2018 NATIONAL PRAYER FOR AMERICA

Our Dear Heavenly Father, while we come to You in complete humility, we also come to You with boldness in the authoritative name of Your One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In Jesus’ name, fill us now with Your Holy Spirit and lead us as we pray in Jesus’ name for America.

Oh God, we are burdened for our nation today. We turn from the sins that we have committed against your Word and your Name. We turn away from our contentious words and ways toward one another that has led us to division and polarization. We turn away from our disrespect and lack of dignity toward each other, and we turn away from our continual devaluation of all human life from the womb until death in this world. We also turn away from and refuse to participate in skepticism, criticism, and cynicism in our nation. We turn away from anything that divides us, and we run toward the gospel of Jesus Christ that is the only thing that has the power to unite us together.

Lord, in this critical hour in our nation, we pray for unity in America. Only You can bring unity, harmony, and oneness in America. As your Word calls us in Ephesians 4:3, “Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace”, we ask You to empower us to make every effort to live in unity, to call for unity, and to forward unity in America continually.

We pray for the churches in America to unify in Jesus Christ and to pray as one unified spiritual family for America. May Your Church pray for America passionately, perpetually, privately, and publicly.

We pray for God’s power to unify families, workplaces, communities, and cities in America. By Your Spirit, lead us to forgiveness, reconciliation, healing, and unity.

We pray for people of all ethnicities and races in America to come together as one, living in peace and unity together. Oh Lord, because each of us is created in Your image, please give us the courage to stand against all racial and ethnic division, denouncing it as evil and sinful, while simultaneously coming together in unity with all persons knowing this is God’s will for us.

We pray in unity for the security of our nation. We ask You to preserve the United States of America from the forces of evil that are threatening our lives and our future. God, please guard all persons in public and private settings from anyone or anything that desires to harm us or take our lives. Our future is in Your hands.

We agree clearly, unite visibly, and pray extraordinarily for the next Great Spiritual Awakening in America. Oh Lord, wake up Your church spiritually and convict Your people to agree clearly, unite visibly, and pray extraordinarily until the next Great Spiritual Awakening occurs in our generation.

Oh God, we stand together upon Your words in Psalm 133:1, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony.” Through Jesus’ name and by the Holy Spirit’s power, we pray for all Americans to unify and to live together in unity.

In the mighty and majestic name of Jesus Christ who is the Only Savior and the Only Hope in this world, we pray. Amen.

    This is a truly wonderful prayer, and everything prayed for is dearly needed by the Church and this country.

    My favorite part is, “We turn away from anything that divides us, and we turn toward the gospel of Jesus Christ that is the only thing that has the power to unite us together”, which is the part that could be prayed by every church of regenerated, repentant believers in Jesus in this nation, as well as anywhere in the world. This is the specific unity of the Church from which all other unity flows that has any eternal value that the world may believe God sent Jesus.

    When we pray it, I urge all regenerated believers to concentrate on how to be more specific about praying in the name of Jesus. Right now, over a dozen different Christian denominations, worldwide, are being torn apart by internal groups seeking formal church approval of sexual immorality and false marriage of same-sex couples, which was unheard of in any Christian denomination fifty years ago.

    Until we make the Day of Prayer be known specifically for unity in the name of Jesus for “repentance and forgiveness of sins”, as opposed to ‘non-repentance and redefinition of sins’ now being sought for same-sex immoral acts, we cannot pray together in the name of Jesus with “every church in America”, if it includes those who don’t hallow His name, and regard it as holy. God wants those errant, splinter groups that have strayed out of the name of Jesus to repent and return to the same holiness of Jesus we all get credited with when we live in faith of His name for repentance and forgiveness of sins, so we can get what we pray for united in the name of Jesus.
    “46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lu 24:46-47 NIV)
    “13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (Joh 14:13-14 NIV)
    “But I withheld my hand, and for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.” (Eze 20:22 NIV)
    “”‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel.” (Eze 39:7 NIV)
    “"This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” (Mt 6:9 NIV)

    God is still on the throne. Blessed controller over all things. King above all kings and Leader above all leaders. I pray that this divided country will know Him and His Blessings. Only God will be able to unify this country and if His people will humbly pray He will heal our land.
  • commented 2017-05-06 06:46:27 -0600
    This prayer is not necessary because as a nation, we are not all in agreement as to the need for a forced particular “faith” system. Prayer is a private personal matter as the Gospel of Mathew points out. You are condemning us all with this prideful assumption that you can force a Soul confession of a Nation. How arrogant!
  • commented 2017-05-05 22:00:59 -0600
    Christians have awakened to the fact that we must have a Gideon anointing…with prayer and the Word of God in one hand and active participation in our cities and towns in the other. Years ago, we naively thought that all we had to do was vote and play fair…and everyone would respect our votes. Now, it is clear that we should never rest. We must pray on the National Day of Prayer and EVERY day. Our nation must respect other religions ……but Christians must also demand that their relationship with Jesus and the values we have as a result…be respected too.

    I agree that this is sad. This is a nation permitting freedom of religion, not a Christian (or other faith) Nation. Why do we try to pollute the Church with politics and divide the nation by religion?
  • commented 2017-05-05 19:15:44 -0600
    So sad reading the commentaries here. It is no wonder that President Trump’s lies and cruelties to those who may be different than us resonates with these people. They have been living a lie, an institutional lie, that has and is causing horrible injustices here and around the world. In my humble opinion, this is not what Jesus had in mind.

    Yes, Father God have mercy on Your children. We know You love each and every one of us regardless of what we have done when we come to You, ask forgiveness and seek to do Your will. That is my prayer for our segmented country Father. You are Blessed controller over all things, heal our land, soften hardened hearts and help the blind see Your truth, light, righteousness, goodness, purity all for Your glory less of us and more of You. In Jesus’ name. Amen

    Dear Abba Father:
    Please hear the prayers of your people. Remove our hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh ready to recognize you for who you are and thank Jesus humbly for redeeming us in his blood that we may have life everlasting. Turn us back to you Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit. Not because we deserve it but because of your mercy, abundant love, grace, and righteousness. In Jesus’s name we pray, AMEN

    Dear Lord, today I seek your help along with your mercy and forgiveness to give me clear direction of what your purposes are in my life. Where should I go, to whom should I speak, who needs to hear of the hope you have entrusted to me by the infilling of your spirit since I trusted you as Savior, thru repentance and new birth? Thank you Lord Jesus for rescuing me and making me a new creation with new wants and desires, a magnificent ‘do over’. Help me do my part to intercede for our nation, our land, our legacy nationally, in my state, in my city, my community, my neighborhood. Your faithfulness for over 40 years in my life gives me confidence you will heal our land once again not because we are special but because you are loving and merciful and kind.

    “Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
  • commented 2017-05-04 07:28:41 -0600
    Agreeing in prayer for healing in USA. May evil be exposed, rebuked and bound up by the power of God. May our Lord Jesus Christ be lifted up and given the honor He is due thru changed lives for our Father’s service.
  • commented 2017-05-04 06:52:33 -0600
    I prayed aloud in agreement with you. God will never leave us nor forsake us. God bless America and those who follow the truth of Jesus Christ.

    if we would follow Jesus’s guidelines for prayer we will profound goodness from God’s heart. Acknowledge.
    God’s Holiness and His Sovereign Rule over the affairs of mankind, Acknowledge our sinfulness and forgive those who have sinned against us. Exalt and praise him for His power and glory now and forevermore. The our National Day of Prayer would be meaningful to our National Life.
