In light of our current economic and political situation found within our nation, the conversation a lady had with Benjamin Franklin comes to mind.
The United States Constitution had just been signed. This lady approaches Mr. Franklin and asked, “Well, Mr. Franklin, do we have a government?” His answer, “Yes if you can keep it.”
God gave us this great democracy by virtue of His Grace. This includes the sacrifices of our forefathers. It is therefore necessary for each successive generation of Americans to make the sacrifices necessary to maintain our democracy.
Virtual Prayer Call For America
I ask this question – Why do we need to pray for America? We need to pray for America (1) God instructed us to and (2) It’s the answer God gives us for our situation.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Heb 13:7
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14
The Believer's Guide To Praying For America
Sadly, our generation, including those in the Church, has become spiritually complacent and dependent upon the government for our everyday subsistence. The degree to which this is true has never before been experienced by this Country.
The headlines today scream out about our forfeiture of each of our God-given freedoms. This has brought the encroachment of government even further and further into our everyday lives.
Sadly, the fault for this does not lie with our politicians, but rather at the door of the Christians in America as a whole. We have failed to continually lift up our Nation in prayer to Almighty God.
The Psychological Benefits Of Prayer
How much time have I spent praying for “finances and things for myself” versus praying for “the Restoration of Righteousness in America?”
There is absolutely no man, no political party, or any mass movement by man, that can ever alter, remove or circumvent God or His Ways in any manner whatsoever.
America’s destiny lies in the Christians in America reaching out to God in repentance for our sins and imploring Him to heal our land. Read again II Chronicles 7:14.
Today We Pray For America!
God’s ways have never changed. Nor will they ever change. Therefore, if righteousness does not prevail in our land, it will be our fault as the Body of Christ.
Do we want history to record that our generation of Christians in America ignored God and failed to plead to Him to heal our land? That is not heritage; rather, it is the abject failure of The Church
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; (Whether we agree with the kings and all those in authority or not is immaterial, for when this Scripture was written cruel and spiritually ignorant despots ruled the entire world.) that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1Ti 2:1-8
Seek God Diligently And Pray For America!
The above verses clearly instruct us that Christians are to pray for those in authority. This is regardless of whether we agree with them or not. If we will pray for them, Dos said He will hear our prayer and heal our land.
I shudder to think what our children’s world will be like if we as parents and grandparents fail to repent for our sins. We need to pray for those in authority and for righteousness to prevail in our land.
We may not understand how prayer causes healing. It is not yet ours to know. However, we do know that it is the truth for it is God’s Word. I am asking that each of you join with us in our daily prayer for our nation.
Reasons Why We Pray For Our Nation
There is no room whatsoever for political answers or resolutions because politics is not the issue. The issue before us is this:
Let us “go and find God” as we never before have. Let’s touch His Face with prayers for those in authority as set forth in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Only then will we be able to “keep” the Blessings that Mr. Franklin and millions of others have given their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to preserve, protect and defend on our behalf.
America Should Pray
Let us rise up together as the One True Church and pray in earnest for The United States of America as we never have before. Righteousness versus unrighteousness is the root issue we face, everything else is just fluff.
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior in march of 1984. I was in the Navy at this time. It became my greatest desire to draw closer to God. Since that day I have been led by God's Spirit and the scriptures to live a life of Holiness. Holiness is not a bunch of rules, but rather it is the conviction and desire that I am pleasing to God in my life. These convictions are then what set the boundaries of my conduct and actions in life.
Once we have been converted, we are made Holy and begin to learn to express God's Holiness. day by day! Holiness unto the Lord, is the established and therefore the eternal standard for every saint

First, I want to pray for all people of the world. May as many as possible put their hope and trust in Jesus. I pray for the leaders within the world. May they yield to God’s authority no matter what they personally believe. May more and more people understand the absolute truth about God’s love. For there is only one God and He has sent a great Mediator to reconcile God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:1-5).
The USA was founded as a republic, which means that the supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives rather than a monarch. The USA’s constitution begins with that beautiful phrase, We the People, and continues with the ideals of justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, and the blessings of liberty. The USA has always been a leader in helping other countries, both militarily and financially.
Pray For America. Then Do It Again Tomorrow
However, the USA also has immense trouble brewing because of fighting within its own boundaries. Most of this bickering is only seen on the news. Bad situations do happen and there is violence in a lot of places, but those incidences are often blown up to catastrophic proportions when you watch news programs. Thankfully, there are also many areas where saying hello and loving your neighbor is still a common occurrence. May those incidences grow and even become contagious.
A leader’s power is appointed by God and ultimately God rules over all leaders. Pray for those leaders to rule with godly wisdom. Humble them to realize that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and results in good judgment (Proverbs 9:10). Leaders are held to a higher standard than the people under them. Help them to humbly remember that just as easily as they stepped into leadership, they can be removed.
Dear Father God, You are the supreme leader of the world. Help our leaders in the USA take their rightful place underneath Your sovereignty. Guide them to lead with a reverent fear of You. For when they use Your statutes as the basis for their laws, a country will thrive. But when they think that they know best, their nation will fall. Help them to look to You before they make decisions.
