Our situation: In this world today…
Power rests with a relatively small group of politicians and financiers, who enhance their personal wealth and privilege by looting the country through a self-serving legislative process.
The time for action is now. The collective effect of even this smallest act can change everything.
How you can help:
Simply share this small file folder with everyone – see the Sharing Instructions at the end.
This prayer is purposefully brief – there will be more personal thoughts that will occur to you that you might want to add (child-trafficking comes to mind).
Remember always, as you read the words, there are people all around the world lifting up their voices at the same time, flanking on your left and on your right, behind you and before you – while the host of the redeemed, from all ages past, bring our plea for strength and conviction and deliverance up before God.
God often uses the most unexpected people in the most unexpected ways to accomplish His Will and, as wild as it might seem, these simple words, spoken together in unison, can change any situation.
Have no doubt of this in your heart.
God can use anyone He wants in order to accomplish His will. We don’t get to pick and choose, He does. We need to have faith and pray for everyone involved in what God is doing. God is in charge; God wins.
For a time, suffering and a profound patience may be required. And so altogether we pray:
Almighty God, this first,
thank you for your grace and mercy on our lives
the truth is on our side
while we still can, we meet, we talk, we can share the truth
the risk of losing even this freedom becomes more apparent as the days wear on
thank you Father for all that you do for us and through us
make this a reminder that we can go before your throne boldly to make requests from you
and we will be able to celebrate, even for a moment, and shout out to everyone what a mighty God we serve
please continue to protect us from the enemy who wants to destroy us all
We admit we need you
we are overwhelmed with continuing battles
shelter us from the actions of those who have been bribed or protected to do evil things
bring conviction to them so they would come forward and admit their faults
thank you for the people who are waking up and fighting back
we come to you weary and beaten, attacked by an enemy that seems to be in control
we seek you; we ask for guidance and continually renewed strength as more of us open our eyes to see how the evil surrounds us
we ask that this enemy would be taken away swiftly
we ask for strength to stand up against the tyranny filled with lies – freedom from the tyranny that surrounds us
give us the power to love those who we find it so hard to love
all they do is lie, misrepresent and fabricate a narrative to form fear
and drive people away from Truth.
fill us with renewed strength as we move forward and continue to expose them
settle our hearts and remind us how your word does comfort us and give us rest
we will enjoy the peace that passes all understanding
we pray that more people will understand that what is going on is much bigger than politics.
It is spiritual warfare.
You are God. You alone hold the answers. Teach us how to be servants. Amen.
Admonition to everyone:
Have patience and empathy with people as they wake up to the reality of what is going on in our world and who is doing it. Pray for them. Explain things calmly and logically. Do not get into fights with family members or friends and do not destroy relationships over these subjects. Meet people where they are. Approach it in love and kindness, but speak the Truth boldly.
Simply share this – let them decide what to do with it.
Know that God is at work:
For nothing is hid that shall not be made manifest, neither anything secret that shall not be known and come to light.
Comfort for those afflicted who trust the hand of God:
Read Psalm 91 and Psalm 140 – slowly.
Luke 817
