I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

FATHER GOD,As we celebrate Independence Day, bring to our remembrance the sacrifice made by our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women who gave their all for the sake of freedom and religious liberty. Liberty is never free. For many the love of country and freedom became the ultimate sacrifice.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13)We give thanks that America was founded upon Your edicts and that IN GOD WE TRUST is our nation’s motto. There is no freedom except through CHRIST - for today and throughout eternity.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)Our nation is in the greatest peril it has ever experienced – tyranny from within. The foundation of every sector is crumbling by design. Pillars that safeguard our liberty have been hijacked by enemies of justice.
Justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. (Isaiah 59:14-15)LORD, as You look upon America’s broken Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media, have mercy upon us.
The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, He was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so, His own arm achieved salvation for Him, and His own righteousness sustained Him.He put on righteousness as His breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak. According to what they have done, so will He repay wrath to His enemies and retribution to His foes; He will repay the islands their due.
From the west, people will fear the Name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere His glory. For He will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along. (Isaiah 59:15-29)
May it be said Americans turned to You and in unity fought to defend the blessings of liberty against tyranny. Only You can save America. Our hope and trust are in You. Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.
(The following prayers are from Crosswalk.com) FOURTH OF JULY PRAYERS TO CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDANCE AND PRAY FOR AMERICA
Crosswalk Editorial Staff (2021)A FOURTH OF JULY PRAYER FOR OUR NATION Sovereign LORD, I lift up our nation to You. You have blessed us and established us since the beginning. You have been our shield and our covering of protection. You have made us a great nation on this earth.Our forefathers honored You on historical documents, solemn oaths and in courtrooms. Songs have been written proclaiming Your glory in our beautiful land. Your precepts have been the very foundation this country was built on. You have been our might, our justice, our freedom. and our victory.
We bow our knees and our hearts in thanksgiving to You for preserving us. We also bow with contrite hearts for not giving You the honor and praise You are due. For not walking in Your ways. Forgive us, LORD. Have mercy on us, most merciful FATHER. We have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly, and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances. (Daniel 9:5)
I lift up all who are in office in this country, all who are in positions of authority, and pray that You would protect them and give them wisdom, knowledge, and acute discernment for the jobs that they hold. I lift up our military, our intelligence agencies and all who are in law enforcement and pray Your protection over them. Establish their steps, LORD. Strengthen them and equip them. Bless them and their families.
FATHER, You alone are our hope and our future. Turn the hearts of Americans toward You. In Jesus' name, Amen. (by Lyn Cooke)
PATRIOTS PRAYER Thank You, LORD, for the men and women who gave their lives for the freedom of the republic in which we live today. Help me to be as bold and brave as they were when it is my turn to protect this land.In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.
PRAYER FOR A STRONG NATION Thank you that in our nation today, we are free to worship. We are free to pray. We are free to read your Word. We are free to speak. We are free to share. For this, we are incredibly grateful.
Yet, we understand how quickly these freedoms can be taken away. Give us an increased awareness of the spiritual battle we’re in. Help us to stand strong in You and for Your purposes.
Thank You that as believers, we can be assured, You will never leave us, and are with us always, in this life, and the next. Thank you for Your truth that says, who the SON sets free is free indeed! We know that in You alone, true freedom is found.
In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen. (by Debbie McDaniel)
Dear GOD,Thank You for Your great power. We praise You for Your Truth. We’re grateful that You have set us free from the clutching grasp of sin and death.
Would You be with Your people, extending Your grace, granting Your freedom, providing Your protection, and empowering with Your strength. We ask that You'd bring about an awakening of Your presence as never seen before. We ask that Your Name be proclaimed, that all plans to silence the Name of JESUS would be thwarted and crushed.
We pray that many would come to know You as LORD and SAVIOR, we pray that many would see Your Light, that You would open blind eyes and release those still imprisoned.
We pray that You would unify Your people for the glory of Your Name, that all who call themselves Christians would rise up, believing Your great Truth. Wake us up LORD! Remind us to live aware, to redeem the time, to listen to your words, to be willing to make a difference in this land.
We pray for all those in authority, that You would give them Your wisdom and discernment as they lead. We ask that You appoint strong, faithful men and women to serve this nation and our people.
We pray for Your great healing on our land. Shine Your face on us dear GOD. We need You now, more than ever before. Our times are in Your hands.
Thank you that You are rich in mercy and full of grace. Thank You that You are forgiving and merciful. Thank You that You are strong and mighty. Thank You that You are for us and that You fight for us still today.
Bring honor to Your Name, Oh LORD, for You alone are worthy. In the Powerful Name of JESUS we pray, Amen. (by Debbie McDaniel)

LORD… remind us today that You have shown us what is good in what You require of us; to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with our GOD.We ask that as a people, we may humble ourselves before You and seek Your will for our lives and for this great nation. Help us in our nation to work as never before to strengthen our families and to give our children hope and a moral foundation for the future. So may our desire be to serve You, and in so doing, serve one another.
This we pray in the Name of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen. (by Billy Graham)

Thank you, LORD, for the privilege of living in this great country where we have freedom to openly worship You. May we never take that privilege for granted, but always guard it and treasure it. May we not live in apathy to You but live in awe of your love and forgiveness freely poured out for us. Allow our light to shine brightly as our hearts turn to you.In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.(by Dena Johnson)

Lord, you’ve blessed this nation in countless ways and I thank you. Our beauty, our bounty, and our brotherhood are unmatched in human history. Help all Americans to return to their hard-working, innovative, Christian, and independent roots. Open the eyes of all Americans and immigrants to the true wonder of the American way of life. Let every American treasure faith, life, and liberty again. Make us one nation under God again!
Guard our military, police, and firefighters, and keep them safe from harm.
The good people of America, and the world, are struggling to remain true to you. Send your Spirit upon them like the dew fall and refresh their souls. Renew their strength. For the sake of the faithful, have mercy on humanity.
Strike down the treasonous, seditious, evil ones seeking to ruin this great nation. Thwart their plans, create disarray in their ranks, and reveal them for all to see. Expose the devil and his minions in this nation, and the entire world.
Prevent all harm to children and destroy those who seek to harm them. Protect the innocent. You know my heart, and my personal intentions. Have mercy and grant the wishes of my heart, despite my unworthiness. I ask all this in the name of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen to all!
and Amen!
To all -— Amen!
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 29
A Psalm of David.
1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,*
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
worship the Lord in holy splendour.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,*
and strips the forest bare;
and in his temple all say, ‘Glory!’
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace!
Dear Lord, we beseech Thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !
Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over Your children ! Send forth Your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !
AMEN !
Amen and thank you.
Amen to Every Word of your Beautiful, Anointed Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
