PRAYER for Our Nation
Declaration of Independence Signer
George Washington (1732-1799), 1st President of the United States
"Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government; and to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." --
This prayer of George Washington appears in St. Paul's Chapel in New York City.

Father God... I come before You humbly and ask You to provide a way out for a dear friend of this blog!
You are the author and finisher of our faith! You are her strength! You have a way of escape! You will not abandon her. You must rescue her today, this moment from the oevrwhelming exhaustion from her work! This has gone on far too long!It is a device of the enemy to wear her out and make her weary!
She is Your daughter and deserves so much more!
I hope that others will lift up this precious woman and cover her with Your love, surround her this day, keep her from being drained, give her Your strength, Your wisdom, Your direction...because enough is enough!
I serve notice to satan and tell him that he has no authority here.
This friend is a daughter of the King and you will not rob, steal or destroy her any longer...I bind this spirit of weariness and command you to take your harmful ways to the pit. I release the spirit of the living God with fresh strength, energy, direction and God's purpose and salvation for her in Jesus Name.
Dear God, I worship you and lift up my praise to you, my Creator and Sustainer. Thank you for showing me the things that bind me on this earth. Open my eyes that I may always be mindful of what may hold me in bondage. Help me to resist the things I should. Help me to steer clear of hazards and to draw strength from Your Holy Spirit when temptations are enticing me. Please help me to break free...and to experience total freedom in you. Thank you, my gracious God. In the name of my Savior I pray. Amen.
1 Samuel 12:23
Lord, I pray for each member of my family and for all of my friends and acquaintances, especially my sisters in Fearless Friday and blog land, to be blessed with peace, good health, provision, and a greater knowledge of You and Your Word. Help me to not be selfish or lazy in my praying. Show me whom else to pray for...there are so many needs. May I never sin against You by failing to pray for other people according to Your will.
I stand together for Angela and her family, Denise & her Lovebug and family, and all my precious people who link with FF... and the prayers requested in each one represent real people with real needs that I give to Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit! Intercessors or prayer warriors are hard to find that will openly share. I ask that You stir up a labor force of more to press in and lift up each other in prayer! I praise You!
I give You all the Thanks and I consider these answered and in Your hands according to Your will and plan, not mine. I pray by the spirit and know that You hear our cries to You on behalf of our blog family...we love You & trust in You to complete the good work in each one that You have begun...
Trusting & believing You,
one of your daughters...
Lord, I lift my sisters Peggy, and Angela up before Your throne. Please bless them in everyway today, and always. Release them from any bondage that they may be caught in. Do not allow satan to snare them in anyway. You are their guardian, and precious protector. I love You Lord. Amen
Dear heavenly Father, may this day be a gift that everyone opens up gently, and then begins to let the praise lift up to Your throne.You alone are worthy of all of our praise daily. May we never forget from where all of our blessings come. I love You Father. Amen
Father, I bring that prayer request to Your throne today:

DAILY MANNA for today:
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2:11-14 NIV
Heavenly Father...Thank You for the grace that brings salvation. Thank You that all have salvation available to them and we must offer the gift of salvation to all! Thank You for giving us Jesus, the gift of salvation and eternal life. May hearts be softened and more come to the understanding and realization of their personal need for our Savior Jesus Christ! May we say 'no' to ungodliness and worldly passions! May we live our lives before You, self-controlled, upright and godly. Teach us each step, refine us and help us to be holy & purified by Your Holy Fire.
Our hope is in You! We wait for the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ!
Thank You for redeeming us from ALL wickedness! We are Yours, we belong to You, we are Your very own and so are each of those in our homes and families, our households we proclaim are Yours! Purify Your children! May we be eager to do what is good!
Thank You for my sweet sisters Denise and Angela, warriors for Your Kingdom. May Your anointed oil fall over them, bringing healing and meeting them where and what they need to strengthen them everyday! Thank You for the sisters who stand together in prayer and encouragement! Thank You for Lynn & Dineen and their ministry at SUM.
Thank You for each one who helps us to thrive in our spiritual walk and our marriages. May we encourage each other to overcome & be strong in our daily battles! May we be empowered by the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit be more evidenced in our lives so that others may be won.
Bless You Father from whom all good things flow! Thank You so much! I sing praise & glory to You...and ask this all in Jesus precious name
another daughter,
Peggy
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. Ezekial 36:26(NIV)
Father,
Give a new heart and put a new spirit within me! Then I come humbly before You on behalf of my husband and ask that You remove from him his heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh in Jesus Name, I pray...
I ask this for each marriage Lord, that may be unequally yoked.
1 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives...7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect...
1 Peter 3 Living...
Help me to live according to Your Word! Give me more of Your grace!
Dear heavenly Father, I praise You for this beautiful new day. A day when we gather together at Your house to praise and worship You. May we sing and dance before You in adoration. I love You Father. Amen
Amen Denise...let's praise Him in song and dance!!! I'm with you...in spirit and truth, come let us adore the One we love and owe it all!
DAILY MANNA for today
...and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: 'Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.' Revelation 15:3-4 NIV
Great and marvelous are You, O LORD God Almighty! Wonderful are You in all You've done and do! You are just! Your ways are true! That we may come to You first before going it on our own. May we bring glory to Your Name! You bow to You, King of kings, the Holy One. All nations
come before You and worship You! May we have a united prayer and praise to You! Continue to be revealed to us. Your righteous acts are before us and Your Word leads us in Truth! You are an awesome God and oh so good!
We praise You! We give a shout of praise! We adore You! We thank You! We glorify Your Name! We LOVE You and thank You for the great love You give us, unfailing and unfathomable to the depth and unconditional love never ending! Pour out Your love on Your people! Draw us unto You & into Your Presence! As we dance, sing & worship You today, reveal Your self and Your will in power & glory!
This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad!
Let our lips and thoughts be only towards You and of You! In Jesus beloved Name, we pray...
Oh God, I know you love me. You have shown me in so many ways, the greatest being sacrificing your Son to become my Savior. I know you must be concerned about even the little things in my life, and you want to direct me in all my ways. Please forgive me when I don't listen and when I stumble and stray. Please, I'm asking you, to lead me by your Spirit today. Make me a blessing to you and to others. In the precious name of Jesus I pray...
God, your ways are not our ways. Sometimes we hurt and don't understand why. Sometimes it seems we cannot go on. But we know that your ways are much higher than ours. Help us to trust You, the God of the universe, as You orchestrate the events of life when they seem the darkest. Thank you, God.
Heavenly Father, Please show me the right paths you would have me follow. Sometimes, I'm not sure of the direction I should go. I stumble and run into roadblocks. I don't understand why things are not going the way I think they should. Help me to see how these roadblocks and detours are being used to redirect my life. I love you and want to follow you. Thank you for your promise that "all things work together for good to those who love the Lord."
