A Prayer
for Our Nation
Heavenly Father, I come before You in the Name of
Jesus on behalf of the United States of America. I pray for a shield of
divine protection over this country and for insight and uncovering of all
terrorist activity. I rebuke the spirit of fear and terror. It has no
place here.
Father, You said the heart of the king is in Your hand, and You turn it
whichever way You choose. So I ask You to direct the heart and mind of
President Bush. I pray for the wisdom of God, that he makes the right
decisions. I also pray for his divine strength and health. I set myself in
agreement with him that we receive these things, in Jesus' Name.
I give thanks that our government is upon Jesus' shoulder, and I hold up
in prayer all the men and women in positions of authority over us in any
way. I pray that the Spirit of the Lord rests upon them and a hedge of
protection surrounds them.
I believe skillful and godly wisdom has entered into their hearts, and
knowledge is pleasant to them. Discretion watches over them. Understanding
keeps them and delivers them from the way of evil and from evil men. Lord,
I believe You give them revelation of Your perfect will, and all their
decisions are divinely directed by You.
I thank You, Lord, for bringing change to the politics of our nation.
Thank You for changing the voices of influence to speak in agreement with
Your Word. I ask You to send laborers, filled with the spirit of wisdom
and might, to surround our leaders with godly counsel and insight. I also
ask You to remove from positions of authority those who stubbornly oppose
righteousness, and replace them with men and women who will follow You and
Your appointed course for America.
Your Word declares that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the
Lord." I receive Your blessing and declare with my mouth that Your
people dwell safely in this land and they prosper abundantly.
You said in Your Word that if Your people would turn from their wicked
ways and pray, You would heal the land. So Lord, I repent for the sins of
this nation. I ask that You would cleanse us and forgive us for idolatry,
witchcraft and every kind of disobedience. Grant this nation a spirit of
repentance and cover us with Your mercy. As we turn back to You, Lord, I
believe the land is being healed.
As we enter the final hours of the last days, I ask for the spirit of
faith, the working of miracles, for signs, wonders, gifts, and
demonstrations of the Holy Spirit and power to be in strong operation. Let
believers in the United States and in every land be unified to stand
strong by faith in Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing, that Your
glory may be revealed in all the earth.
I thank You that the good news of the gospel is published in our land, and
Your Word prevails and grows mightily in the hearts and lives of the
people. I declare that Jesus is Lord over these United States!
Thank You, Lord, that these requests come to pass. I believe I receive, in
Jesus' Name. Amen!
