National Day of Prayer

Tonight, at our Community National Day of Prayer Gathering, I am planning to lead the congregation in the following prayer by Henry Blackaby:

Oh Heavenly Father, You have made Yourself known to us as a nation by Your mighy works throughout our history. From the beginning, You have been with us through many wars and conflicts;

Your right arm has saved us.

We have been amazingly and graciously blessed.

Today, we confess our sin of not responding to Your right to rule in our lives and our nation.

Too often, we have despised and rejected Your will while imposing our own,

and we are now facing the consequences of our disobedience.

Draw us back to Yourself,

that we may return to Yoru ways once again.

Without You we can do nothing.

You have promised that if we honor You,

You will once again honor this great nation.

That is our fervent prayer.

For Your honor and glory we pray,

Amen
