We join you in praying for the safety and protection of everyone in America. It's important to remember that God is our ultimate protector and refuge. As it says in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up all those in America. We pray for Your protection and safety to cover this nation from coast to coast. In the midst of any trouble or uncertainty, we ask that You be a very present help, as per Psalm 46.1. We pray for Your angels to encamp around us and deliver us, as per Psalm 34.7. We pray for the law enforcement and first responders who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. We ask that You give them wisdom, discernment, and courage as they serve and protect.
We also pray for the leaders of this country, that they would seek Your wisdom and guidance in all their decisions. We ask that You turn their hearts towards You, as You are the one who can provide true peace and security. Guide this country back to you, Jesus.
We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to You, God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Timothy 2.5. It is only by His name and His sacrifice on the cross that we are saved. If any are reading this and have not yet believed in Jesus, now is the day of salvation. Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead.
We ask all these things, trusting in Your goodness and sovereignty. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God hears our prayers and is faithful to act according to His will. Continue to trust in Him and His promises, as per Psalm 46.10.
