Prayer for the United States

Pray with me:

Father, we the people of the United States need your help. Our land needs healing. You promised us that if Your people would humble themselves and pray and seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, You would hear Heaven; forgive our sins; and heal our land. Thank You that You always do Your part. Please help us do ours. Father, help the church, Your people, to shake off lethargy and slumber so we can humble ourselves with prayer and fasting. Help us to put aside the things of this world and seek Your beautiful face instead. Help us to turn from our ways, all of our ways that displease You and everything that keeps us from spending time with You. Deliver us from ourselves, Father.

We cry out for the United States. Bless President Obama today. Give him strength and wisdom. Open his eyes to see that he needs You. Bless our congress to seek Your face first and foremost so they will know that You alone are God, You only are the answer to what we need in this country. Bless them to humble themselves so they can serve the people. Help them to remember their purpose. Bless them to be unified to do Your will and what's best for the people. Bless them to be humble servants who put others before their own cause. We voted for them to represent us. Please help them to receive wisdom concerning our economy, health care, jobs, etc.

Father we cry out for our nation. That the church would rise up and seek Your face. You are our only hope. You know the plans that You have for us. You have plans of prosperity and not harm. You have plans for a future and a hope. Bless the United States, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.
