Pray for the Republic and Obama Day 198-200

5God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

10By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

14Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Father God, I confess that I haven't posted this particular thread every single day because at times I just don't feel like it. I see what is going on in our nation, and I see that, in spite of our prayers, it just marches on towards its destruction, and I get discouraged. Evil has overwhelmed the land to where people find rape of a teenager funny. Television is trash. The media a bunch of liars. And, the average Joe blissfully unaware of what is happening in the land and argumentative in his ignorance.

Still, I know my God. I know nothing is too difficult for You and I know that it would be no problem at all for You to turn this thing around. So, it is not a lack of faith in You. Rather, it is a lack of knowing that the way we have been praying is even what Your will is. How can we pray if we do not know what Your will is regarding our leadership and this nation? I pray for their conversion, but what if it is not within Your will that they be converted. Scripture indicates that You hardened Pharaoh's heart. Of course, Your hardening wasn't making him sin, rather it was taking Your hand away and allowing the fruits of his sin to come into full bloom. He perished along with his army. Now, Obama is being called Pharaoh. Perhaps he will be a vessel of wrath poured out upon a land which deserves wrath. When a murdered murderer's funeral can illicit free offers of more murder, this nation has crossed a line.

Father, regarding our abortions and our embryonic stem cell research we are guilty of murder. Blood runs through the pages of our nation's history, but none so red as the past 3 decades.

Regarding our promotion of deviant lifestyles, we are guilty of adultery, lust, sodomy, pedophilia, and just about every other sin you could name. The fact that we are comfortable in a land that not only allows some of this but celebrates it and proclaims this month to be a month to honor the pride of such things shows how far we, as Christians, have fallen. We are guilty.

We have set up other gods before You. Our sports. Our Entertainment industry. Our food. Our money. Our stuff. All of these things are gods to us, and You have been set aside. Those who dare attend something called a church usually attend whitewashed tombs dedicated to hedonistic pursuit. Tickle my ears. Don't tell me truth. It's too offffeennnnsssive. Surely You are ready to spew us out of Your mouth. We are guilty.

Of apathy and laziness, where we see everything going down and do nothing about it. We are guilty.

Of stupidity and arrogance, a dangerous combination, our nation is guilty. Gladly accepting the smooth words of an antiChrist while mocking true Christians is what is in. We are so guilty Lord.

And so, I look at our guilt and I look at what I fear is coming on this nation and I weep. For I know we deserve it all. We have left our first love. We have disdained Your name. We have forgotten the faith. We have become utterly corrupt. And any judgment coming our way, we deserve.

So, knowing this, how do I pray Lord? If You want me to pray for Obama's salvation, I will do that. I know You can save him and change a lot of things.

If You want me to pray to stay Your hand of judgment, I could do that, but I sense no such leading. In fact, calamity may be what it takes to right this nation, or to put her out of her misery. I can not pray for this nation to be free from judgment, for she has become like a filthy pot. Either tumultuous fires will purify her or they will burn her up. I don't want to see my nation destroyed, but she is doing it to herself. I am witnessing the destruction of America and it makes me grieve for the loss of her.

So, Lord, not knowing how to pray for her, I just pray that Your will will be done with her. And, I pray for Your grace to shine in the lives of those reading this and those that they touch.

Things will likely get worse before they get better - but I read the back of the book and we do win. To the glory of Your blessed Son in who's name I pray, Amen.

Hi blogger, I've been on a leave of absence, but I've been praying for our Republic and Obama to accept Jesus Christ as Savior everyday.

Heavenly Father, we ask that You will heal our land, of all the sickness that is so widespread today. We pray that You lift all deception from the eyes of our people and reveal afresh Your truth and light into their lives today. Please station Your holy angels around all our politicians in Wahington D.C, to minister to them and help them to return to You Lord, please draw President Obama to Yourself, so that his sick soul and spirit may be healed.

Please Lord, soften his hardened heart and weaken his arrogance and willful pride. Lord, help President Obama to see the enemy lies that he is feeding on. Help him know Your truth that will set him free from captivity. Lord, we bind any evil spirit that is oppressing him, especially demonic spirits of narcissism and hubris, in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we loose the spirit of salvation and peace to President Obama right now. Thank You for hearing our prayer, Father! We give You all the glory, praise and honor. Amen
