Our Prayer

Precious Heavenly Father, thank you for your Holy Word, which you have exalted even above Your own great name.  We give you all the glory, honor and praise, and we extol your excellencies to all men, for You alone are worthy.  We do not deserve your tender mercies, but we are ever thankful for them.  Your love, which You commended toward us while we were yet sinners, is beyond all compare and unfathomable.  We bless your name and declare your wondrous works!  You are Holy, and Mighty and all powerful.  

Dear Lord, we know the sins of our nation our great, and that they stink to Your throne in Heaven.  This nation, once called by your name, has greatly forgotten You, the Rock of our Salvation.  We have disdained you in our homes, our churches and our governments.  We have set up evil idols in Your place, and have bowed down to them everywhere.   

Our disgrace and our shame is ever before us.  We know that we have heaped upon ourselves great judgment and doom and that You, in Your justice, and because of your mercy upon the innocent cannot forever delay in recompensing evil for this evil.  Lord, because of the great evils done in this land, for the murdering of 60,000,000+ precious children, for the sodomy and for the abuse of children, for the sick love of violence and witchcraft, for the constant derision of your Holy Word, for the haughty look upon the faces of your children who will not repent and rend their hearts and seek Your face and ask for mercy, for all of these evils and more, Your judgments are being stored up until that Day when You will come and show Yourself to be the Ruler and Judge of all the earth.

Lord, Holy and True, You are righteous and You will take Your power and reign soon upon this earth, then the world will see that You alone created Heaven and Earth and everything in it.  Then every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  

Dear Lord Jesus, until that day when you return, please grant Your children mercy as You see fit, please give us the strength to endure what is sure to be the most heinous of all tribulations, worse than anything this world has ever seen.  

Lord Jesus, we cast all our cares upon You alone, for You care for us.  Your love endures forever and Your faithfulness is our great hope and our strength and our song.   

Lord Jesus, please let us be found watching, with our lamps full, and faithfully fulfilling our commissions, so that each of us may hear those most precious of all words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”  Lord Jesus, to be Your servant is better than to be ruler of a nation.  One day in Your courts is better than a thousand days elsewhere.   

Lord Jesus, we desire to walk with You daily, to commune with You continually, to never stray from Your side, to be led by You alone.  Lord Jesus, please let your servants be ever more sensitive to Your sweet voice, that we may hear Your beaconing call even above the loudest din.   

Lord we thank You and praise You for creating us in Your glorious image, and for putting Your seal upon our foreheads and in our hearts.  We ask that you keep us from temptation, and that you deliver us from all evil, for you instructed us to pray that we escape all these things.  We cling to every promise You have given to us as Your children, and we thank You for telling us the end from the beginning so that we have no cause to fear.  We thank You for leaving us Your peace which passes all understanding and which enables us Your servants to walk through the fire and not be consumed, to pass through the waters and not be overflown.  

You are great, and merciful and we thank You for choosing us to be Your servants.  Please hide Your Words deep in our hearts and write Your Words on the tablets of our hearts and bring it to our remembrance in the time of trouble.  We trust You to care for us.  We cling to you as children, and we hide ourselves under the shadow of Your great Wing.  We desire to dwell in the secret place with You, to be hidden in You.  Keep us Heavenly Father, for Jesus sake, so that we may be a holy people, bringing You the honor and glory that You so rightly deserve.  Let our lips praise You; let our hearts rejoice in You, the Rock of our Salvation!  For You are worthy of our honor and praise.  We ask all things in the perfect name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.
