DAY 17 | States: NJ & NM
DAILY TOPIC: Truth
PRAYER FOR TRUTH
We ask for a renewed hunger for Your truth in our land. We ask You to give us a renewed hunger for Your Word. May we rediscover both individually and corporately as a nation, that Your Word not only lights our path, but provides the roadmap for our journey through life. May we discover how Your truth not only protects, but truly liberates anyone who allows its precepts to be written on the tablets of the human heart. Draw us, O God, to a reverence for the truth of Your Word. Grant us the ability to understand right and wrong as defined and determined by Your truth. We ask You, Father, to grant Americans the ability to know Your true character, and to surrender our manmade images of who You are. We ask that self-evident truths become self-evident once again. We ask You, Father, to grant Americans the wisdom to discern truth from deception. We ask that Americans will be lovers of truth, rejecting false witnesses and distortions of the truth.
If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:31-32).
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord, thank you that the President recognized Jerusalem as the Biblical capital of Israel and moved our Embassy. We pray for peace and prosperity in Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
