America has been greatly blessed by God and has stood as the greatest country in the history of the world for over 200 years. America has many foreign and domestic enemies that are seeking her destruction.
This thread is a daily call and reminder for people of faith who believe in God and in the power of prayer to make a commitment to intercede for America at this critical time in her history.
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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

May God Bless America.
FRmail me to get on or off the Daily "Pray For America" ping list.
I pray for godly men and women to rise up with a desire for leadership. Give them conviction to stand up to those that are striving to overturn the Constitution of this great land. Open our eyes, Lord, that we may know truth and we may see clearly which paths to follow in our local and state elections.
I pray that our children will continue to be able to enjoy the liberties we often have taken for granted. Thank you for our freedom to worship you. May we always enjoy and treasure that freedom.
Almighty God and Creator, You are the Father of all people on the earth. Guide, I pray, all the nations and their leaders in the ways of justice and peace. Protect us from the evils of injustice, prejudice, exploitation, conflict and war. Help us to put away mistrust, bitterness and hatred. Teach us to cease the using of implements of war.
Lead us to find peace, respect and freedom. Unite us in the making and sharing of tools of peace against ignorance, poverty, disease and oppression. Grant that we may grow in harmony and friendship as brothers and sisters created in Your image, to Your honor and praise. Amen.
Thank you for that beautiful picture and prayer and this thread....more and more, every day, current events bring us to the throne of grace where we will find God’s provision for every eventuality and need and worry....
God is at work in this nation and in all nations around the world....Yet we see so many of the freedoms we have enjoyed all our lives dwindling and now threatened with total enslavement by the totalitarians within and without our nation.
The enemy is at work also.
SOVERIEGN GOD WE HUMBLY PRAY THAT YOU WILL HEAR OUR CRIES FOR YOUR MIGHTY HELP FOR OUR NATION...Apart from you, Oh Lord, we shall perish as a free nation.
We submit our wills to thine, Oh Lord....we confess our sins....we ask and claim your forgiveness and cleansing of all our pride, all our selfishness and greed, all our faithlessness, all our neglect of doing your will, all our refusals to turn to YOU when you plead with us to do so through both the events of our lives but also of the life of this country.
Oh, Father, you tell us - we have not because we ask not.
We come to You now, humbly asking as you entreat us to do, believing that you hear our cries, our prayers and that you are even now in action on behalf of all who call on your name in faith and repentance.
Yes, Lord, we are selfish - we cherish freedom for ourselves...but we also long for the blessings of these God given and blood bought freedoms to be imparted to the next generation and beyond....both in this country and in all countries -— because the hunger to live in freedom is strong in every beating heart....
Father, YOU have been our ultimate protector and deliverer in this nation. Though we have not deserved your powerful interventions on our behalf....we humbly beseech that your protection and deliverance come into this year’s election events and beyond....and we trust that You have already been at work in this mighty battle for the soul of this country.
We pray that you, almighty God, our strong deliverer, will rise up and see YOUR enemies scattered....as we trust You to hear our cries and to act on them. Not for our sakes but for your mighty name to be praised! and for the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to continue to go out freely in this land and beyond....being the power unto salvation for all who hear your Word and believe!
The battle is in the heavenlies and in the hearts of men and women....both are domains where we are powerless to do anything - except to PRAY believing, trusting, armed with Thy Word, and covered with The Armor you have provided for our protection.
Let each one become willing vessels through whom the TReasure of the Life of Jesus Christ might go forth converting souls, delivering minds and hearts and bodies from any and all bondage, comforting those who mourn, and binding up the broken hearted, and briging sight to the blind and FREEDOM to the captives and those dwelling in darkest dungeons of enslavement....
We are the earthen vessels only. Our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose name EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue shall confess as Lord of Lords and King of Kings....is the treasure.
Our nation has been a treasure for its citizens and for this world. We confess it is no longer that way for so many...but we thank you for the opportunity this nation has had to bring liberty to the captives in nations dominated by evil - as in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
Thank you for the victory our President, our troops, and weaponry have brought us there - but our cause for freedom has been the real power behind the triumph.
May more and more in this country and abroad come to understand - soon - the great and glorious blessings of being able to live in freedom - free enterprise, freedom to speak out, to worship, to defend ourselves, to work for and own property, and to give from what we have to those in need....
So tht we will NOT, by YOUR MIGHTY POWER, let this free nation slide into deep and dark bondage and enslavement.
In the name of Jesus Christ - our mighty Savior and Lord - AMen.
Psalm 33 (New International Version)
1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars [a] ;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth-
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.
Thank you! EXACTLY what I needed to read tonight - and what our nation needs tonight! AMEN AND AMEN!
How powerful and true!
His plans stand against the globalists. Praise and honor and glory.
That verse is THE VERSE I have been wanting to locate because the words of that verse have been in my mind for several weeks - but I could not pin down the reference....so thank you for posting it here!
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Yes, Amen, may it so be, that America’s God is the One True and Living Lord God!
Amen and Amen again.
