SATURDAY PRAYER – (24NOV19)

 SATURDAY PRAYER – (24NOV19) Dear Heavenly Father, in a few days, the nation will claim to celebrate being thankful, but we will see, as we do every year, that it is only a day to eat, drink, and be merry for many as they head to the stores and fight over gadgets, shoes, parking spaces, and being first in the line of many. We pray against such things in advance, but we are here to offer you the sincerity of our hearts and thank you for all that you have done not just on one day but each and every day of our lives. Every day that we open our eyes is a day that we are to be grateful. Every time we are able to breathe your breath of life is a day to be grateful. Every day that we are in our sound mind is a day to be grateful. Every time we make a move with our own attached limbs is a day to be grateful. Every time we have clean water to drink and fresh food to eat is a day to be grateful. Every time we can take a shower or enjoy a hot bath is a day to be grateful. Lord, we who are your children are really grateful.

Lord, we ask that if there is anything that we have done and may be guilty of doing which is displeasing in your sight to please forgive us, convict us, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness as we repent before you on this day. Please allow your light to shine on the inside of us and through us where there is no residue showing of our imperfections, but only your grace and mercy that was made evident by the blood you shed on the cross for our sins.

Lord, we ask that you will cover our service men and women who are stationed in all parts of the world. We ask that you will provide a realm of protection over them and for those who are your servants, please allow for them to continue being first and foremost a warrior for you, and for those who have not come into the fold yet, please guide them into your gate for you are the Good Shepherd. We also pray for our first responders who risk their lives daily to save and protect others. We ask that you will be their vest of protection so no harm and danger will come to them before your designated time for them to depart this earth. We pray for protection over our president, his family, the vice president, and his family as well. All assassination attempts we pray for them to be thwarted and that they be covered under your wings.

Lord, we ask that you will provide healing for those who are in need of your mighty touch. We pray for the restoration of those who are providing care for their sick family members, friends, and loved ones. We ask that you will pour back into them what they have poured out spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Please bless them for their efforts because many have gone over and beyond the call of duty to be honorable in your sight by doing unto others as if they are doing unto you.

We pray that you will give wisdom, direction, and understanding to those who are seeking you right now. You said that you were the One who orders our steps and so, we pray for the Holy Spirit to give his gift of revelation to those who are in the valley of decision so that they will be able to see which path to take.

We pray over the lives of marriages, children, extended families, friends, loved ones, coworkers, neighbors, and strangers. We even pray for our enemies as this is in keeping with your will. We ask for you to cover, strengthen, appoint, and anoint those to service whom you would have to edify your kingdom by the telling of their trials in which you turned into their testimony. We pray for bonds to break free and any demonic soul ties that are attached to them to be released and freed into the abyss from which they came. We ask that you will cover your children and help us to endure to the end so that when you return, we can hear you say, “Well done.” We pray for all of these things in your Son’s name, Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
