Today, September 11, 2022 we remember the attack on America and the many lives lost and families, businesses, and entities destroyed or damaged.
Let’s take moments throughout the day to say a whispering prayer for all of the families, friends, and entities that suffered greater personal loss along with the countries loss and mourning.
We don’t necessarily blame ourselves or say that God was or is mad at us as a nation instead praying the following prayer is to say we do need to humble ourselves before our Creator, confessing our national sin, repenting (meaning choosing to change) and be “one nation under God…” that we we were established to be. Let’s close the doors that are open to enemy access, spiritually speaking, and look to Our Loving Father God to heal our land.
Many are proclaiming “let’s make America great again” as a slogan, but truthfully, America’s greatness comes through Our Great God in whose name this land was dedicated. This is what all Americans should agree to, to align with the way of the God of this nation. This must happen individually, as families, business and corporations, organizations, especially ministries and churches, which combined will have a national impact.
I ask you to join in and pray this pray with me in sincerity as a means to turning what was intended for evil to the God kind of good that will supernaturally cause right things to happen! (Check out: Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11)
PRAYER RESPONSE TO SEPTEMBER 11TH ATTACK ON AMERICA
Oh, Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, who made man in your own image and likeness and breathed your breath of Life into us; the God who demonstrated your awesome love to us while we were yet sinners by sending your Son to die for us, that we might have Life and that more abundantly -your Son, Jesus, a living testimony of your faithfulness to mankind.
Lord, hear this prayer that I (we) present to you this day. I (we) acknowledge and confess the sins of America, including myself and all my family, The Church of God, and all those that proclaim your Name.
We have acted wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed your commands and decrees of your Word, The Holy Bible. We have ignored the prompting of your Holy Spirit. We have yielded to our fleshly desires. We have joined the world in their worldly pursuits engaging in all manner of evil, though we call ourselves a Christian nation. We repent Lord and ask that you would have mercy on us.
Touch us afresh by your Holy Spirit. Refresh and renew our spirits, souls, and bodies. Teach us what it is to fear you, Lord, to revere you. Inspire us to fear you, Lord, to love you, to obey your word. Cause the stoniness (hardness) in our hearts to become hearts of flesh, softened, yielded and pliable in your hands.
Deliver us from evil. Protect us from rating sin, rather help us to humble ourselves below your mighty hand and let go of the weights and sins that so easily beset us. Cause us Lord, to hunger for and thirst for righteousness. We acknowledge our desperate need for you. We need your Presence and your Power, Lord. Cause the power, Jesus Christ in us, the Hope of Glory, to rise up in your people.
We come weeping and mourning before your throne. We stand at the foot of your Cross in humble submission. We desire to really know you Lord, and to live according to your laws and commands, to your Word of Life. Show us your ways, Lord, so we will follow in your precepts. Touch your Church in this hour. Cause your Body to rise up and to stand tall as true representatives of Jesus Christ on this earth. We turn from our wicked ways and turn to you, Lord. Heal our land. Comfort us in our grief. Protect us from further destruction. Provide your wisdom to our president, government and peoples that we may respond to this tragedy in ways that please you, that are led by your Spirit.
Raise up in this hour, your men and women of God to serve as priests and prophets of God that will provide godly insight and guidance to our president, government, and the peoples of this land. Bring revival to our land. Lord, bring revival to our land! Thank you for hearing our prayer, Lord and thank you for responding to our heartfelt cry. In Jesus’ Name. AMEN
