DAY 5 | State: DE
DAILY TOPIC: The Law
PRAYER FOR THE LAW
Father of us all, we thank You for Your perfect laws, written on every heart. If You can change the course of a king’s heart like a stream, we know You can change the heart of any American. Lord, many are deceived in this country. We ask You to lift the veil of deception, and speak to our hearts of Your truth, Your laws, Your love, and Your Holy presence. Allow Americans to sense Your presence and Your voice, and lead us in Your ways everlasting. We ask for lawmakers who will represent Your people well as they interpret, enforce and determine the laws of this country. We ask for leaders who will first of all follow Your laws as they lead.
“But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it “(James 1:25).
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).
