National Day of Prayer 2015

National Day of Prayer is an annual event encouraging people of all faiths to come together and pray for the United States of America. Attending this event strengthens and refreshes my spirit. Intercession is made for our seven centers of power: Government, Military, Media, Business, Education, Church, and Family. This national observance is held the first Thursday of May.

Sovereign God, we humble ourselves before You, pray and seek Your face. Turn our hearts to You and away from our sin. Have mercy on us! Hear our prayers, forgive us, and heal our land. 

Your word says to pray for those in authority. Bless these men and women with wisdom, and lead them to do Your will. May they govern rightly, and fear You. Give each one courage to live with integrity. May our leaders love truth, administer justice, and resist evil. 

Protect those who defend our nation, and bless them  with strength and courage. 

Bless teachers, administrators, and parents with wisdom. May they seek and teach truth. Give our nation's children a desire to honor, obey, and respect those in authority over them. Help them to make good and wise choices. Please protect our homes and schools, and fill them with Your peace. 

May those who work in the media and entertainment industries report truth and present morality and godly values. 

Prosper business owners who conduct their businesses with integrity and honesty. Provide jobs for those in need. 

May Your Church impact this nation with truth, love, and mercy.

In the Name of  our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords...amen.
