This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His Will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
WHEN IT IS NOT IN GOD’S TIME, YOU CAN’T FORCE IT.
WHEN IT IS IN GOD’S TIME, YOU CAN’T STOP IT!
Heavenly Father, We have totally lost our focus and our way in America. If it be Your Will, please bring this country back to Your Intent. We know “when it’s all been said and done” only what we have completed for the cause of Christ will last. Those who are mired in the things of this world we are told in Your Word will in the end be given over to spiritual blindness and eternal condemnation by You. (Romans 1:24-32)
We pray *for Spiritual enlightenment in all facets of our society (the church, business, government, military, families, technology, media), *for a turnaround of those elections currently fraught with deception and evil intent, and *for a hedge of protection for those who are serving in the military, frontline defense and as first responders.
We ask, Father God, *that truth and justice be served for those who are being persecuted for their beliefs and actions, *that our borders will once again be safe from intruders, and *that You will protect the innocent, sex trafficked, and abused.
We pray for those who find themselves in compromised churches. . .that they will stand for righteousness and effect change or seek You in other churches/small groups totally sold out to You giving You all Honor and Glory. We pray for those in the mission fields serving on the frontlines spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
And Lord, how we bemoan the current indoctrination of the young so misled and unaware of Your Perfect Will for not only our country but their personal lives. Please place intercessors in their paths that will point to Truth.
We ask for healing and comfort for those who have been physically and mentally wounded by the plandemics of this world and plead that evil intentions be exposed and justice served.
We pray that those who espouse social justice in America seek foundational principles and actions based on Your Word.
Thank you for hearing our prayers, O Lord. In Jesus Name we pray, AMEN

But one thing we are all promised is that our life will soon end and we will stand before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). There, before our Maker, we will give an account of how we used the days, words, relationships, dollars, skills, and opportunities God entrusted to us. Charles Thomas Studd, who served as a British missionary to China, penned a famous poem that helps us to consider the only worthy way to use the life God has given to us—for Christ! May God help us to be ever mindful that only what is done for Christ will last. Lord, help us.
Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way;
Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgement seat; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God’s holy will to cleave; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;
Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
When this bright world would tempt me sore, When Satan would a victory score;
When self would seek to have its way, Then help me Lord with joy to say; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Give me Father, a purpose deep, In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;
Faithful and true what e’er the strife, Pleasing Thee in my daily life; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Oh let my love with fervor burn, And from the world now let me turn;
Living for Thee, and Thee alone, Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one, Now let me say, ”Thy will be done”;
And when at last I’ll hear the call, I know I’ll say “twas worth it all”; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
