Day 15 of 40 Days of Prayer

John 8:31-32 "So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

John 1:17 "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ."

Dear Heavenly Father,

We humbly submit ourselves to Your Word, who is Jesus Christ (John 1). We submit ourselves to your grace and to your truth! Father, we ask that in our personal lives, in our families, in our communities, and in our nation that we would seek truth, honor truth, elevate truth as we honor & elevate Your Word in our lives.

We thank you that as we continue in Your word, in truth, and in grace as given to us in Jesus that we will be free! We will see and know freedom in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. Father, we ask you to reveal more and more of Jesus to us!

On behalf of our nation, Father, we ask that grace and truth be elevated, honored, and sought after in all areas: journalism, politics, religion, family, faith, education, and all other areas! We ask that Jesus be magnified in our nation! Father, we ask that lying lips be silenced and that Your grace and truth reign in our lives and in the lives of this great nation that we are so blessed to live in. Father, we ask that according to Ephesians 1 that you would grant to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ; that you'd open the eyes of our understanding that we would know what is the hope of Your calling and the glorious inheritance of the saints - and the awesome working of your power towards us who believe. Father, we thank you for eyes being opened across this nation. Seeing they will see! Hearing they will hear!

Then as we seek, hear, see, and follow after Jesus Christ - who is truth - then we will know and continue in the truth and the truth will set us free; families healed and mended; marriages restored; communities drawn together to honor You; a nation emboldened to stand for Christ. In Jesus Name we pray! Be magnified, Oh Lord! Amen.
