Day 16 of 40 Days of Prayer

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. (Romans 5:1-2 NLT)

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for your many blessings and favor that you have given to your children and to our country. And we thank you for your grace and mercy that you have lavished onto us.  We acknowledge you as our God, the God of truth and love, the God who was, and is, and is to come. We want to bring you the honor and glory that only you are worthy of. God you have given us eyes to see when no human eye can see a way, we see God’s way; you have given us a way when the world says it’s impossible, we can boldly say that with God ALL things are possible. We have no limits with you God, we have no mountain that is too big or no sea too deep – we have the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth on our side. God we ask for forgiveness, when we begin to doubt, when we begin to give into the worry and anxiety of this world – when we look at the situations around us and think that there’s just no way. Please forgive us for doubting you, you are the same God of miracles from the Bible, you never change – forgive us for trying to conform you to our world and lives, instead of conforming ourselves to you and your Word. Your Word is perfectly clear, there is no reading in between the lines, and today too many people have claimed to be your children and have twisted your Word into the confines of man’s abilities and lofty ideals. 

Dear God, it’s time for your children to arise and answer the cry from your Holy Spirit to all Believers – a call to stand up for you. We pray for forgiveness of our sins, sins against you and each other. You have given us your grace, redeemed us by faith in your son Jesus Christ and by mercy we have been set free from the bondage that this world had once claimed over us – it’s time to stop picking up those chains and claim the promises that you have for your children today. It’s time for every Believer to use the authority of Christ and proclaim the victory over the enemy, to claim what has already been given and what Jesus has already paid for. We pray that your Holy Spirit would pour out over us and embolden us share you and your message with the lost. We pray that the lost would come to you with a tender heart and seek your forgiveness. We pray for every leader in every nation, that they would seek you and your will for themselves and their countries. We pray that hearts would search for you, that lives would be changed and that your will would be done in the land. We thank you and give you all the praise and honor, in your son Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN
