Wednesday, Oct. 14th: Pray for First Responders including EMT, Fire and Police Psalm 22:19
Father we enter your courts today with thanksgiving. Thank You for all that You do for us, seen and unseen. Father, we pray today for New York, the state that leads the U.S. in so many different ways, from design to trends. Father, we pray for the governor of this state and the local officials first. Father, give them wisdom as they continue to be the center of attention throughout the world. Father, we pray for the heart of this multicultural epicenter to continue to be the heart of Liberty. We pray for the local state and city workers that tend to be on the front lines in every major disaster. Father, we pray for their protection, cover them as they go through their daily routine. Focus their minds on You, and not to be overcome by the cares of the world and allow distractions to pull them off course. Father, we pray for the local church. We pray that it can become a beacon of hope, just as the statute that sits on its shores. Father, I pray not only that it is a symbol but it becomes an icon for what America is today. Continue to remind the church of her purpose to draw the lost from the despair and hopelessness to a position of unity and love. Let love have it's perfect work in this time and once again we can realize we are nothing without You. Father, let it be not a church that just symbolizes what we have been called to but one that will walk into a role of leadership and guidance that will impact everything in its path. Father, let the bride of Your Son be the center of attention as it is on the wedding day. Let all eyes await the arrival of the bride of Christ as she is ushered into her moment of Glory. Let all eyes see the immaculate bride You have prepared for yourself without spot or wrinkle. As this bride comes to the groom let her be prepared for her new role to bring forth life and to nurture those who need You. Let the bride always be ready to give up her name and receive Your name. Father let it be so in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

Tuesday, Oct. 13th: Pray John 17 (The Lord’s Prayer)
Good morning Lord, we thank you for Your kindness and Your patience. We pray today for New Mexico, a state that was formed before the United States thirteen colonies. It was founded in 1610 as a Spanish colony. We pray for longevity of our country today as with this Land. We pray for the leaders of New Mexico and the church to establish stability. We pray for this area to prosper as it continues to show us how to stay the course. Father I pray this area will again lift up it's heart to a living God. Teach them to hear your voice. We pray that the senators and congressmen will come to a knowledge of the true heart of the Father. Father, I pray each city would flourish and from the richness of the land, it would allow the river of the Holy Spirit to flow through the area. Let the dry land begin to give up the dead bones of indecision, of promiscuity, of hatred and fear. Speak to those dry bones of New Mexico and tell it to live as you will to all the states. Allow us to shake off the bonds of insecurities that hold us prisoner and retard the progress as a people. Help us once again to see the promises that are for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Let us see through this land that although there seems to be obstacles that stand in our way nothing is impossible for our God. Let hope come to an area and a nation in despair and allow Your Spirit to once again teach and point us to Jesus. Father we repent for our nation and ask for mercy in the name of Jesus...amen Monday, Oct. 12th: Pray Jeremiah 42:1-6 over your State and Nation (Jeremiah’s Prayer)
Good morning, Father, we wake up this morning prepared for all You have planned for us. Help us realize no more or no less will be accomplished than You purposed and that we must be thankful for all that happens in this day. Today, we are praying for the state of New Jersey. We pray for this state leaders and the governor and the beautiful beaches all around. The true home to the ferry that takes us to Liberty Island. Father, we pray that liberty once again ring in the heart of the people of New Jersey. Remind us what true liberty is and how You freed us from sin and death. Father, as we ,across this nation, celebrate so many freedoms, let those of this state reflect on the cost of that liberty. Let them reflect on what it takes to maintain the liberty in a society today that has forgotten to love our neighbors. Father, we pray today for unity of the hearts of a nation under siege. We have forgotten our first love, so we ask that as You warned the church in Revelation, remind us to return to our first love. Keep our minds directly connected to Your heart and let us once again hear of the good things that You have set aside for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen Sunday, Oct. 11th: Pray Deuteronomy 32 over your State and Nation (Moses’s Prayer)
Good morning on another Lord's day, this morning we pray for the state of New Hampshire. This state was one of the original 13 colonies that struggled to form what we know today as the United States. Father, we pray for the leaders and families in this region that are struggling to survive. You have looked down on this nation and seen its struggles and You saw her struggling in the blood and You said for her to live. The struggle of identity, the struggle with moral values and the struggle with biblical principles. Father, speak life into this nation that is struggling to live and breathe life once again into the nostrils of a struggling country. Father, each attempt we make to do it ourselves, we fail. Forgive us for not coming to You first and depending on our own resources. As a nation we pray that we once again establish trust in one another. That we can learn to trust You. As the motto reads, "In God We Trust" let us once again look to that trust to lead us in a dark time. This will end the struggle as we trust You for our future and our children. We so often want to do things our way but that trust allows us to depend upon You and end the struggles we have with one another. Father, we know that as goes the leaders, so goes the nation. Give us Godly men and women who trust You, that have a moral fiber that leads us away from these desperate times. Father help us and guide us to the place of resting in You. We pray for those nations we have an alliance with that are Godly nations that experience the same struggles. We pray for their welfare and leadership and resolve to embrace change. Once again, we thank You for hearing us and answering your children in the loving name of Jesus... amen Saturday, Oct. 10th: Pray 2 Chronicles 6 over your State and Nation (Solomon’s Prayer)
