Seventeen Days of Prayer - Day Sixteen - January 19, 2021
DAY SIXTEEN
“Though I
walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your
hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. The
Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do
not forsake the works of Your hands.”[1]
Oh Lord our God, we humble ourselves in Your presence and ask for You to lift us up. Father, we have sinned against You, and You have allowed this trial to come upon us so we would wake up and have our eyes opened to the wickedness in our midst. You have afflicted us; therefore, we repent with our faces to the ground.
We have returned
to make supplication and confess Your Holy name. And though we do not deserve Your
forgiveness and cleansing, Your Word says you will hear and forgive Your
servants, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk.
Lord send the refreshing
and cleansing rain on our land and Your children just as You did for Israel,
the land You gave as an inheritance.
When famine or
pestilence come…when the enemy besieges; whatever plague or sickness invades, and finally, when each one knows the plague of his own heart and prays, hear, Lord…forgive…act…and
give good as only You can. Help us to fear You all the days of our lives and
fill us, Your temple, with Your glory.[2]
You are our Blessed
Lord. And we, the sheep of Your pasture, are apprehensive about America’s
future with the corrupt and evil people coming to power. Deliver us from evil,
and save us from the hand of the enemy.
Almighty God, according
to Your Word, “…there is no [governing] authority except from God, and the
authorities that exist are appointed by God.”[3]
And, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…”[4]
Lord, we know most of our nation has rejected You, but Your children are still
here. Years ago, You began pulling back Your hand of protection, but this is
the first time we have seen devastation coming because evil is in power. This
is the first time we have felt abandoned, but feelings are deceiving. We know
You never leave us or forsake us.
Lord God, I must
confess, I expected You to do something epic, something as miraculous as
parting the Red Sea or crumbling the walls of Jericho. But, I fear You are
saying, “No.”
Lord, help us live in
this evil world yet not be of it. Help us proclaim Your Truth loud and clear to
anyone who will listen. Give us Your comfort and protection. Be our Shield, our
mighty Protector, and the Rock upon Whom we stand.
Protect President
Trump and his family as he leaves office. Father, do not allow evil to overtake
them. Keep his supporters at home today and tomorrow, and do not allow violence in
any way. Protect those in law enforcement who have been sent to various cities
to keep the peace. In Jesus’ name, crush any riot before it begins and order
calm the next few days, so You get all the glory.
We look to You and
You alone as we pray in the matchless name of Jesus, Amen and amen.
