Dear God,
I start my prayer by declaring the words that you gave to David in Psalms 119. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I pray your word over my family in the name of Jesus, for your Word says train up a child in the way he should go and when He is old He will not depart from it. I pray that you will teach me how to train my child or children in the way they should go. I know your Word will show me. You said blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. I pray that you will turn this nation back to God so that we do not lose the blessing you have promised to the nations which honor and respect you. You command us in your word to pray for our leaders and so I humbly come before you lifting up our local and national leaders that they will hear the voice of God and follow it. Your Word tells me how to pray and so I close this prayer by declaring and decreeing the prayer you taught your disciples to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven hallowed (Holy) is your name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. We speak healing, forgiveness and deliverance over our lives and our nation in the name of Jesus AMEN!
