our nation and

the entire earth as we seek Your Kingdom

and righteousness; as we walk in

obedience to You, and in humble unity,

love one another.

Jesus, the Bible says that

You are “the knowledge of the glory of the

Lord.” You have taught us to pray,

commanded us to love, and commissioned

us to share Your gospel of grace.

Your glory fills our hearts and families, it

overflows into our neighborhoods,

workplaces, campuses, churches, in our

entertainment and media.

We give thanks for our military and ask that

Your glory would spread to, and through them

as they preserve freedom around the world.

We pray for our government, that all of our

leaders and laws would be filled with Your

glory, that they would magnify Your Holy

Word and honor Your will and ways.

We pray that Your grace and glory would

spread to bring hope to the hopeless, and

love where there is hurt and hate. God, use

us as we pray your promise, that “the earth

will be filled with the knowledge of the

glory of the Lord as the waters

cover the sea.”

In Jesus Name, Amen!

When A Nation Prays

The most powerful weapon we have against the enemy is the gift of prayer.  With that in mind, we are uniting in committing to pray daily for one week covering a specific number of areas asking for God’s mercy and favor.

On May 1^st America begins a week of prayer, but all nations and individuals are invited to take part in entering the throne room of God on behalf of their country according to this passage in the Bible.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,

and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then

I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

(2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV)

The Bible says that when a nation prays, seeks God's face and repents of sin it will hear from Heaven in answered prayer.  Therefore, each day we will pray over one of the seven assigned topics leading up to the National Day of Prayer on May 7^th.  Reminders will be posted daily so you know what area will be covered in prayer for that day.  See here.

“Finally, let’s draw near to the Throne of Favor (grace) with confidence so that we can receive mercy and find grace when we need help.”

(Hebrews 4:16 CEB)

This year the National Day of Prayer board selected "Pray God's Glory Across the Earth" for its theme based on the scripture in Habakkuk 2:14.

"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."

National Week of Prayer Schedule

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

 (Mark 3:25)

May 1^st – Pray for the family.

Scriptures to pray:

Pray for families to be united within themselves for a divided house will not survive. (Mark 3:35)

Pray for unity and love in individual families that reach out in hospitality toward others. (Romans 12:9-13)

Pray that relationships between parents and children are restored. 

(Malachi 4:5-6)

Pray for a return to family values that serve the nation as a whole.

(Job 22:21-22)

Pray for a return to the biblical mandate to train their children at home in the fear of the Lord and not leave the responsibility to others. (Proverbs 22:6)

Until next time, pray God’s favor on families for healing!
