Almighty Creator,
Do you hear my stomach as faithfully as you hear my words?! I wonder this as I fast alongside a nation of prayer warriors. I wonder if you smile at our sounds and at our random food thoughts. I wonder if you sit in contemplation over the thoughts and battles and determination that resides within us during our times of prayer and of fasting. I wonder, God, how precious we are in your sight as we fight on our knees.
Lord, how I love to use my words to magnify Your Name! What a cherished gift You have given to us. The gift of words. The sound of our voice. The proclamation of praise. Yes, such sweet gifts!
Dear Lord, I pray for hope to set ablaze in each of our hearts.
Father God, I have a request to lay at your feet.
Will you revive our American soil? Lord, as I say that, my heart smiles knowing that You already are. Revival is spreading across our nation! We hear the song, we see the baptism, we testify of Salvation! Coast to coast, you are setting a revival in our land.
So, Lord, my question is deeper still.
Will you Drain the Swamp that has rooted itself so deeply in our soil? Yes, I think that is the pinpoint of my prayer. Yet, even as I cast this request at your feet, I see the fruit of your handiwork in this too. Lord, as dark as the infestation is, Your light is shining powerfully upon the darkness! I feel like “it” got too big for their own good. As if they think they are unstoppable. As if they are in full control. As if they won.
Lord, my heart almost giggled at those last sentences. As if I know the full story. As if I know the Truth. For I do, I know You, the infinite Way, the Almighty Truth, the everlasting Life.
Father, I pray in all my boldness before Your Throne, please stop the ones who think they are unstoppable. Right now, lay your right hand upon their heads. Speak Your decree upon them today. That each and every one of them will have no choice but to declare You as the Victor! That they may taste and see Your goodness! That they may know that You alone are God! {Psalm 85}
Jesus, may I pray so boldly and specifically, perhaps selfishly? Lord God, will you lead the path for President Trump’s return as President of our United States of America?! Will You keep him in the White House without him having to miss a beat? Lord, our nation has witnessed You doing SO much for the integrity and character of our foundation through Trump’s leadership.
You have built a wall of defense around this man as he daily stood for our nation’s protection, both within and without our border. The world is remembering who we are. We were remembering who we are. We are the land of the free. We are the home of the brave. We are Americans. And we are proud to be! For in our American pride, we kneel humbly in Your Sovereignty.
God, this is my pointed prayer. Pave our path quickly and powerfully back under the leadership of President Trump, of Vice President Pence, of the people, and of Your Mighty Name!
Before Your Throne and at Your feet,
Amen
