Lord please don’t let the darkness of our hearts consume this nation once again.  May the Light of your brilliant love shine through the shrouds and mourning cloths in the observance and death of our obedience to your Commandments.  Awaken hearts to the understanding of our impenitent past and the danger associated with a searing of our hearts to the convicting voice of Spirit.  Lord let us awaken as Nineva with Jonah, confessing our sin, repenting to fast in sack cloth and ashes in the shame of our revealed decadence.  Father, let his nation be revived to the call of your Spirit upon the body that we might turn our hearts, mind, strength, faces and will back to the course and heading you’ve determined for out continued blessing.  May we once again preach the Holy Gospel with Confidence lacking hypocrisy and waxen demeanor.

Father, forgive me for not speaking louder, earlier, more often and clearer in my clarity of purpose for the Kingdom’s Work.  May your Spirit overcome my frailties and may I remain dedicated, obedient and focused for the enduring race before me that I might win by telling all that I meet about Jesus.  Lord allow me to do the impossible in reaching hearts that had been previously set to the norm of their own decadent thinking.  Father allow us as a church body to recover from the edge of the abyss those whose hearts have been darkened, separating them from your love and condemning them to lies abstaining the Truth.  Father let them awake that they might face the coming judgment with clarity that they might make decisions now that effect the outcome and location of their future.  I pray that we as a nation obey and stop trying to impress or avoid your Loving Hand upon us.  Let us be real and in being real, truly love you and the world around us enough to lay down our lives that they might be saved.

Lord Jesus, I weary of these circumstances. I can only imagine the depth of your sadness and remorse at finding them closed to your arrival for offer of salvation.  Lord give me the enduring strength to love them enough to deal with whatever comes my way that they might be saved from the fires to come and the wrath of your inevitable judgment upon all in this world and upon the Fallen.  Forgive us for wavering, wandering and departing from the skinny path. Let us again find our footing and our faithful foundation of a Nation dedicated to Living in a way that Honors the Righteous God who created us and provides all that we ever need, including unquenching Love.  Father we pray to have dedication resembling yours but know now that we have strayed from Your Will and Intention for humanity and this Nation.  Please let us rededicate our selves to the principles and ideals and once again demonstrate our love for you in our obedience to all that you have commanded of Men.  In Your Holy Name I pray Lord Jesus My King.
