America has been greatly blessed by God and has stood as the greatest country in the history of the world for over 200 years. America has many foreign and domestic enemies that are seeking her destruction.
This thread is a daily call and reminder for people of faith who believe in God and in the power of prayer to make a commitment to intercede for America at this critical time in her history
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Samuel 24:25
David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.
if we stay faithful in prayer and intercede for america as king david interceded for israel, we will see God's answer
Lord, there are those in our congress and government who serve and support evil and are working for the destruction of america. we ask You to remove them and replace them with godly people who will do what is right and truly serve the people. please protect america from her enemies. we thank You in Jesus’ Name...amen

A Prayer for the Nation
Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.*
—Washington D.C., March 4, 1801

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Corinthians 10:4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Dear Father in Heaven,
We praise and Worship Your Most Holy Name,
For You Alone are Worthy, You Alone are God, You Alone are The Host High!
How we long for the day when we will see You Face to Face, and be able to sing with the Heavenly Hosts:
Holy, Holy, Holy!
LORD, God of Power and Might!
Heaven and Earth are Full of Your Glory!
Dearest Jesus, We ask You to intevene on behalf of Our Nation.
We plead with you to intercede with Father God to change the path upon which our country has strayed.
We ask that You continue to raise up wise and godly leaders who will inspire the people.
We Thank You PROFOUNDLY for every secret that is revealed, for every nefarious plot that is uncovered.
We are overcome with gratitude for every new gift on every new day that You bestow.
Thank You Jesus. We Thank You so much.
Beloved Holy Spirit, Be with our citizens. Give them wisdom in the polling places, and discernment with their finances. Help them in ways that will make America an Inspiration to the rest of the world, the way it used to be.
In Jesus name we pray
Amen.
