PRAYER FOR AMERICA
I humbly come before You, my God and Lord, to confess my sins and the sins of this Nation.
We have sinned and committed iniquities, we have done wickedly and rebelled against Your righteous and moral laws and the Commandments that You have given us through Your Holy Word (Bible).
We have decided that we know more than You and we will make our own rules and laws of what is right and wrong.
We have taken prayer and reading Your Word out of our schools, government, businesses, Churches, and our homes, and our children, cities, and this nation have suffered the consequences.
We have killed over sixty million of Your children through abortion, because of our selfishness, and, even worse, we have harmed mult-millions more because we have not taught them about You and Your laws and have given them a poor example to follow.
We have made marriage and marriage vows a joke, and we would rather shop for possessions than keep Your Sabbath a Holy day.
We have worshipped the works of our hands. We have made money, houses, cars, clothes, our status, our looks, our education, our jobs, our government, and our bank accounts into idols. They have taken Your place in our hearts, and we trust in them for our security, self-worth and happiness.
We have exported filth that is in our movies, TV shows, video games, music, books, magazines, and Internet into the minds of our children and to the world. Our government, activist, and movements have forced our immoral behavior on other nations. Because of our drug use, we have caused crime, lawlessness, and gangs to flourish in this and other countries.
We have failed to pray for those in authority and for this nation. We spend our time complaining instead and blame our leaders for our problems instead of the real problem, “Our rebellion against You and our sins.”
We have taken Your Holy Name and made it a curse word, and we have dishonored and misrepresented You by our actions. We have lost all fear of You and have not honored or shown respect to You as King of all creation.
We have ignored the two greatest commandments:
Matthew-22:37-39(KJV)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
We ask that You forgive us of all of our sins, past sins, and the sins of our ancestors – from discrimination against Africa Americans, Native Americans, and other ethnic races, to going to wars that we should not have. We humbly ask that You hear these prayers of repentance and that You move Your Spirit across this nation. And if this nation does not repent and turn back to You, in Your mercy, and love, do what You have to, to get our attention and turn this nation from our rebellion, our pride, our self-reliance, self-righteousness, and our selfishness. I pray that we will walk humbly again with You with a pure heart and obey all Your commandments from our heart. Only then will this nation be blessed again and become a light to this dark world and again represent You to the world with the honor and respect that You as the creator of all creation deserve.
This I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord
