Closing Prayer - National Day of Prayer 2016
Heavenly Father, in closing, once again we want to acknowledge Your sovereignty over all creation. And Your name Father, is a name that is above every name and we came here this morning to praise Your precious name. May we ever be conscious of the fact that as Christians we represent Your name. As Christians we carry Your name everywhere we go and proclaim it in everything we do. May Your name forever be praised!
Heavenly Father, have mercy on Your children. We raise our voice and repent for our sin against You. Sin that has caused Your name to be profaned amongst the people of this nation. Our country is sliding down a slope of hopelessness, frantically grabbing at any small branch or rock protruding out of this merciless cliff. Father, if America is going to change its current trajectory toward full scale destruction, we recognize that as Believers, we must change. Pour Your grace out on us and stir our hearts to obey You, so that this nation will know for sure that there is a God in heaven and we are Your children. May our love for each other, as believers in Christ, be evident to all, not just with words, but with deeds?
Again, in closing, we recognize that You are sovereign and we the redeemed of Christ, must take responsibility for the spiritual condition of this nation. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that nothing is impossible for You. And You want believers who will fight, standing strong and courageous, defending liberty and justice for all, empowered by God the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter who is in the White House, You are looking for men through whom You can show Yourself strong! "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD like channels of water, He turns it wherever He wants." (Proverbs 21:1)
Father, we know that You will turn the hearts of government officials, if You can find some believers who will fight for holiness. Christians who are not intimidated by the enemy, but stand strong and courageous, locked arm and arm, full of the Holy Spirit, focused on the task at hand and not distracted by false or counterfeit promises of the enemy! To this end we give You praise. In the precious name of Your Son Jesus Christ, all God’s children said Amen!
