Genesis 6:3,5
|
O Lord, we know that Your Spirit will not strive with our nation forever.
We pray that You will send revival and reformation to our nation before the
intent of the thought of every heart is only evil continually
and before the wickedness of our nation becomes so great that You must judge
our nation, even as You judged the ancient world through the terrible floood
in the days of Noah.
|
|
Genesis 18:18
|
We pray for Your kingdom to come to our nation as a fulfillment of
Your promise that Abraham will be a blessing to all nations. Bless our nation,
O Lord, by drawing more and more Americans to Christ,
who is the great Seed of Abraham, and by giving more and more Americans the
faith of Abraham, who saw Christ's day and was glad. Then bless our nation
by using these, the spiritual seed of Abraham within our nation,
to promote an increasingly righteous and compassionate society, an
increasingly just and gracious culture, an increasingly virtuous and
benevolent community.

Genesis 20:11

wickedness and respects human life.

Exodus 5:9
|
O Lord, we pray for Your kingdom to come to our nation. We pray that our
nation will learn again to respect the Lord's Day as a day of worship. May
the employers of our land not be as Pharaoh, who punished Israel with more
work and made them gather their own straw to make bricks when they asked for
time to worship You. Grant us a culture, O Lord, that is not hostile to
but sympathetic with a day devoted each week to Your worship.
|
|
Exodus 6:6
|
O Lord, we pray for Your kingdom to come to our nation. We pray that You will

Send us revival, O Lord, and give us a godly nation as our heritage.

if we will walk in Your statutes and keep Your commandments and perform
them,
then we shall dwell in our land in safety; for You will give peace in the
land, and we shall lie down, and none will make us afraid. You will even rid
the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through our land.
|
|

O Lord, we pray for our nation and its culture. We pray that You will send

strengthen the moral foundation upon which our society is built.
For if the moral foundation of our society is destroyed, then what can the
righteous do to further Your righteous cause within our society?

and use them and their witness to write again Your law on the stone tablets
of our nation's laws and institutions and traditions and mores.

We pray, O Lord, that you will pour out Your Holy Spirit upon Your churches

|
O Lord, bless our nation. May Your churches have a sanctifying influence on

wicked ways.

in His paths."

|
Jeremiah 5:30-31
|
O Lord, may Your kingdom come to our nation, for an astonishing and
horrible thing has been committed in the land: self-proclaimed prophets prophesy
falsely, even claiming to know the date of the second coming of Christ,
and church leaders rule by their own power with little accountability,
and many who claim to be Your people, O God, love to have it so. O Lord, what
will our nation have in the end if such practices continue? Bless this nation,
O Lord,
by sending revival to Your churches.
|
|
Jeremiah 6:10

We pray that You will bring revival to our nation. To whom shall we speak
and give warning within our nation, that they may hear? The ear of so many
is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed.

it. Pour out Your Spirit in power upon the churches of our land and renew
the spiritual life of our nation.

Jeremiah 6:15; Rom 1:32; 1 Tim 6:12

life and strength and integrity to Your churches in our land that they may
fight the good fight and win back our culture to righteousness.
|
|
Jeremiah 6:16
|
O Lord, we pray for our nation. We thank You for our many leaders in the
past who sought to lead our nation in the paths of righteousness.
We pray that You will enable our nation to stand in the ways
and see that we have as a culture strayed from the old paths
where the good way is.
Enable our nation to ask for the old paths and to walk in the good way that
we may find rest for our souls.
|
|
Jeremiah 6:17-19
|
O Lord, enable Your churches in our land to serve as faithful watchmen to
warn of the calamity that will come if we as a nation continue in our sinful
ways. Give our nation ears to listen to the warning sounds of the trumpet.
Deliver us from the just judgment for our rebellion against You. Deliver us
from that calamity which is the fruit of our thoughts, because we have not
heeded Your words nor Your law but have rejected it.
|
|
Jeremiah 7:28
|
Enable us as a nation, O Lord, to obey Your voice and heed Your correction.
For if our nation persists in rebelling against You, O Lord, truth will
perish and will be cut off from our mouth.
We will become a culture which neither knows truth nor speaks it. Send our
nation new spiritual life, O Lord, and draw our nation near to You while
there is yet time.
|
|
Jeremiah 29:7

by concentrating our energies and efforts on the building up of Your
kingdom and doing good in Your name.
|

O Lord, unless You think thoughts of peace and not of evil regarding our

so that
You will bring our nation back from its captivity to godlessness and
unbelief.
|
|

O Ancient of Days, You gave the Son of Man dominion and glory and a kingdom
when He ascended to heaven in His resurrection body, that all peoples,
nations, and languages should serve Him.

and more to honor and submit to Christ as the King of kings.
|
|
Daniel 7:13-14
|
We pray that Your kingdom will come to our nation. For we know that You, the
Ancient of Days, have given the resurrected and ascended Son of Man, dominion
and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should
serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His
kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.

work of revival to our nation that the day will come when in our nation
justice will run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Amos 8:11-12
|
O Lord, we pray for our nation, for we fear that a famine is coming to our
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of the hearing of
Your words, O Lord. We fear that the day will come when people will wander
from sea to sea,
and from north to east, when people will run to and fro, seeking Your word,
O Lord, and not find it. O Lord, multiply, strengthen and prosper the
churches in our land which teach and live Your word with integrity.
|
|
Micah 4:2
|
O Lord, may Your kingdom come to our nation. We pray that you will so revive
Your church that the day will come when our nation, and indeed all the
nations of the earth, shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall
walk in His paths." For Your law goes forth from the heavenly Zion, where
Jesus today reigns, and Your word from Jerusalem above, which is the mother
of us all.
|
|
Malachi 1:11
|
O Lord, may Your kingdom come to our own nation, for Your name shall be
great among all the nations of the earth.

among the Gentiles. In every place, may incense be offered to Your name,
and a pure offering, O Lord of hosts.

decay of our society.
|
|
Matthew 5:14-16
|
Enable the churches which are committed to Your word to shine forth as
light in our dark and darkening world. May we not hide under a basket the light

upon a lampstand that our light may shine forth into all the world to Your
glory.
|

Matthew 13:33
|
We pray that You will draw the churches of our land to Yourself, that You
will persuade and enable them to proclaim Your message in its Scriptural
integrity, and that You will fill them with Your Spirit.
Use Your churches to permeate our culture with the righteousness of
Your kingdom even as a woman takes leaven and hides it in three measures of
meal until it is all leavened.
|
|
Matthew 13:44
|
May Your churches in our country value the Christ of Scripture as their
most valuable treasure.

order to buy a field values the treasure which he has found hidden in that
field.
|
|
Galatians 3:8
|
We pray that Your kingdom will come to our nation, O Lord. For You preached
the gospel to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

Abraham Jesus Christ.
May the gospel prosper in our nation, and may Christ increasingly rule over
every aspect of our nation's life.
|
|
Philippians 2:9-11
|
O Lord, we pray that more and more within our nation will bow the knee before
the name of Jesus and confess that He is Lord, to Your glory, O God.

every name. Enable our nation once again to recognize and acknowledge the
authority of Jesus and to submit to Him in every detail of our culture.
|
|

May we as a nation, through our laws and institutions and customs and
traditions, submit to Jesus and obey His teaching in all things.
