"Prayer For Our Nation"


Our Heavenly Father, we come to you to acknowledge that we are a sinful people and as a nation we have sinned against You by thought, word and deed.

As a nation we have turned our backs on You. We have expelled You from our schools, we have kicked You out of our courts, we have vanquished You from our congress, in many cases we have deserted You in our churches and we have set other gods before You and have included them in some of our worship services. We have allowed witchcraft to flourish. We have profaned Your Sabbaths and some have even gone so far as to blaspheme Your Holy Spirit.

Even with all this Lord, there is a remnant who still strive to serve You in the manner in which You have commanded us.

Look upon us with compassion and turn us back to you. We began as a Christian nation and we desperately need to return to You.

Give us the whole armour of God, which is the character of Christ. Gird us about with the belt of truth. Put on us the breastplate of righteousness; put on our feet the shoes of the gospel of peace; Put in our hands the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Put on our heads the helmet of salvation and give us the sword of the Spirit which is Your Holy Word. Having given us all these things, add to us, the courage to stand. In Jesus' Name. Amen