Great is thy faithfulness or For our Father. Father this morning, as we are praying for Nevada, we are reminded of Your faithfulness. Nevada is known to some as the entertainment capital of the world and to others as sin city. Nevada is the largest Gold producing state in the union and only second behind South Africa. Father, You set within this land wealth that men have tried to receive for years. Father, the true wealth is not in the deposits under the earth, but the deposits You have placed to walk on the earth. Father, let us be mindful as we have been given resources and that those resources are not our gods. As we pray for Nevada, remind the leaders of this state the true riches are the people you place within the borders of any region. Let us not squander the true wealth and overlook the blessings that You have deposited in our nation. Father, as we pray together today, truly let the church take a role in the establishment of a nation that had You as its focus and not the riches that will not last through eternity. We pray that You give the leaders a heart to unify and not gamble away our future generation. We pray godly offspring would rise up in this time of desperation and lead this state back to the heart of the Father. We pray the heart of the fathers would be returned to the children. In this time of testing we would remember that we were created to worship You. We repent of our self determination to make our own gods of gold, as did the children of Israel, and not wait on You to give us the direction necessary to lead us from this wilderness. Father, we pray the spirit of unity upon your people that we may rise up and erect altars not to false gods of mamon but to a greater purpose of brotherly love to give us peace. Teach us how to love one another and let revival again come to a people who have forgotten who they are. Father our identity is found in You and any other identity is a false one, that makes us imposters. We pray that You unmask this nation and allow her to return to the identity that You purpose for her. Let the dry bones arise from the floor of Death Valley and hope settle, an altar of incense in Diamond Mountains, Nevada. Father let the fire never go out and let it burn hot in this place. In the name of Jesus, amen. Friday, Oct. 9th: Pray 2 Kings 19:14-19 over your State and Nation (Hezekiah’s Prayer)
Good morning Holy Spirit. Another day we face with enthusiasm as we seek Your face this morning. Forgive us for not recognizing your presence all around us each day. Father, today we pray for the state of Nebraska. The state motto is "equality before the Law". Father, we pray that there is true equality in the heart of the leaders in this state. We pray that the state representatives will be equal in its dealing with all of your children. We pray for equal rights for the children, widows and orphans. We pray the federal leaders will be just and consistent in their dealings throughout and lead America to a state of equality as well. As we pray for Nebraska we are ever so mindful of the very nature of what this country was established for, the belief that a nation could have freedom OF religion not FROM religion. That gave opportunity to those who had, as well as those who did not have. How the rich and poor came in their huddle masses to a place that promised a new opportunity to anyone who desired a change. So Father let the winds of change begin to blow in America like a category 5 hurricane. Let swift change come to a nation in which its very foundation is crying for a new start. Let the winds blow the past hurts and unforgiveness away. Let the winds blow the roof off of glass ceilings that have restricted many in the past. Let the winds blow that which is not stable and the houses that were not established on solid rock be blown away. Father, today as we pray for our nation, let us not look only to the past, but let us also look forward for the next generation. Let the heart of our children and our children's children be drawn toward the things of God. Let us no longer have a form of religion that lacks the power but a fulfillment of the Spirit of a living God blowing across the earth reforming and reshaping the thoughts of all within the borders. Let it be once again that You show yourself real in a nation that is destined to lead, if we repent and that the lampstand, we once held brightly, will again glow with intensity to show the way to the lost, to the rejected, to the wounded, and to those who have a desire for the equality that can only be found by loving our neighbor as ourselves. Today let us remember, as we think of judging others, the loving words of Jesus to the accusers of the woman caught in the act of adultery. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Today in the name of Jesus, we once again speak equality to the United States. We seal these petitions in the name of Jesus.. Amen. Thursday, Oct. 8th: Pray Nehemiah 1 over your State and Nation (Nehemiah’s Prayer)
Good morning Father we wake up this morning truly with expectations and hope as You have again brought us through the night into a new day. Father, thank You as we began our prayer today for Montana. A state with vast mountains and glaciers that remind us of your hands of love, carving a picture that shows Your great attention to detail. Today, even greater, we pray for our leaders of this state. Touch their hearts and remind them that you raise up one and set down another. Remind them that they are but mere men and the nation they help to rule over does not belong to them but it belong to You. We are but mere stewards of the things on this earth. Father, we pray for the church leaders to have a foundation in the word, not moved by circumstances, but focused on the will of the one who has power over life and death. Join the leaders together, that again, their focus would be the prayer you prayed in the garden "nevertheless not my will but Your will be done". Help us to overcome the desire to impose our