Matthew 11:28
Come unto me,
all ye that labor
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
We praise Your awesome Name on this beautiful summer day, Father, for You are the God of all creation. You are the God of power, the God of love, and the God of our salvation. Let our hearts be joyful in You as we give You all the praise and the glory due Your Mighty Name. We know that we are undeserving of all the good gifts You provide us, Father, but we thank You for them, and we exalt You for Your faithfulness to us.
Father, we commit our country to You and ask that You would shine forth the light of Your Word upon this nation. Help us to seek Your forgiveness for placing other gods before You, and help us to humble ourselves and pray so that the joy of Your salvation may be restored in us. We need You, Father, lest we become encompassed by the materialism and attitudes of this world. Help us to truly be reborn in You, that our lives may be changed to reflect Your love and Your teachings.
Hear our prayers for our President, Lord, as he spends time with his family in Maine. Grant him rest and renewal that he may be restored by the power of Your Spirit. Thank You that Jesus Christ dwells in his heart by faith and that he is rooted and grounded in Your love. May the eyes of his understanding be enlightened all the days of his life; may he know You as his hope and heed the calling You have given him to serve this nation and to influence the world. Help him to know the mighty power of Jesus Christ in his life and to seek the inheritance You have prepared for him in eternity. Please give him all wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, and help him to resolve all issues as he seeks You in prayer.
Father, we pray that the works of evil would cease in Iraq and that stability and peace would prevail in the government there. Grant Your special blessings upon our men and women who serve to defend us, Lord. How we long to have them home with us, but we know that Your timing is perfect and Your ways are sure. We ask that You establish Your Word in the Middle East, Lord, that it may bring truth to those who dwell in darkness.
We need You and love You, Father. Thank You that You first loved us and that You have called us by name to be Yours. May our prayers be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of our hands as an evening sacrifice. In the strong and awesome Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
