40 Days of Prayer for Our Nation

 

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

—The words of God from 2 Chronicles 7:14

 


40 Days of Prayer is a non-partisan call to fervent prayer for our elections.
We are in desperate days as a nation as the spiritual, moral and
financial fabric of our nation is disintegrating around us.
Believers need to pray as never before.

America’s National Prayer Committee and its member
organizations are putting out a call to pray 40 days prior
to the elections (September 28th through November 6th).

I urge you to become a part of this vital prayer ministry for the next 40 days. Truly we need God’s intervention in our nation. Oh that He would send a great, sweeping revival that would move across the United States from shore to shore.

In 1974, John W. Peterson and Don Wyrtzen wrote a canata entitled “I Love America.” Below, I have included a song from this work that I hope you will enjoy.

Will you pray with me?

Thank You, God, for loving us. Thank You for sending Jesus to be our Savior. Thank You for sending us Your Holy Spirit to dwell within us.

Loving Father, our nation desperately needs a great movement of Your Holy Spirit. Please be merciful to us and set our nation back on a path of righteousness and obedience to You. Protect us from our enemies, from within and without, who would destroy all we hold dear.

We pray that Your perfect desires for our land will overshadow this coming election. Please promote those who have proven faithful to You into postions of leadership that we might have a renewal of godliness in our govenment.

Thank You for all You have so graciously given our nation, from its founding until this very day. Forgive us for those many times we have turned our backs on You. Revive us—bring us to life again—that we may serve You and passionately promote the cause of peace and love throughout the whole world. And, thank You for hearing our prayer in and through the precious Name of Your Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
