Heavenly Father, today we come before You in prayer for our nation. Our hearts are broken as we witness the condition of our land. We humble ourselves before You and ask that this nation would return to You.
We confess our lack of prayer. Cleanse us of any unkind word or attitude that has not reflected Your character. Forgive us for being comtortable to stay within the walls of the church.
Help us to speak with clarity, love, and passion. Let us be bold in our convictions and gentle in our compassion. As followers of Jesus Christ we pray that You would bring unity to this divided land. Wash the soul of our nation! Cleanse us from hatred, division, and every divisive attitude. And we boldly pray-You would heal our land, forgive us of our sins... and once again pour out Your Spirit of revival on us.
We lift up the local, state, and federal elections to You. We declare in faith that the final vote is in Your hands. While some trust in human strength and wisdom, we wil trust in You.
May the love of Christ compel us in every conversation, every decision, every attitude, and every action we take. Let us honor others above ourselves, extend grace to those with differing perspectives, and serve those around us.
We pray for Shalom over our families-peace, stillness, and calm. Our hearts are often filled with fear and worry about everything going on around us. Yet, no matter what happens, may the peace of God guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.
In His mighty name, we pray. Amen.
