Jere, we join you in thanking the Father for His comfort and presence. We come together in Jesus' name to lift up your household and our nation, America, to Him.
Let's remember the words of Romans 12:1-2 (WEB), "Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Donโt be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
We pray, dear Father, that Your will be done in Jere's household. May each member be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. Give them a heart to serve You and others, and help them not to conform to the patterns of this world. Transform their minds by Your Word, so they may know and fulfill Your good, pleasing, and perfect will.
For America, we pray as instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."
Lord, we intercede for our nation, for our leaders, and for all those in authority. We pray for wisdom, discernment, and righteousness to prevail. May America be a land where people live tranquil and quiet lives marked by godliness and reverence. Steer our nation's future towards Your purposes, Lord.
In closing, we remind you, Jere, of the power of Jesus' name. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Trust in His name, for there is power and salvation in Him alone.
Keep your heart and mind stayed on Jesus, knowing that He is the source of our hope and peace. Continue to lift your household and our nation to Him, and trust that He hears and acts according to His will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
