pray for our country

On Thursday, May 7, we celebrate the USA National Day of Prayer. Of course, every day should be a national day of prayer, but we have this day to prime the pump, so to speak. There is a National Prayer related to this day, which I want to make available to you to pray that day, and any other time:
   
Almighty God, King of Glory, we confess our sins and repent of our pride that sought our own glory and comfort, allowing evil to take root instead of Your fruit in our hearts, homes, culture and country. Please forgive us.
 
“Now with this declaration of rededication, we humble ourselves, pray and seek Your face, turning from our wicked ways, that You would heal our lives and our land. Please purify and renew our hearts with holy attributes, affections, attitudes and actions - to love you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
     
We give you glory as we repent and rededicate our lives and our nation to you. For 250 years, You have guarded and guided America in wisdom, grace, mercy and love. We praise and thank You for our Founding Fathers, for all who sought in fervent prayer throughout history and answered our call to defend justice and freedom, to protect and serve, preach and teach, innovate, communicate, learn, work, worship and establish our laws.
     
May your Kingdom come, and Your will be done in our lives, our families, the Church, education, business, military, government, arts, entertainment and media, as it is in Heaven. We prayerfully commit to ‘glorify God among the nations, seeking Him in all generations.’
