Day 4 - October 29, 2014 ________________________________________ Target: Fear Psalm 27:1, 3 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident. Founding Father Quote “Under all circumstances, trusting in our Maker and through His wisdom and beneficence to the great body of our people, we will not despair nor despond. Abraham Lincoln Prayer: Heavenly Father, we are plagued on every side by troubling circumstances. It seems that our enemies are shooting poisonous darts from every angle, and stealing our peace. Forgive us for allowing the Enemy to create unrest in our homes, in our schools, in our places of business. Forgive us for allowing the government to kick You out of places where we desperately need Your peace to reign. As ungodliness increases in our country, there seems to be little room for hope. As Christians, we know that the Scriptures say You are our Great Hope. Through the blood of the Lamb, we have assurance that You are in control, and that You have not given us a spirit of fear but of sound mind. Therefore, we will not fear but place our trust in You, until the time of Your Son’s returning. For in You we have our being, and through You nothing is impossible. Lord, have mercy upon us and grant us Your peace that surpasses all understanding, that we might be able to stand against the Enemy and boldly proclaim, “I will not fear any evil, for Thou art with me.” In Jesus’ name, Amen. ________________________________________ Day 4 Prayer for Leaders The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases. Proverbs 21:1 Heavenly Father we give You praise, glory and honor this day as we acknowledge You, Creator of this universe, the only living God, and Your Son Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world. Father we come to You in repentance for the condition of our nation because we have turned away from You. We repent of the six things that You hate according to Proverbs 6: 16-19, as we are guilty of all. A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness, and the one that is an abomination to You: he who sows discord among the brethren. Father we ask for Your forgiveness as we forgive each other. Father, our eyes are open to the descent of America and we want to put this nation back on track with You but we cannot do it without Your help. We want Your Name to be glorified again across this land. We need Your help to elect a new administration that will acknowledge and honor You and Israel. Father, without You we can do nothing. We pray for wisdom, strength and courage. Father, renew our strength, give us new hope and make us one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Lord God, we ask for your blessing on the lives of these leaders in our nation: President Barack Obama U.S Senators Vice President Joe Biden U.S Representatives Attorney General Eric Holder Governors Chief Justice John Roberts Mayors Justice Samuel Alito Councilors Justice Anthony Kennedy Teachers Justice Elena Kagan Justice Sonja Sotomayor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Justice Stephen Breyer Justice Antonin Scalia Justice Clarence Thomas We ask that You turn their hearts towards You, Lord. We ask that You soften their hearts, Lord, to recognize and receive truth. Lord, we ask that you grant them the understanding and knowledge that come from the fear of You. We ask that you grant them wisdom and discernment, Lord, and that you make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. Lord, we ask that you direct their hearts to do Your will. Amen.
