Lord, on a day when others gather to lift up their god before our
nation, we lift You up as the one true God, creator of all things,
who reigns and rules forever and ever and there is no end to Your
kingdom. We exalt You today Lord as the author of life, and redeemer
of our souls. You are holy and just, and there is no one else like
You. Your name is worthy to be praised forever and ever, and at the
sound of Your name all heaven bows down to worship.
On a day when others call on their god, we call on You Lord, the
One God who hears and answers, the One who judges all nations, and
extends mercy to all who call upon Him. The One who stands
unchallenged in the heavens, who knows all the secrets of the
universe, and the smallest thought in our heart. To the One who is
high and lifted up above every other name that can ever be named, we
call on You Lord today.
And As those who have been redeemed by the death and resurrection
of Jesus, we ask that You would forgive us for not holding You in
the place of honor that You deserve in our lives, our families, and
our nation. Forgive us Lord for every time we have stepped back from
standing up for You, every time we have yielded to popular opinion
and denied that still small voice through which You guide us.
Forgive us Lord for not being the moral compass that those around us
so desperately need. Forgive us Lord for not keeping this nation,
that You have so richly blessed, as One Nation Under You. We are
deeply sorry.
Lord, You have promised that You would give grace to the humble.
As I humble myself before You now I ask for the grace I need to be
different. To step out of the crowd and stand unafraid for Your
name's sake. To reject the empty values pushed upon me by the media,
and live out the divene destiny You have for me. Lord help me to be
the One Person Under God that You have called me to be.
I also ask Lord that You would extend Your septer of mercy over
our nation, forgive us Lord for the many wrongs we have done, for
corruption and greed, immorality and squandering Your blesses. We
need a transformation Lord, and I'm asking that You would pour down
upon our nation mercy and forgiveness. Break down the principalities
and powers that stand against Your desires for our nation. We need
Your help Lord, and there is no other God like You who rides across
the heavens to come to our aid. Ride Lord, Ride, for we need You
like never before. We need You in our families, our businesses, our
churches, our government. We need You Lord, and nothing else will
do.
Let the sound of Your redeeming love and power blow across our
land. Call back to life, those things we have let die, and restore
to us Lord that which we have lost. Bless our nation once again Lord
that we might be a place where Your name is lifted up higher than
any other name. Where Your blessings flow to us, and through us, and
Your Good News goes forth to all people. In Jesus name, Amen.
"Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name
under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12
(His name is Jesus)

P.S. Please pass this on to others, and maybe consider praying
over our nation each Friday, which is the Muslim day of prayer.
