Dear Jesus,
We come to You today, a nation broken. Broken by greed, racism, hatred, and evil. We come to You a nation on our knees, watching the world around us slowly crumbling.
We lift up this country to You today, and we pray that You start a great revival throughout our land. We pray that You pour out Your blessings and glory on us once again.
We know that we’re sinners, saved by grace. We know that we’ve made plenty of mistakes, but You come running after us, time after time again. Even when we know we don’t deserve it.
For that, we’re thankful. We ask that once again You’ll bring us back into your arms.
We know that people are oppressed, but not just in our country, also around the world. We know that our “problems” aren’t quite so great when we step back and put them in perspective.
We know that You have a plan for each and every one of our lives. And that Your plans are to prosper us and to give us a hope and future.
We know that the road might be longer than we expect, and we know that sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged, but we pray that you fill us with endurance to carry on Your good works to all the nations.
We pray that You make our speech intentional, and that You would make our actions filled with love and compassion for our fellow man.
We pray that You don’t allow us to get calloused or try to solve our problems using hatred or anger, but that you’ll inspire us to be a light in the darkness in all we do.
We ask that in all of the troubles of this life, all of the confusion and chaos, that You will be our anchor that keeps us steady, as you have so many times before.
We thank You for dying on the cross for our sins and coming back in glory. We know You are all-powerful.
Only You are able to change the state of our country. Only You are able to change the state of our hearts. Only You.
We pray that we are receptive to Your words, and that You’ll provide us with an open heart to all of your children.
You created us all in your image, let us never forget that.
We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, all because of Your mighty works.
Bring us together in unity and strength. Help us to love each other with just a glimmer of how much You love us.
Help us to never forget the hardships we've been through and to remember that through it all, You are holy.
Please bless the USA once again.
In Your name we pray,
Amen.
