Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the many blessings you have poured out on this nation from it’s beginnings. Help us to remember why you created us and to be faithful to that call. We ask that You pour out Your Holy Spirit on this nation and awaken the hearts of all of your children to pray and seek you. May our eyes be opened to the spiritual battle around us and not just the temporary things of life.

Be our strength to fight and stand against the evil in this world that comes as a lion to kill, steal and destroy. Protect the hearts and minds our children, grandchildren and all our loved ones from a culture that tells them follow the world and turn away from you and your ways.

Put the fear of God in the hearts of religious leaders who are following the world and not You; those who once may have sought You, but now seeks the approval of man and the riches of the world. Raise up leaders who reminds us what Jesus told us to do: repent, love God with all our hearts, minds, soul and strength, love one another, pray and tell everyone the good news-that you lived and died for all mankind.

May our life be an act of worship to you. Help us to reach out to those in need, those who are lost, those who have lost hope or have put their hope in false idols; celebrities..love of power, money...ourselves. May we be a light in this dark world. Revive our hearts and minds to see the power You have given us to do Your work on earth.

Protect and defend our brave soldiers who stand between us and those who want to harm us. Give them your strength, wisdom, discernment when facing battle. May they sense Your presence and feel Your love. Bring them home soon in victory and honor; the honor they and their families deserve for the great sacrifices they have made for this country. Let us never forget our veterans who served this country, some who paid the ultimate price our us.

We ask that you bring peace to Jerusalem and all of Israel. This is where it all began and where it all will end. Protect them from the enemies that surround them. May our nation always stand with Israel, your chosen people.

Be with your people around the world who are being persecuted because of their faith in you. May we, their brother and sisters, pray for them, help them in any way we can (Voice of the Martyrs...) and encourage our leaders to speak for them.

Above all, we thank you God for proving your love to us by your sacrifice on the cross. May we always remember all that you have done for us and this nation; our 12 memorial stones, as in days of old. Let the gospel go out to every person clearly so all people can find the answer the question every man has wondered. Why are we here?

Revive us Oh Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.

Amen.
