Day 23 of 40 Days of Prayer

  For there is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior.  There is none but me.   22 Let all the world look to me for salvation!  For I am God; there is no other 23 I have sworn by my own name; I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word:  Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess allegiance to me.” 24 The people will declare, “The Lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.”  And all who were angry with him will come to him and be ashamed. (Isaiah 45:21b-24 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your righteousness, thank you for our salvation, thank you that there is no other God but you. Thank you that your Word is forever and never changes. We ask for forgiveness of our sins against you and each other. We pray for our country to return to its roots; a return to the reason this country was founded – the freedom to worship you and follow you. This country was built on the solid rock of Christianity, with you God as our foundation. We ask for forgiveness for the corruption of your name in our country and for the evil and wickedness that has taken place here. We ask for forgiveness over the silence that has allowed these changes to occur. We pray for our leaders - leaders who proclaim to be Christians but live as though they’ve never known you; we pray for an awakening in their hearts and their minds, so that they could lead with your blessings. We pray for those that don’t know you, that they would come to a saving knowledge of you. We pray for those that have known you but live otherwise, that they would return to you. We know the season of Jesus’ return is close, so we thank you for the work that we have to do – each and every believer has a purpose, especially during these times. We pray for boldness, strength, peace and comfort for every person – that they would seek you and your will in their lives. We pray for this election, that you would be given all the honor and glory no matter the outcome – we pray for the candidate that will lift you above every name, we pray for your mercy, grace and favor upon the candidate who puts your values first and our country second. We stand together in unity and prayer for our country and in Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN!!
