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)

ARE WE READY?
Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake & would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. (Matthew 24:42-44)
Dear Almighty and Everlasting Father, We humbly come before You giving thanks for Your Mercy, Grace and Unending Love, You are in total control. You are Absolutely Good. You knew the end from the beginning. Nothing escapes You. You told us that in the end times there would be tribulation, that good will be seen as evil and evil, good. It is too difficult to internalize what is taking place in this country, this world. . .what we do realize is that evil has taken a toe hold and many confessed believers have gone the way of the world and righteousness is not a virtue to be sought. You birthed this nation to evangelize the world but instead it has become a purveyor of filth, greed, and blasphemy.
May we heed Your Word, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
Although each of us bears some responsibility for the evil engulfing day to day living, we are painfully aware of the church’s role in our nation’s demise. We pray for an awakening of those under the leadership of lukewarm leaders who choose to refrain from being led by Holy Spirit in their teaching, preaching, and worship. We pray that those who find themselves under such leadership will immediately seek a church that has not and will not compromise Your Word.
Heavenly Father, we continue to pray against criminal intent & malfeasance by world leaders and even both political parties in our own country as well as our judicial system . . . that their ways are uncovered and true justice served. We ask for Your Hope, Your Protection, Your Guidance for those who have fallen victim to such malfeasance.
As we recognize Armed Forces Day, we ask that You direct the path of each service member as well as decisions made by military leaders. We pray for the those serving, their deployments, their families and also those veterans who still wear their patriotic duty proudly. We ask for Your Hand of Protection over our Commander in Chief, President Trump, Vice-President Vance and their families as well as those who are serving this country in the line of political fire by those who are against the principles upon which You birthed this nation.
May we continue to daily seek You, Holy Spirit, to guide our every path. Please put Your Fire within us to do what is necessary all across this land to witness to a lost and dying world, a hurting world that needs a Savior. Please cause a revival in the hearts and minds of every Christian . . . a revival that begins with a self-evaluation of what is personally being done with the time, gifts and talents You have given us. We pray that churches across this nation will become beacons of Your Light in their communities reigniting the passion to harvest unsaved souls for Your Kingdom.
Father God, help us as Christians across this nation remember that every time we leave our homes or churches we are entering Your Mission Field. It’s a fact we even enter the mission field while on the phone, handhelds and computers. We pray for those who have answered Your Call to be missionaries throughout the world.
Please keep those Divine Appointments coming. May You find each of us daily praying, “Jesus, please shine in my life so that I will be a blessing to someone. Have Your Way with me Lord in Your Service.”
In the Precious Name of Jesus we pray, AMEN

WHILE ALL PRAYER IS A FORM OF WORSHIP, THE PRAYER OF PRAISE IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD COME FIRST, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DO, BUT BECAUSE OF WHO GOD IS.

Psalm 75
To the leader: Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1 We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks; your name is near.
People tell of your wondrous deeds.
2 At the set time that I appoint
I will judge with equity.
3 When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep its pillars steady.
Selah
4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast’,
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with insolent neck.’
6 For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7 but it is God who executes judgement,
putting down one and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall drain it down to the dregs.
9 But I will rejoice* for ever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Amen, Maudeen