will on those around us and forever look to the author and finisher of our faith for direction and guidance. You said the steps of a good or righteous man is ordered of the Lord. So guide our steps to create a nation after Your own heart. Even as we were created in Your image and you gave us the gift of creativity, let us use this gift to further the Kingdom. Father, in this divisive time help us to unite and overcome the political differences that has so divided this nation. Father, help us not put our political desires ahead of the Kingdom desires. Lift us from the pit of desperation to the place of peace. Father let us not lose hope because we know "Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life". Let us make the right choice and desire to eat from the tree of life, forsaking the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Let hope arise to greet us each morning as we face the various trials we must go through, knowing that we don't have to fight this battle. Teach us how to fight the battles that we must fight. Let the fire of the altars in our families begin to combine around this nation and as prayer is offered up the family altars ignite the nation altars. Let America, once again, regain and lead and the prayers of the saints of old be fulfilled, by again allowing your presence to be with us. Father I pray for our brothers and sisters without ceasing until we posses the promises of heaven. We pray in JESUS NAME. AMEN Wednesday, Oct. 7th: Pray Daniel 9 over your State and Nation (Daniel’s Prayer)
Lord we are alive and well and we thank You for giving Your angels charge over us. We pray for the representatives from the state of Missouri. Father, this is called the show me state and like Thomas, show this state Your love and Your redemptive power. Let the cry of the state be: to show me the strength of unity, show me the saving grace of the Cross, show me that we can make a difference. Father, the cry of the leaders of this state, both governmental and church, is to show us the heart of being more like you. I hear a cry from heaven and a voice saying SHOW ME your repentance, SHOW ME YOUR humility, SHOW ME you are willing to turn from your wicked ways and then I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND. Father we need a land that is healed from sexual immorality, from drugs, from the wages of sin. Help us Holy Spirit to return to the Father and watch this land begin the healing process. Let it begin in us and spread as we watch the Kingdom of God manifest on the earth. Father help us today again just believe You are able and not doubt what You have promised. Give us the faith, we once had, to receive your love and wait patiently. Because at the twinkling of an eye it will be done. Thank You again as we pray in the precious name of Jesus...amen Tuesday, Oct. 6th: Pray for businesses Proverbs 16:3
Good morning Father. Today we want to began thanking you for having a place to lay our head and food on our tables, shoes on our feet and friends we can love and depend on. The state we lift before You will be Mississippi. Father we pray to settle this land that carries the same name as a mighty river. Let the leaders flow as one in compassion for unity of our nation like that great river. Let the church leaders and congregations surrender to Your will and to repent of our wrong thoughts . To humble themselves for a dedication to a greater purpose. Remove selfish thoughts from within our hearts and malice and prejudice from our minds. Let the world witness what You intended for this great state from the beginning. As the Mississippi River moves from the north of America to the south, bringing a freshness and minerals to deposit, so let there be a movement in the nation to flow as one, supplying others with what is needed. Let this state be a melting pot of ideas to motivate a new generation in the promises of God. Guide the senate, the federal judges and the city officials to walk in one accord to bring justice for all. Father we realize how short sighted we have become and know You desire more for us. We have traveled in this wilderness long enough now; allow us to arise and be strong in the Lord. Let us arise to a hope and a future. Let us arise to a destiny set before the foundation of the earth. Let us arise to hope that presents itself every day, all we have to do is recognize that it is there. Let us arise to a greater generation of people that have vision hope and wisdom to enter into the promises of God. LET US ARISE to a great nation called the United States that will help others arise to a knowledge of our Lord and Savior. Father we seal this prayer believing it will happen in the name of Jesus..amen Monday, Oct. 5th: Pray for National Unity John 17:21
Good morning Lord, today we pray for the state of Minnesota. We pray for the safety of the people in this region. We repent for being indecisive and unmotivated to cry out for the healing of our land. This day, we pray for the civil, judicial, and federal employees of this state and every state. Give them the heart to fight against corruption in high places. Let this state lead the fight against the complacent nature of our hearts. Let this state again become the bread and butter of America. You have blessed this state with many lakes, over 10,000. So as a source of water, let the rivers flow, of the Holy Spirit, to each area of our country. Let the land cry out for the richness of a living God. I pray the church leaders hear the running waters of the Spirit and begin to lead the state in repentance and obedience. Father, as a border state let again the revival that starts here, flow into the borders of our neighbor Canada. Establish the gates, if this altar, that allows in only that which is profitable for the heart of our nation and as well only allow the goodness to flow out through the gates of our northern borders. Let the repentance spread like wildfire through the gates and let peace flow like a river. Father, I pray we see as You see the condition and the waters of a nation that has been polluted. Clean up the waters of our heart and bring us back to the gardens of Your heart. Lead us beside the still waters and give us rest for our souls. Because You are our shepherd. Thank You once again for healing the waters of this land. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth we offer up these prayers... amen |
