Day 30 of 40 Days of Prayer

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.  Give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4 NLT)

24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. 25 But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.” (Mark 11:24-25 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for all you have done for your children, we thank you for your many blessings, favor, mercy and grace. You are more awesome than we can ever imagine, you are majestic and wonderful. We ask for forgiveness of our sins, sins against you and each other; we want to honor you with our words and actions, so we ask forgiveness for the countless times we have fallen short.

We pray today for our nation; for this land to be restored and refreshed.  There is a darkness and depression that has covered this country and we pray for a revival among the people; a great repentance and returning to you. We pray for the people of this nation to seek you out, that there would be a revival of every heart and every soul. We pray for our leaders to honor you with praise and thanksgiving, to acknowledge you as the one true God and your Son, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior. We pray for your children, to be strengthened and encouraged, to keep pressing on – to finish this 40 days of prayer as a commitment to you and to our country. We pray for your wisdom, understanding and discernment with this election, we pray for your will to be done and for your name to be glorified. We give you all the glory, honor and praise, in Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN
