2009 Prayer for Our Nation
by Beth Moore,
2009Honorary Chairman, National Day of
Prayer Task Force
“Father in Heaven,
We lift our eyes toward Your Throne, where You reign in righteousness.
Your Word assures us that when Your people cry out in sincerity and humility, You will never
turn a deaf ear to us.
We call upon You
now, seeking Your forgiveness and favor.
Look over this fevered landscape and heal
us, Lord.
Drop knees to the floor and raise eyes to
the sky, for we know where our help comes from.
Unite these States again in devotion to You, and blur every dividing line.
Do not give us over to our sins. Give us,
instead, over to passionate prayer that moves Your
heart.
“May Your
unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.”
In the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ
Amen.”
