A Prayer for America
This is taken from the website, The Presidential Prayer Team (http://presidentialprayerteam.com/) …
As our nation’s Founders designed their plan for a more perfect union, they understood that the success of a modern republic would require more than a political document like the Constitution. From their study of history, the Founders had learned of the pitfalls of republics before this one. They concluded that even the Constitution alone could not curb individual selfishness. They believed that virtues were necessary for sustaining the American experiment. Their fervent prayers were an integral part of the birth of our nation. As a testament to this, Samuel Adams declared on August 2, 1776 as other members of the Continental Congress were still signing the Declaration of Independence, “We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.”
The prayer …
Father, as You warned many times in Your Word, because of our disobedience to Your law, we are losing our land. Please forgive us Lord for not listening to You and repenting from our sin and allowing You to heal us. We have worshiped money, possessions, and ourselves over You and now we face the consequences of our actions. You are taking the country that You gave to us because we were unfaithful and we dishonored You. I pray today that Your will be done and that Your Kingdom be returned to its rightful place. Help us to be strong through the difficult times ahead. Grant us peace in the knowledge that these things must happen. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of your Son Jesus Christ and may those who do not know Him as Lord and Savior, be drawn to Him in this time of turmoil. I pray in earnest for Your return and I pray for Your mercy on the United States of America.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
