Almighty God, we thank You for Your continued guidance over our nation. We pray for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and all our leaders, that they will lead and govern us with Your wisdom, integrity, and compassion in Jesus name. Strengthen the resolve of those working to restore justice and American values. Protect our nation from those who seek to harm us, both from within and without.
Lord, we ask for a spiritual awakening in America in the name of Jesus. We pray that you would remove our hearts of stones and give us hearts of flesh. Soften all hearts that have grown hard for one reason or another and open eyes that have been blinded to Your truth in Jesus name. Heal the divisions in our land and help us to love our neighbors as ourselves just as you told us in your word.
We pray for the protection and the continued success of efforts to secure our borders, reform our institutions, and revitalize our economy. We pray and ask that all these endeavors will be done in a way that honors You in Jesus name.
Finally, Father, we lift up the persecuted church around the world and ask for Your protection and strength for our brothers and sisters facing opposition for their faith in the name of Jesus. We cover each and every brother and sister all over the world with the blood of Jesus Christ. Standing upon your covenant we declare that no weapon that is fashioned against our brothers and sisters all over the world shall prosper in the name of Jesus and every tongue that rises us against our brothers and sisters all over the world … we condemn all those tongues right now in Jesus name. Lord we pray rededicating this nation to you. Lord, use America as a force for good in the world, standing for religious freedom and human dignity in Jesus name.
Finally we declare that Your will, will be done on the Earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen.
