Two Demons of the Flesh

Lord,

Forgive us for yielding to the two demons of the flesh (gluttony and sex).

We as a nation have allowed ourselves to be consumed by the flesh. Our judgment for falling into our vices is to take away our freedoms that were a gift from you and subject us to the collective rule of government—a socialistic system that others are imposing upon us.

Let us arise once more—realizing that our freedom comes from you—that you are the ultimate “freedom” and with that “freedom” comes responsibility toward others.

You want us to focus on those who have no “freedom” because of their sin and to those whose “freedom” has been unjustly taken away. Bring back compassion and caring to us as a people. Let us see the wickedness of our ways.

Have mercy on us. Forgive us, for the sake of the babies and the elderly. Have mercy and compassion on them.

Prayer For Forgiveness

Dear Lord,

Forgive us O Lord for killing babies. Forgive us O Lord for using our tax money to support the killing of babies. Forgive us O Lord for taking away conscience from those Christians in the medical field who would say “No, to abortion.”

Let those of us, who are grieved, still stand up and say “Let my voice be counted as one that says ‘No to abortion.”

Forgive us, O Lord for separating the sacred from the secular and allowing our country to get to the point where abortion is the law.

Feeling Unprepared but still preparing my daily offering

Dear Lord,

It is you who prepares me for the task of this hour. It is you who says, “I choose the appointed time.” (Psalm 75:2). It is you “who judges uprightly when the earth and all its people quake.” (Psalm 75: 3). It is you “who holds its pillars firm.”

God is bringing His judgment. “He brings one down and exalts another.” (Psalm 75:7).

Lord, I present to you my daily offering this day. Let it be an aroma pleasing to you (Numbers 28:2). Take the little I have and multiply it. Take my life and let it be pleasing to you. Lift up your righteousness over the land. We give you America.

We lift your banner up over America. Take the offering that I give you this day and may it be pleasing unto you.

Feeling Insignificant

Dear Lord,

How can we win the Battle For America? How can you use me as your servant—your instrument?

Yesterday, I was tormented by my insignificance. The attack was straight from hell.

My sinfulness was exposed. Yes, I am unrighteous. Yes, I am a sinner. But what else is new?

I know that when I yield to you, I am made righteous because you (Christ) lives in me. It is to your glory that you choose to use your creation to do your work.

This morning, I surrender myself for your glory—for your purposes.

Lord, use me as your instrument. May you be glorified. I surrender the United States of America under your banner. Use this nation once again. Come to this nation once again. Forgive us for our sins. We deserve your judgment I know.

However, we ask for your mercy. Let your children know the error of their ways. Let us wake up before it is too late. Let us once again be the beacon you have called us to be to the rest of the world. Let our nation be the beacon of freedom and hope for other nations. Let us be a blessing for others. Let us return to our Christian roots. Let us remember that we are a nation under God. You are our one and only true God. Let us return to you. Raise up once again, fathers and mothers that can truly love not only each other but their children as you have loved us. Come visit our land once again. Come dwell among us. Lead us by day and lead us by night. We choose to be your people. We welcome you. We want your Presence. We surrender to you. We love you. Be glorified this day. You are the one and only true God!
