A prayer for our nation,
given on the 61st annual observation of our National Day of Prayer;

Lord, America needs Your guidance and direction.
We humbly ask that Your spirit intercede with the leaders of our nation,
giving them the wisdom to make decisions that will honour You.
We pray fervently for peace, both here and abroad.
Let us live a life of reverence for You with peace in our hearts for our fellow man. May we always remember You are the Almighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords. May we be steadfast in our humble obedience to You
and boldly declare that we are one people united through Your powerful name, indeed, one nation under God. Amen.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” Psalm 33:12

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on His shoulders.
And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." … Isaiah 9, verse 6
