Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches!
Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord!
Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Lamentations 2:19 ESV

National Day of Prayer 2014--a Prayer for Our World

That together you may [unanimously] with united hearts and one voice,
praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
Romans 15:6 (AMP)


Almighty Compassionate Father,
With united hearts and one voice we praise and glorify You, the God of all patience and consolation.
Your love for mankind is so great that from the beginning Your plan was to send Your one and only Son into this world to give His life to fulfill the requirement of Your justice on our behalf.
You proved that love for us to be true when You raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand of power.
Today, we who have come before You know we do not deserve such a great love.
We come humbly before Your Throne through the veil torn open for us by the blood of Your Son.
We come to offer You not only our sacrifice of praise but that of confession of sin on behalf of our own country and also all the nations of this earth. We plead for Your mighty hand to turn men, women, and children from darkness to light, from the power of our enemy, Satan, to You—the One True Living God—that they may receive forgiveness and the inheritance of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord.
We thank You that You do not turn away any who come to You but offer salvation freely to all.
May Your Holy Spirit transform the hearts of the people of this world, Your world, so they are filled with all joy and peace in believing.
We give You praise for Your unfailing lovingkindness.
In the Name above all names, Jesus, amen.
