Prayer Log

Now that we are two in agreement, it's time to pray.
Dear Heavenly Father: we come humbly before your throne because Your Son gave us the right to do so by His sacrifice on the cross. We are distressed in our hearts by the things we see happening in the world, even though You warned us in your Word that such things would come to pass. We cannot simply stand by and watch what you gave us be threatened by those who would kill us simply because we claim Your son as our Lord and Savior. So we come to You with these fears and ask Your guidance. You created all things and You gave us this beautiful nation; we know that Your government and kingdom is above all earthly kingdoms and Your ways are not our ways. It pains us that so many would sow the seeds of unrest and hate in the name of a god who does not exist, and we ask that Your Holy Spirit shed light into the hearts and minds of these people and all who find themselves under their sway. We claim the promises that Jesus made, and we understand the power in His Name to ask for these things because they were bought and paid for by His precious blood. Make us an instrument of your peace and bring whosoever You wish to this forum and let it be for your glory. Amen.
