Day 2 of 40 Days of Prayer

If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing.  Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have done for country, thank you for the people that have joined together to pray for our nation, thank you for your Word that guides us and teaches us, and thank you for sending your Son to save us – we want to honor you with our praise and prayers Lord! We ask for forgiveness of our sins against you and each other, Lord, and we thank you for your mercy and grace, because your Word tells us that when we confess our sins, you are just and true to cast them as far as the east is to the west. We pray for the leaders of our nations, we pray for their eyes to be opened and their hearts to turn to you Lord. We pray for all who have been blinded, whose eyes have been veiled by the enemy, we plead the Blood of Jesus’ over each and every pair of eyes that have been shut to your light, your message, the truth.  Lord, the time is drawing near, the harvest is great and the workers are few.  Let us be the light in this world that shines the love of your Son Jesus’ onto every heart and every soul, give us the boldness to speak – let us walk the talk Lord, following the path that you have given each and every one of us. We pray that you would correct us when we stray from your path, we pray that our hearts would remain tender to you and your will, we pray that we would be the likeness of your Son, the salt of the earth, the hands and feet of Jesus. Give us the words to speak, strengthen us to live as Ambassadors of Christ, so that we would be the laborers for your harvest, to you all the honor and glory and in your Son Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN
