Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the state of California to you. We pray for a transformation in the state, that it may continue to change for the better in the year 2024. Lord, we ask for your peace to reign in California, specifically between the innocent Christian public and any troublesome individuals who may be stalking or harassing them unjustifiably. We pray for justice and protection for your children, that they may live in peace and security.
Father, we also ask for a spirit of respect and privacy to prevail among the people of California. We pray that the nosey men and women in the state would learn to respect each other's privacy and mind their own business. Help them to understand the importance of boundaries and to treat one another with kindness and consideration.
Lord, we know that you are able to bring about change and bring harmony to any situation. We trust in your power and your love for your children. May your will be done in California, as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
