A (adoration) Most kind, most gracious God our
heavenly father. We come on this National Day of Prayer with grateful
hearts, with thankful hearts, with praise on our lips. You are the King
of Kings, the Lords, the Everlasting Father, the Mighty God, the Rose of Sharon,
the Holy One, our shield, our buckler, Jehovah Shalom – God of peace, Jehovah
Rophe – God our healer, Jehovah Jireh – God our provider, Jehovah Shammah – God
you are there! What a mighty God, our ever-present help in the time of
need.
“…Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is
full of His glory. (Isaiah 6:3)
“Praise him for his mighty acts, praise him for his
excellent greatness.” (Psalm 150: 2)
C (confession) God search our hearts and our minds and
cleanse us, purify us dear Lord. We examine ourselves individually and
confess our sins to you and ask your forgiveness thanking you for being a
faithful and just God to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. As a nation we collectively ask your forgiveness for the
sins of the land. We ask you to cleanse the hearts and minds of this
nation and tear down every stronghold that stands against the name and power of
God.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
T (thanksgiving) For each new day, for every mountain,
for every blessing Lord we say thank you. Thank you for life, health, and
strength. Thank you for another day to rise and see the sunshine. Thank you for being an Omnipresent God sweeping throughout the nation
hearing the prayers of your people. Thank you for another day of National
Prayer where we as believers in this nation can come together in spirit and
lift up the needs of the nation and thank you for being our God.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God.” Philippians 4:6
S (supplication) Lord we need you today as never
before. We lift up our nation’s leaders on all levels that they will see
God’s face, uphold righteousness and be examples of godly men and women as they
serve in all capacities. We pray for healing of our land’s social justice
system, we pray for healing of our prison system, of our justice system.
Dear God lead, guide, and direct legislative change, social change,
peace. Raise up leaders who have a heart for all people within our
churches, communities, and throughout our nation.

the saints.” Ephesians 6: 18
