Father in heaven, I come to your court to ask your forgiveness, to seek your mercy and cry out for repentance across my nation. If your people, who are called by your name humbly bow, seek your face and repent of evil, You will hear our prayers, and heal our land. Father, I stand on the promise of this Old Testament verse from 2 Chronicles. Please, bring unity, harmony, restoration and redemption to our country. Please, protect our republic. Let your people speak loudly, boldly and stand unwavering. We humbly ask that You show us your glory so that all will know that You are God, the Almighty, the Great I Am. I bring my petition in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Many years you bore with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.” (Nehemiah 9: 30-31 ESV)
