Day 5 of 40 Days of Prayer

Finally, dear brothers and sisters,  we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you.  Pray, too, that we will be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone is a believer.  But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one .  And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you.  May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. (2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for all you have done for our country and for your hand and favor upon our nation all these years. We ask for forgiveness of the sins of our country, sins against you and each other.  Lord your Word tells us to put you in remembrance, so we ask that you remember Nineveh and how they repented of their evil ways, and turned back to you.  God, we pray for a full activation of all the Believers in our country; that hearts would be changed, lives would be renewed and people would return to you and your ways. We pray dear Lord for your guidance, your direction, and your will in our lives, our families, our cities, our lands and our nation. We pray that each person would answer the call that is made to them, that the Holy Spirit would be heard and not drowned out by the noise of the world. Strengthen your children dear God, give us courage and boldness to speak the truth and protect us from the enemy. We thank you God because we know you hear our prayers, we know you care, we know you love us and we know you want our nation restored. We give you all the glory, honor and praise dear God and pray in your Son Jesus’ sweet name ~ AMEN
