SATURDAY PRAYER (04APR20)

SATURDAY PRAYER (04APR20) – Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you this day with a lot on our hearts, but before we cry out to you for anything, we just want to say “Thank You” for all that you have done. We thank you for allowing us to have the breath of life in our bodies, mobility of our limbs, soundness of mind, and provision for our needs. We could not do anything nor would we have anything without you, and for that, we give thanks. Lord, we ask that you will forgive us from our short-comings and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Please forgive us as a nation and individually for all the transgressions that we have committed against you. So much of what we are seeing take place in our nation is a result of our defiance against you, and for that, we are sorry.

We ask you to forgive us for not standing up for the innocent children who are being killed every day through abortions. Please forgive our silence for we know that their blood is running down our streets and that you are displeased every time a child is butchered in the temples of Satan posing as centers for Planned Parenthood.

We ask you to forgive us for the sex trafficking that is taking place in our nation and abroad. We have become a vile nation where we promote the sexual exploitation of children and women. We pray that the guilty parties will be revealed, and the enslaved will be set free.

We ask you to forgive us for removing prayer out of our schools, and in so doing, we have removed you and replaced you with metal detectors and drug-sniffing dogs. We allowed the removal of the Creation story and replaced it with a theory of demons (Darwin). We allowed Satanic clubs instead of Bible clubs and LGBTQ sex ed instead of home ed. 

We ask you to forgive us for our greed and the gambling sins of our nation. We are a nation full of casinos, clubs, and churches where we oftentimes cannot distinguish between them. The casino takes addicted people’s money, clubs strip lustful men’s money, and many churches rob their gullible congregants of money due to greedy dogs in the pulpits (Isaiah 56:11). 

We ask you to forgive us for not upholding the sanctity of marriage. We have sinned by supporting cross-dressers in our movies and plays, the sexually immoral leading churches, and now the union of what God called abominable in unholy matrimony. Males dying to become female and females trying to become males have become a right of passage in our society as many wonder why we are seeing judgments all across our land. The answer we know is because of our wickedness. 

Lord, we ask that you will hear the cries of your people and heal those who are sick, in despair, and those dealing with marital and family problems. We pray for the healing of their minds and for their soul salvation. We pray against the enemy of our souls who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. We pray against the Jezebel spirits in many homes which are destroying families everywhere. We pray against the spirit of depression, loneliness, grief, and the spirits of mental torment. We pray for your peace that surpasses all-natural understanding. 

We pray for those who are near death’s door. Please allow them to transition peacefully in you, and if there are any who have not accepted you as their Lord and Savior, please move upon them to do so before the door to your Ark is shut. Please be with those who do not have ventilators in hospitals and medical care facilities amidst this COVID-19 crisis. Please heal, deliver, and set free in accordance with your will. Please be with the medical staff who are overworked, weary, and tired. We ask that you will replenish them as they give more of themselves than what they ever knew they could.

We ask that you will be with our servicemen and women who are in harm's way at this time. Please cover them as they try to protect this nation. Please be with our President and Vice-President who are making decisions regarding this nation and abroad. We ask for wisdom and guidance in accordance with your will. Please be with their families as they too sacrifice while their spouses and parents are oftentimes away leading the nation.

Lord, we pray for the unsaved. We ask that your Spirit will move upon them so that they will be receptive to your knocking on their heart’s door. We ask for you to humble the pride and show mercy to your servants. We are in dire need of you as a nation. Please give us your mercy and grace. We ask for all these things in your Son’s name, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
