Happy Birthday America - Prayers for our Nation! - July 4th 2015

And God said:” If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
(2 Chronicles.  7:14)

Almighty and Eternal Father, we thank You for the inspiration and courage You gave to the founding fathers of our nation to establish a land where Your principles and laws would guide us.  You have provided for this nation mightily with every good thing but we have squandered Your gifts and turned away from Your laws and principles.

Forgive us Lord. We acknowledge we have sinned against You and one another in every conceivable way.  We deserve Your just punishment but plead for Your mercy.
(Nehemiah. 1: 4-11) 

Grant us, the people of our nation, the grace to turn from our sins and return to You that we might be healed.  We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son and our Savior. Amen

God is faithful to His Word and shall accomplish that which He has spoken.
(Isaiah 55:11)
