Short Prayers for the Nation and the Church

by Tonja Taylor  
8/11/2024 / Prayers

Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.--I Timothy 2:2, NASB95

Therefore, confess your sins to on another, and pray for one another so  that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. - James 5:16, NASB95

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. - Proverbs 15:8, NASB95

As true Believers, we have the God-given honor and responsibility to pray for the USA and the Church. Here are short prayers from Psalm 31 to help accomplish God's purpose in His earth (Psalm 24:1).

(I have put "(The/USA)" or "(The Church)" or "(we)" in place of "me" or "I" and such. You can print these out and proclaim them daily.) 

By the way, let your child(ren) hear and see you read the Scriptures out loud, as you intercede for the USA and the Church.  Also, let your child(ren) read them out loud. You, the child(ren), and the LORD will all be blessed!

When you sow the eternal, matchless, unchanging, life-giving Word of God into your loved ones, that Word will keep on growing and bearing fruit in their lives! 

Hallelujah!

So let's pray:

Father, we thank and praise You that You led people devoted to You to establish the USA, for freedom to worship You, and to live and promote Your Word throughout the earth. We cast our cares on You, confessing that our nation is in a horrid mess. First, we ask You to forgive us for our weaknesses, sins, and abominations against You in this nation--from the natural government to the true Church, Your Body. 

We praise and thank You that, according to Your unchanging Word in James 2:13, Your mercy triumphs over judgment, and Lamentations 3:22 and Malachi 3:6 say You are the merciful LORD Who changes not; thus we are not destroyed!  Hallelujah! 

Thank You, LORD, that it is Your blessed Holy Spirit Who prompts and teaches us to pray Your will back to You, that Your Way may be known, desired, and followed in this, Your earth (Psalm 24:1; Psalm 67:2; Psalm 86:11). Hallelujah!

     LORD, as it is written in Psalm 31 (NASB95), we pray:  Let not (the USA and the Church) not be put to shame, O LORD, for (we) call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. 

          Let the lying lips (against the USA and the Church) be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous (Church) With pride and contempt.   

       Hide (the USA and the Church) in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.
