SATURDAY PRAYER (02MAY20)

SATURDAY PRAYER (02MAY20) – Dear Heavenly and Most Gracious Father, we come to you on this first Saturday in May to thank you for your goodness, kindness, and great mercies. Thank you for bringing us out of the winter into the spring where we are constantly reminded of your creation and beauty even in our fallen world. We are ever so reminded that you took six days to bring about all of creation, which you called good, and rested on the seventh day. Man can never completely erase all aspects of you, even though he may try, and we thank you for the constant reminders as to who You are…our Jehovah Elohim – God our Creator.

Lord, we ask that you will forgive us from all the transgressions we have committed against you and/or against others. We ask that you will forgive us for our part in being disobedient to you as a nation. We know that we have sinned and have fallen short of your glory. We have been a rebellious people – a rebellious nation. To much is given there is much required, and you have required much from us, but we have failed to honor you as we should. We have followed in the path of Israel of old and have wanted your blessings without giving you the respect and honor that you deserve. For this, we bow our heads to say that we are truly sorry. We ask that you will not give us the punishment that we deserve, but give us the grace that you bestow on those you love. Please grant us mercy, for your Son came and died for our sins so we may have life more abundantly. Please take away our desire to sin, and create in us a clean heart that longs to do your perfect will.

Lord, we pray for those who have been afflicted by the plague that has come across our nation and abroad. We know that nothing happens unless you permit it to take place, so we ask that you will forgive, heal, restore, and deliver those who are sick and in need of you. We pray for those who are in nursing homes, hospital beds, on ventilators, in rehab facilities, on hospice, and wherever they may be – even in their homes. We ask for your healing touch for those who are in prisons, mental institutions, and other facilities where they are unable to leave. Please help them Lord wherever they may be, and heal them both spiritually and physically in accordance with your will.

We pray for broken and dysfunctional families. We pray that you will heal, mend, and reconcile them to one another. We pray for strong kingdom marriages, anointed and appointed children, and that they will remain united in you. We pray for the true body of Christ to be united as one in you. Please lead and guide as we look to you as our Head.

Lord, we are hearing that food shortages are coming, but we know that your people never have to fear. Just as you provided Manna and water for the Children of Israel in the wilderness, we know that you are still our Jehovah Jireh, Lord our Provider, who is able to do abundantly and exceedingly great things in the lives of your people. Your miracles have not ceased, and we will do what we can with what you have given to us, but we know that we must have faith that you will lead and guide us with the rest.

Lord, we pray for the government officials who are all over our nation and abroad. There are those who have hidden agendas for population control and more. Nevertheless, you are the God who sees all things and reveals all things to your servants. We know that Bible prophecy must be fulfilled, but we pray for those who desire to do your people harm, and we ask that you will speak to their hearts so that they will come into the knowledge of who you are. We pray that your people will be able to rise above demonic agendas where we can be a light unto a dark world.

We ask that you will be with your people and answer their prayers in accordance to your will. We speak life and not death over your people and we ask that you will give your people a special anointing to help usher the lost to you. We pray against all demonic attacks from the enemy that comes in the form of depression, anxiety, worry, sickness, doubt, fear, and whatever area he tries to enter in. We stand on your promises and know that victory is ours because you were victorious first. We thank you Almighty Lord and we give you praise, honor, and glory in Jesus’ name, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
