Lord tonight as I read through these prayer requests, my heart is aching that your people will come to you, they will seek you. Whether they are in a position of governing, power, voters, or children. Lord I pray that they will that the only way is to accept you as their Savior and that through that, you will bless them, even if they don't see it immediately and even if/when it hurts and makes no to little sense.
Lord you have blessed our nation time and time again and we've taken advantage and for granted those blessings. We've become lazy and selfish in your blessings. Lord my prayer is that we become good stewards in the gifts you give us, no matter how big or small or signicant they seem to us at the time. That we will praise you through it all. Through the good and beauty or the hard and ugly times. Lord let the leaders of our country seek you when making decisions for our country. Let them come to you on bended knee and humble themselves before you. You and only you are to be worshipped and I pray that they all see that and come to you.
