he is a new creature;
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
II Corinthians 5:17

The beauty of springtime reminds us of You, our Creator, and we thank You that You make all things new and beautiful because of the finished work of the Cross. Thank You that old things are passed away, and that we become new creatures through Jesus Christ. Lord, You are the wonderful God Who helps us to grow in grace and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. You help us to grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with You our God, and with man. Lord, we bless You this day and praise You for Your faithful ways.
Father, our need for repentance as a nation has never been greater. We are in tremendous jeopardy, Lord, because we have lost our way. We ask You to forgive us for the sins of apathy, of abortion, adultery, of homosexuality, and most of all for placing other gods before You. We ask You to forgive us for lukewarm attitudes of complacency. Father, we pray for Your mercy and ask You to guide our nation back to You.
We ask Your blessings upon our military men and women, Father. We thank You that You neither slumber nor sleep. You are their Keeper, their Shade upon their right hand. Please preserve them from all evil as You guard their souls. We ask for special mercies for the persecuted church in all areas of the world. Father, may all that is hidden be revealed and may You avenge every wrongful death.
We ask You to help our nation to pray for Israel, to defend her, and to bless her. Help us to support Your first chosen ones in every way.
Father, we remain confident that You will perfect that which concerns us. Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. You will not forsake the works of Your own hands. Blessed are You, dear God, and great is Your faithfulness. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
