Recently, my sister asked me to join her and my other sister in praying for our nation, each day at 12:30. I readily agreed, as Jesus told us, " Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything
they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." (Matt 18:19). I have shared in a number of older posts that I use the Lord's prayer as guideline or prayer directive. Yesterday, as I was praying, the Holy Spirit came and showed me how to pray for our nation using the Lord's Prayer as an outline:
Our
Father in Heaven -
Who brought our nation into being and kept our forefathers on this continent.
Hallowed be Thy Name -
You provided us with our freedoms: religion, speech, press, etc.
Thy Kingdom come -
Your salvation and peace come to every citizen of this nation.
Thy will be done on earth as in Heaven -
You know what is needed and Your judgements are right
Give us this day our daily bread -
You have blessed this nation with so many natural resources, thank You
and help continue to bless others, both materially and Spiritually
Forgive us our sins -
our greed, prejudice, lack of morality, rioting, drunkenness, etc.
As we forgive those who sin against us -
those who have wronged us, taken advantage of us, etc
Lead us not into temptation -
pray for our leadership: President, Vice President, Speaker of the
House, senators, house representatives, governors, legislators, judges,
mayors, etc.
Deliver us from evil -
protect those who protect us - police, sheriffs, soldiers, secret
service agents, those in the Pentagon, etc. also firemen, first
responders, doctors/nurses.
