"A Prayer For Our Nation"
Message summary: Today is the National Day of Prayer here in the USA. Rather than prepare a regular message we will merely share a short prayer Brooksyne wrote. Regardless of where you live it is a fitting prayer for any country on earth.
Podcast not prepared for this message
Father,
it is in Your great name that we, the body of Christ come together and
anchor our hope. In Your powerful name we cast down all that pertains
to evil as we also raise up a standard that goes before us in our
battle against the forces of darkness. We lift our hearts to You,
gracious Father, seeking forgiveness and favor. As You view our
troubled, sin-ridden nation we ask once again for mercy, for a
visitation of Your Holy Spirit to overshadow, convict and heal our
land, to renew our spirit so that it reflects the Spirit of Christ.
Deepen our devotion and loyalty to You and the causes that are dear to
Your heart. Do not give us over to our sins, as we deserve, but give
us, instead, over to passionate prayer, a heart of repentance, and an
obedient spirit that moves Your heart. “May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.”
We pray that Your love will not only fill but overflow in our lives so
that it is visible to those whom we seek to influence for the Kingdom.
In the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

We
want to thank all who financially support our ministry. We realize there are many fine
ministries
and causes requesting support but if the Lord would lead
you we surely need and appreciate the financial support from our
readers and listeners. Our ministry labor is comprised of half our
time to Daily
Encouragement and the other half to our chaplaincy ministry to
companies for which we receive a fee (of course this percentage of time
varies
week by week). Each of these ministries essentially is the same as a
part-time job (20+ hours weekly) for each of us. Our goal for many
years is that each phase would provide half of our ministry expenses
and
income. If you would like to make a donation to our ministry see here
for more information. Donations through my chaplaincy endorsing ministry are tax deductible and will
be receipted directly by them. Thank you!
Please Note:
Our chaplain agency is unable to provide a receipt
if the donation is made through PayPal. However we provide this option
due to the convenience, international supporters, and for those who
may not be concerned regarding receiving an official receipt. Click here
