Prayer Topic #14:
A Prayer for the United States of America

Scripture Reading:
Psalm 97, Nehemiah 1

Reflections of the Heart:
The United States has been an impressive nation for generations. It is critical that we, as a nation, not think
more highly of ourselves, but that we acknowledge the protection, provision, grace and mercy that God has
extended towards us.

Scriptural Prayer:

Almighty Father, we thank You for blessing the United States of America with abundance and prosperity.
Thank You for surrounding our nation with Your favor, grace, and mercy. Thank You for the liberties we have
through the U.S. Constitution. Thank You for our military personnel who sacrifice greatly to protect our nation.
God, You merely spoke and the heavens were created. You breathed the Word, and all the stars were born.
You assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. We praise Your Name forever
and ever, for You possess all wisdom and power. Lord, You are glorious and more majestic than the
everlasting mountains. You sit on Your holy throne and reign above the nations. All the kings of the earth
belong to You. You are highly honored everywhere.

Heavenly Father, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in our nation. You said that if we commit our
actions to You, You will cause them to succeed; therefore, we come submitting our leaders, economy and our
military personnel to You. As we pray for President-Elect Donald Trump and all our leaders, we expect to live
peaceful and quiet lives that are marked by Godliness and dignity. By faith, we declare that our leaders will
trust in You with all of their hearts. They will not depend on their own understanding, but they will seek Your
will in all they do and we expect that You, Lord, will show them which path to take when making decisions for
the American people. Lord, we declare that You are our light and salvation. As Kingdom Ambassadors, we
trust in You, we will not be afraid. God, You are our fortress, protecting us from danger so we will not tremble.
We stand against the spirits of fear, suicide, and hopelessness and we destroy their assignments against our
nation. We declare that every enemy or foe who comes to attack us will stumble and fall. We confess that we
will find safety in the shelter of Your presence.

I commit to praying and interceding on behalf of our nation for the following issues:

Holy Spirit, unite the Body of Christ to pray continually for our nation. Guide our president and all our leaders
as they govern and remind each of them that they should be working together for the good of the nation and
not for the advancement of self. Please give them creative ideas and strategies to rebuild the economy, and
address environmental, educational, health, and social dilemmas. Holy Spirit, we ask that You would minister
to our leaders and continue to provide for their families. Please restore peace, joy and hope to our American
citizens.

Merciful Father, we repent on behalf of our nation for all acts of sinfulness. We acknowledge that our actions
have created problems that only You can solve. Forgive us for all sin, including disobedience, pride, greed,
arrogance, selfish ambition, rebellion, hypocrisy, injustice, jealousy, hatred, violence, ageism, sexism, racism,
and dissension. Father, forgive our nation for worshiping other gods and turning our backs on You. Father,
forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to
forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to
forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need
to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any
wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
