Prayer for America

Prayer for the USA

O Lord,

"Lift up President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, members of the Cabinet and the Cabinet nominees who are awaiting confirmation. Pray that they would each genuinely seek God, ask His counsel and follow His lead as they settle into their new roles.

Pray that any of our nation's leaders who do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior would develop a relationship with Him. Pray that those who are believers would grow closer to Him each day.

Lift up the business community in our nation. Pray that leaders of businesses of all sizes would make wise, responsible decisions during these tough economic times.

Lift up those who are unemployed or under-employed. Ask the Lord to bring them strength, peace and wisdom during these tough times.

Pray that President Obama, his economic team and Congressional leaders from both parties would seek and follow God's will as they debate efforts to strengthen our economy.

Pray that Christians throughout America would be responsible stewards of their freedom by consistently lifting up the Obama administration in prayer, supporting the administration's policies when possible and opposing its policies when necessary.

Pray that Christians in America and throughout the world would share the love of Christ through their daily actions, words, and personal examples.

Give thanks to God that we have not been attacked on American soil since 9/11/01; ask Him to continue protecting the United States from terrorist attacks.

Give thanks that we live in a nation in which we have the freedom to worship as we see fit; pray that we would never take that privilege for granted.

Give thanks that we live in a nation in which we have freedom of speech; pray that we would be responsible stewards of that freedom and that we would never take it for granted.

Ask the Lord to protect His design for marriage and the family in America and throughout the world.

Ask the Lord to protect the unborn in America and throughout the world.

Give thanks for the service of former President Bush, former Vice President Cheney, and the members of their administration. Pray for them and their families as they transition into private life...".

Amen.
