Today's entry is not a post or article as usual, but it is more of a prayer. For the prayer of the righteous avails much .[James 5: 16 b] As I pray for my own country(America) I pray over yours as well. You see, I have learned over the years, that too easily our prayers can become a formality that self serves. What do I mean? Because life can become very chaotic, we can easily get overwhelmed and finding ourselves in a place where we are continuing to pray for ourselves and the situations that we are in, and becoming un-effective in prayer for anyone else. This is not what God our Father intended.
We as Christians are to be those who walk in victory, despite hard times and difficult circumstances. We can walk in Victory because Christ IS our victory. Our relationship with God ensures this, but that has to be complete truth on our end. He knows this all too well, but we must know it also.
My husband and I pray over this blog often. Every time I check in on the circulation of this site, numbers are not what is important but rather where it is reaching and circulating. Each time that one of these entries is opened up from a new country, we begin to pray not only for you where ever you are, but the country you are in as well as the people around you. We have so much more authority in the Kingdom of God where we live, than is often realized.
So as I pray this prayer over my nation, please pray it over yours and know that we are here praying it with you. Though we may never meet, God has connected us for a purpose. To see His Kingdom come in all the Earth!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I am thankful that You love us, and You know where each and everyone of us are. You are worthy oh God, of all of my praise, and I thank You Lord for my country. I love it dearly and I love my people. You have me here for a purpose and I know that it is not by accident. So I cry out to you on behalf of my people, my government and my land. Transform the lives of the people who live here. May they come to know you as their Lord and Savior. I pray that you protect its borders, keeping every Godly thing in, swiftly remove every ungodly thing out. Bring your strong right arm of protection down over those who love and worship You, and save those who don't. I align my prayers with Your Word and pray: May Your Kingdom come, may Your will be done.... in This Land! Have Your way oh God, in my beloved country. Bring Revival to my people!! May they learn and know of Your ways. As I stand in the gap and repent for the sins of my nation, forgive and abide in the townships, cities and states. Bring healing in every area that has been ravaged by anger, selfishness and deceit. Heal our lands oh God! There is no other god like You, no one can come close to You. You are the Alpha and Omega, our Beginning and our End. Bring Your Kingdom to this earth so that we can live out your purpose until You come again. May many of my people come to know You as their Lord and Savior.... Our Rescuer, Deliverer, our Mighty Fortress and Strong Tower. You are Everything and so much more!! Have Your way in my country oh God!!
It's is Jesus Mighty Name only that I can Pray........ Amen!
As much as I am determined to see God's Will be done, I do not only want to see it in my country, but I pray to see it in yours as well. Be Blessed everyone, and never stop seeking His face for your life and the lives of those around you !! In Jesus Name.
