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

Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matt. 22:37
First things First. Holy and Blessed Savior. The heart of our Nation has been: LOVE GOD, LOVE FAMILY, LOVE COUNTY.
Your WORD says: My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways. (Prov. 23:26) Bring us back LORD, to where it started. Although our eyes and our hopes can be diverted toward those who are governing our Nation now, for which we are grateful, may we never forget that the GREATEST command and the biggest blessing that we could ever receive is the LOVE OF GOD. For only then can we even begin to obey the Greatest Command – for indeed WE LOVE because YOU LOVED US FIRST. May we, Dear GOD, remember that, and pray each day: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 51:10)
Dear JESUS, YOU remind us that our souls have eternal value. YOUR WORD says: Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die. (Ezekiel 18:4) Thank YOU JESUS for redeeming our souls. Not corporately, not familial, not nationally, but individually. The day YOU redeemed our soul is the day we are capable of LOVING GOD with all our soul. How can we thank you enough for that. We pray for children.
Dear JESUS, this is the hardest. Love the LORD with all Your MIND. YOU instruct us to: Not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2) How difficult this is. Our minds never stop, not even when we sleep. But we thank you for YOUR WORD, the blessed Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. That all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:15-17). We pray for our Leaders. May they be equipped, teachable, open, receptive, and willing to submit to YOUR MIGHTY WISDOM. That we, as a people, as a Nation, may be pleasing in YOUR sight.
When these things are in order, only then can our Nation bless and care for each other. May the SPIRIT of the LORD do a mighty work as any and all you are willing will yield to HIS MIGHTY POWER to do for us, what we could never do for ourselves. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

Psalm 107 (17-43)
17 Some were sick* through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities endured affliction;
18 they loathed any kind of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress;
20 he sent out his word and healed them,
and delivered them from destruction.
21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
22 And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices,
and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.
23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the mighty waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their calamity;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards,
and were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out from their distress;
29 he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.
36 And there he lets the hungry live,
and they establish a town to live in;
37 they sow fields, and plant vineyards,
and get a fruitful yield.
38 By his blessing they multiply greatly,
and he does not let their cattle decrease.
39 When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,
40 he pours contempt on princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
41 but he raises up the needy out of distress,
and makes their families like flocks.
42 The upright see it and are glad;
and all wickedness stops its mouth.
43 Let those who are wise give heed to these things,
and consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
Amen
