SATURDAY PRAYER (21SEP19)

SATURDAY PRAYER – (21SEP19) Dear Heavenly Father, we would like to begin this prayer by saying “thank you” for allowing us to make it through another week and keeping us from evil. You are so good to us even in the midst of our trials, and we love You for it. Lord, we pray that if there is anything that we have done against you and/or against others knowingly or unknowingly to please forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Lord, we as a nation have sinned against you. We have not honored your ways nor your ordinances as a nation. We have claimed to know you but have lived contrary to the design that you have for our lives. You have blessed us more than any nation on earth, but we have failed you as a nation and have been in the forefront of leading other nations in sin. We know that we are Babylon and we have just as much, if not more, corruption, debauchery, and wickedness taking place as the Babylon of old as well as have surpassed the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have failed you as a church because we have not always stood up for the innocent, widow, orphan, stranger, and taught truth as you taught us to know. We were silent when prayer was taken out of schools. We were silent when pornography hit our streets. 

We were silent when abortion became the law of the land. We were silent when we found out that baby parts were being sold like auto parts across our land. We were silent when government officials failed to honor you and uphold morality. We were silent while children were being abused by our clergy. We were silent when leaders committed scandal after scandal while leading your flock. We were silent when the gay agenda first entered our homes through television and then became law. We were silent when our law makers took the Ten Commandments out of our courtrooms. We were silent when children grew up without fathers, which caused many to live a life of crime. We were silent when the government replaced God with more laws. We remain silent when clergy teach prosperity instead of REPENTANCE. Lord, we know that we have not honored you and we could list more of our sins, but we ask for your forgiveness and please accept those who are pleading on behalf of our wicked nation.

You have sent us warning after warning, and yet, we have not turned to you as a nation. You have allowed wildfires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, diseases, failed crops, and more to get our attention. Unfortunately, not enough of us are listening and paying attention. We have become a nation who wants your hand but not your face. We want your blessings without a commitment to serving you. Lord, please forgive us for our wickedness for we are a wretched nation.

Lord, we know that we do not deserve your mercy and goodness but you bestows it upon us anyway and we thank you for it. Lord, there are a lot of people in need of your help right now and we ask that you will take care of each and every need. We pray for the people in Texas who have lost everything they owned. We thank you for saving their lives and we ask that you will restore to them what they lost. We pray for the families who lost loved ones. We ask that you will be with them and for those who have not turned their hearts to you, we ask that you lead them to the knowledge of you.

Lord, we pray for broken marriages, misbehaving children, and those who may be experiencing other family issues. We know that you do not desire for families to be split. We ask that were restoration is possible, you will mend, and for those marriages that you do not fix, we pray that each person can leave in peace.  

We pray for the sick, widowed, elderly, and orphans. We ask that you will be with and comfort them. We pray for the lost and ask that you will turn their hearts to you. We pray for leveled heads throughout the world’s governments. We know that there are events which must take place in accordance to your will, but we pray that the enemy does not be allowed to do anything outside of your design. We pray that your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. We pray all of these things in your Son’s name, Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
