We were established as "One Nation Under God" and Psalms 33:12a (NKJV) says: "Blessed is the Nation whose God is the LORD." And this is not restricted to us in America but it is true for the entire World, if we will but pray, God will hear and answer us. We, all of us, everywhere, need to set aside some time to pray, on this day of prayer and every day. To pray for our families and friends, to pray for our co-workers, to pray for our employers, our Cities, our States and our Nations.
The 2012 NATIONAL PRAYER
by Dr. David Jeremiah – NDP Honorary Chairman
by Dr. David Jeremiah – NDP Honorary Chairman
Every good gift and perfect gift comes from You. You are a faithful God and Your mercy endures forever.
You have promised to bless the nation that trusts in You. Our currency proclaims “In God We Trust,” but in our culture we are far from You.
In the words of the prophet Daniel, “We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.”
We come before You once more, seeking Your forgiveness and mercy. You, O God, are our only hope… Hear our prayer and, for Your honor’s sake, shine Your face upon this nation.
Give our leaders the desire to seek Your wisdom and the courage to follow Your guidance… and watch over the men and women of our armed forces as they sacrifice for the cause of freedom.
We give You thanks for all You have done for us, and we earnestly pray that You will help us become, once again, a nation whose God is the Lord.
In the name of Your Son, and our Savior, we pray this prayer.
Amen
