Dear Ones,
Hope you wake with a praying heart on this 73rd Annual National Day of Prayer. I just read Lynette Kettle’s prayer on Crosswalk.com and want to share it with you today. We have Bible study later so will incorporate this prayer also when we meet. Last night at church we spent the whole time together praying for our church, family, education, business, military, government, and media.
Dear Father,
We come to you as a nation, asking for Your mercy. As Proverbs 28:13 explains, “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” Help us, O Lord, as a country to humble ourselves before You, as James 4:10 instructs us to do. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.”With repentant hearts, we come before You for forgiveness. Examine our ways, Father, and help us to return to You, as Lamentations 3:40 urges, “Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.” Strengthen our leaders to resist and reject the temptation of corruption. Give them new hearts, like Ezekiel 36:26 describes, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

Like 2 Chronicles 7:14 urges, lead our national leaders and citizens to Salvation in Jesus Christ. “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Challenge for today: Spend some time praying for our nation and if possible, pray with others.
Blessings on your day and prayers and love, Judy
