Prayers for America

[Anonymous Aristotle]

Imagine if as many prayers were entered here as critiques against America, our government, and our people are in other threads. And by those who claim to be American no less. 

God bless America. And keep her safe from all who are her enemies. Both foreign and domestic.

I have a vey hard time with God bless America. Would God say bless our laws that consent to gay marriage. I see praying for the lost to come out of the darkness to walk in the light of Jesus. In  Gods word we learn of two distinctions of the world being light and darkness.  Those who are of the light walk in the light  of Jesus for He is the light that saves us. and there is the rest which is the darkness being the unbelieving world. As it is the world so also it is with America. There are those of the light and those live in the darkness. How can we say God bless America.  There is a spirit  that exists and that is the spirit of antichrist in the world. It is not contained to one nation,  That which resists the light of Christ and walk  independent of Christ. This is called in scripture  Babylon.   Could we say God bless Babylon or God bless the darkness? The church is the only light that shines into the darkness of this fallen world I pray for the church and the suffering of the innocent.

Praying~!

May The Love Of Christ
Blaze Forth For Sea To Shining Sea

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44

In Jesus' Holy Name
Amen

Thank You LORD For Answered Prayer

[Tigger56]

There is great need for prayer for this nation and the nations of this earth. The greatest thing would be that all who believe in the Lord could be of united light, but at this time the light is not united and are much divided due to different doctrines and philosophies. But I do see the darkness is united. There is no coincidence that you see the same garbage being spewed forth from each major network, or see the same talking points among so many of the politicians. 

Our church has joined in united prayer each morning at 9:00 A.M. as there is power in united prayer. We are praying based on 3 things. Since we don't yet see a uniting of light but do see the uniting of darkness, we pray against this.

Our first prayer is based upon Psalms 55:9, "Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city." We are praying for division within the darkness, confusion to their counsel, dividing their speech, their opinions, their counsel and their votes. That there be disagreement in their focus and message.

Prayer two: Proverbs 12:17-19, "The truth teller speaks what is right, but the false witness speaks what is deceitful. Some speak rashly like the cutting of a sword, but what the wise say promotes healing. A truthful saying is trusted forever, but the liar only for a moment." Truth is established for it changes not but lies are in the moment. We are praying that truth prevail and be established. There are those in our nation that see the lies and the actions of evil. We are praying that truth prevail, that truth will be seen, heard and acted upon both in word and action, by standing up for truth, having the courage to declare truth and to vote for truth.

Prayer three:  Isaiah 22:12, " And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth."

Sackcloth, ashes, fasting and the shaving of the head were actions of the pious and righteous in times of great sorrow. No one expects that of people in the day and age, though fasting is still a good thing to do. But those who walk with the Lord need to be crying out. Christians need to be praying with humbled hearts and hearts of repentance for our nation is in great danger. Darkness is not going away but this election is of great importance at this time of our history as a nation. Our nation is in danger as are all Christians, for darkness will not relent and we are in a battle that will far exceed this election.
