Prayer for the Nation and Economy


We bless Your Name Lord.
We know that You are truly Sovereign in all things.
Hear our prayer Father for our Country.

We pray for its economic health.
These are such difficult times for so many people,
and our very future seems so uncertain at times.
Help us to have that peace that surpasses all understanding,
which lies in knowing that You are the One who truly provides for us.
Lord bring to our attention people who are in need around us
and give us the desire and the ability to help them.
We freely admit Lord that much of our current trouble
is due to our own failings in doing business in an honorable way
that is based on true stewardship of what you have given to us.
Help us Father to grow our economy and build industries
in a way that is honoring to you and does not rely
on dishonesty or unfair treatment of others.

We pray Lord for our Nation and its leadership,
Lord direct and guide all those involved in the government of these United States.
For our President, we pray he would seek you and follow you as he works,
For our Congress, we pray they would work beyond political differences 
to make laws that are honoring to You and beneficial to our Country.
For our Courts, we pray they would be just and fair
finding based on fact and law and not be moved by power or personal agenda.
Help us Lord as a people to pray for our leaders,
place it on our hearts daily to lift them to you
that you would bless them and bless this great United States of America.

Help us as a people to find humility in our successes
and hope in our darkest moments.
Help us to find concern and kindness for each other,
based on the love and compassion you have shown us.
Give us the strength to stand for what is good in Your sight and
to reject that which would lead us away from Your ways.

Bless this Nation Lord as it blesses you,
In the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ we pray. ~Amen
