Lord Jesus, though our hearts are heavy for our nation, may we not lose sight of the fact that our hope is in You. “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before Him, for dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.” May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in You.” Psalm 22:27-28 In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. We wait in hope for the LORD He is our help and our shield. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance despite all its great strength it cannot save. No king is saved by the size of his army no warrior escapes by his great strength. “From His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth - He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. Place people in power who revere You and will serve You for the good of their communities. We pray for the salvation of all of our nation’s leaders that they may know You. We pray for our leaders to protect our freedom so that we might live out our faith freely without fear. King of Kings, you appoint the nation’s leaders in Congress and at the state and local levels. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.” “The LORD foils the plans of the nations He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Psalm 33:10-11 Your Kingdom Purpose in America Matthew 6:9-10
