Dear Church Family,

  Truellen Baker has put together a wonderful prayer guide for us for the National Day of Prayer. I encourage you to take some time today and pray through this guide as we lift up our nation together!

In Christ,

Ron

National Day of Prayer 

Prayer Guide

May 7, 2020      

“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 I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”   II Chronicles 7:14

Introduction:  Never has our Nation needed our prayers as much as now.  If you will, use this guide just as if you were in the service.  There is a topic and a prayer to introduce and then if you will,  spend time on each topic after the printed prayer,  praying your own prayers for that topic.

COVID 19 in our Nation

Lord, grant us all the strength we need today during this crisis to serve one another in love.  We especially pray your extra measure of protection on those doctors, nurses, and medical personnel of all kind on the front line.

Also, Lord there are those who are essential workers that provide good nutrition, clean water, sanitation, electricity, access to one another by communication and technology.  For each and every person, we ask Your blessing and protection.  Remind us of our responsibility to encourage them by expressing our gratitude as we have the opportunity.

In this crisis we praise you for Jesus, the high and safe Rock, the ultimate trustworthy foundation for any and every storm of life.  

COVID 19 Recovery and Protection

Asking You, Merciful and Able Father, to give those scientists working on COVID the knowledge needed to develop the safest and most effective medicines and therapies to help the ill recover and protect the well from contracting the virus.  Give those physicians and agencies delegated with such authority the wisdom to approve the release and apply the use of those treatments to patients in Your perfect timing.  We pray for this, Lord Jesus, to minimize the suffering and loss of life this contagion is leaving in its wake.

 COVID 19 and our Elderly, Nursing Home Residents, and Those Hospitalized

Lord,  2 Corinthians 12:9 tells us “My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”  Those at home sheltering in place for a very long time, Nursing Home Residents that can’t have visitors and those hospitalized that are there with no visitors feel so isolated.  I pray they feel Your Loving Arms around them and Your UNLIMITED Love for them.

President and His Advisors

Lord, You have said that “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”  James 1:5  On behalf of the President of the United States, I pray for him to have wisdom, discernment, and knowledge for every decision he needs to make.  I pray that the president and his advisors will not just do what seems right, but will seek Your counsel so they will do that which they know is right in Your eyes.

National Security

Lord,  help those in charge of our National Security to make decisions according to Your will and Your ways.  Show our leaders of National Security wise things to do and the precautions to take in order to insure our safety.  Guide them in installing the most effective measures for protecting the people of our country.

Justices of Supreme Court

Lord, I pray that each of our Supreme Court Justices would meditate on Your laws before they interpret the laws of the land.  Give every judge the wisdom and integrity to judge righteously so they will never violate Your laws, and may Your will be done in each decision they make.

Military

Lord, give godly wisdom to those in high office in our military to make the right decisions in defending our country.  

I pray for protection of all the men and women of our armed forces.  When they must go into battle, put a hedge of protection around them.  Give them strength to endure.

Spiritual Life of the Nation

Lord, how I thank you that even with this terrible Pandemic the good that has come is that your Gospel is being put out there in all kind of media more than ever before.  I pray for every person sharing the gospel from Sermons, Sunday School Lessons, and Bible Studies to be led by Your Holy Spirit to give just what is needed from You to bring Spiritual Healing to our nation.

Economy of the Nation

Lord, we are facing a crisis in the economy of our nation due to the pandemic.  I pray that You would give those in positions of making decisions regarding our economy Your wisdom in these decisions.  Especially protect people living in poverty, or on the edge of it, who are most painfully affected by our slipping economy. 

Educators, Teachers, and Students

Father, all three of the above are being challenged in different ways because of the pandemic.  Help them to feel Your presence and seek Your guidance in decisions that are so different from any they have had to make before.  

Please continue to help the technology to stay up and running so our students can finish the year strong.

Local Government 

Lord, I pray you would give our local officials Your wisdom in decisions they are needing to make that are so new to them.

Local Policemen and Firemen

Protect our local police and firemen as they continue to do their job in these challenging days.

As we close our prayer time Lord, help us always to be reminded that our weapons of warfare are always Prayer and God’s Word.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:6-7
