God, we ask your move over the United States to work in the attitude and understanding of the people of our country, both the saved and the unsaved, toward abortion. Open eyes, God and bring about heart changes. Open blind or averted eyes to the reality of what takes place in an abortion, and let there be conviction accompanied by change.
Let those who have already aborted and now have turned to you, receive forgiveness as a reality. Let those who suffer remorse for which they see no answer find their answer in Jesus Christ. Stop the lies of the enemy that there is no peace for them.
Father, send rain upon this land, literal rain, in all the many places around the nation that need it so badly. And let the rain of the Holy Spirit drench and wash your church. Come to us, Lord. Amen.
There is none like You, dearest Lord. We praise You for who You are: the great I AM. We thank You for being our God and for reaching down to us each day through our prayers. We are Your people and the sheep of your pasture. We know that You are with us and that You do answer our prayers. We proclaim Jesus Christ as our Savior and King, and we offer these prayers in His holy name.
Thank You for the guidance You are giving President Bush regarding the Middle East Peace Plan. Please give him the words to present his arguments in the best possible way. Provide him the vision for peace that he needs, and allow him to gain support for his proposals. We pray that the Palestinian people would choose to walk a different route and that they would give allegiance to a new leader. We pray for freedom for them, Lord, and we pray that they would be able to live the kind of lives You want them to live. We pray that their children would be taught love instead of hate. Most of all, we pray that they would be taught about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Merciful Lord, we again lift up the curse of abortion and pray that You would free this nation from this continuing atrocity. As we look at satan’s lies that keep us entrenched in this horrible practice, we hear the argument that abortion must be kept legal for the "hard cases," such as saving the mother’s life. And yet You, Father, see millions of babies being mercilessly slaughtered where no such danger to the mother was present. We foolishly listen to this ridiculous argument when less than one per cent of abortions are performed to save the mother’s life, Lord. Holy Father, creator of these tiny innocent victims, please let the truth be known. We know that as the partial birth abortion debate emerges again in the coming weeks, satan will convince some people to defend this practice in order to save the mother’s life. Open the eyes of our senators, Lord as they listen to yet another litany of doctors testify that PBA is never appropriate or necessary for saving the mother’s life. We know that some will defend abortion for victims of rape, and yet these incidents, too, are rare.. Father, surely we are foolish to make a law that allows the deaths of so many in the name of protecting so few. Help us, Lord and have mercy on us for allowing satan to deceive us with his lies. Please give President Bush, his cabinet, the legislature, and the Supreme Court a powerful message from the Spirit to do all they can do to eliminate the culture of death in our nation.
Precious Savior, bring this nation back to You. Raise up more people to pray each day that our country will experience the revival it so desperately needs. Instill in us the desire to "get right with You" as a nation. Let our prayers never cease so that every American has a saving knowledge of Your grace and the assurance of Your salvation. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
