Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus. Lord, forgive us for our sins. Withold Your hand of judgement this day for our sins and the sins of those who lived here before us. We have forsaken You and kicked You out of our government and schools. We have ignored Your holy word. We have turned our backs on You. Our churches have become kingdoms for men and entertainment centers. We need to take back territory that we have gradually given to the enemy.
Divorce in the church is higher than in the world. Teen pregnancies are just as high in the church as in the world. Lord You have promised to come back for a spotless bride not a cheap mistress. We have set up idols in the church and in our homes. We equate money and prosperity with holiness, people with little means are not allowed positions in the church. You must have a resume now and references, and be "financially fit" in order to be "sent" by the church these days. What happened to the "church" that Jesus said He would build? We have become prideful and seekers of prestige and positions, not humble servants bringing the Kingdom of heaven down here on this earth.
Lord you disciplined Your children Israel before for turning their backs on You. You allowed them to be overtaken by enemies, and subjected to slavery. Lord withhold this judgement from us this day. Raise up leaders in this country that will honor and obey you. Reveal You plans to Your prophets and turn the hearts of this Nation back to You.
Lord we are asking for miracles. Time is running out...but then if we can't come to You this day, then who?
Father we ask that You wash this Nation with the blood of Your Son, Jesus. Pour out Your Spirit this day. We pray for a National Revival from the capitol to every area of government. Invade our minds, Lord, heal our spirits and wash us clean with the blood of the lamb, Jesus. Help us Lord, to live the life that Your Son died for! Help us Lord to be the people that You have called us to be, and help us Lord to do the things that You have commanded us to do.
We ask all of these things today, in the name of Jesus.

Lord, we continue to pray for revival in America. Send a moving of The Spirit such as we have never seen. Turn this nation back to You, Lord God. Cover us by Your blood and protect us by Your angels. Let a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit turn this nation upside down and totally around. In Jesus Name, amen.

Father, I stand in agreement with these prayers for our nation and the church. I also ask for revival and renewal to overcome the nation and the church in spite of ourselves. We want to be worthy of Your approval Father, not condemnation for our shortcomings. Help us Father. Lord, clear Your sanctuaries of the merchants as You did before. In Jesus Name we come before Your throne. Amen.
