This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 JOHN 5:14
Father God, the God of yesterday, today and forever, today we pray along with a few of our founders, agreeing with them for our United States of America:
**Noah Webster, Revolutionary Soldier, Judge, Legislator, Educator, “Schoolmaster to America”: “The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles… This is genuine Christianity and to this we owe our free constitutions of government. The moral principles and precepts found in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the… evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible” God, return our Nation to these roots. Amen.
**Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Surgeon General of the Continental Army, “The Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life… The Bible… should be read in our schools in preference to all other books because it contains the greatest portion of that kind of knowledge which is calculated to produce private and public happiness.”
“I do not believe that the Constitution was the offspring of inspiration, but I am as satisfied that it is as much the work of a Divine Providence as any of the miracles recorded in the Old and New Testament. T]he only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government is the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible.” God, may we return our children to a godly education where You are honored and Your Truths taught.
**James Otis, leader of the sons of Liberty, attorney & jurist; credited with phrase “taxation without representation is tyranny” “Has [government] any solid foundation? Any chief cornerstone?… I think it has an everlasting foundation in the unchangeable will of God… The sum of my argument is that civil government is of God.” God,bring us back to You as the root of our government.
**George Washington, 10/3/1789: “By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…” God, it is our duty to acknowledge Your providence. It is our duty to obey Your will. It is our duty to be grateful for Your benefits. It is our duty to humbly implore Your protection and favor. Release to our people a fiery zeal for Your Kingdom here on earth.
**Gouverneur Morris, Member of Continental Congress, Signer of Constitution: “There must be religion. When that ligament is torn, society is disjointed and its members perish… The most important of all lessons is the denunciation of ruin to every state that rejects the precepts of religion. Your good morals in the army give me sincere pleasure as it “”hath long been my fixed opinion that virtue and religion are the great sources of human happiness. More especially is it necessary in your profession firmly to rely upon the God of Battles for His guardianship and protection in the dreadful hour of trial. But of all these things you will and I hope in the merciful Lord.” God, along with Gouverneur Morris, we place our trust in You for the health of our American society, our Nation’s protection. Please move with Your merciful power to accomplish this.
In accordance with Your command to pray for President Trump through prophet Robin Bullock, we pray to the to Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that You would grant President Trump, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in his inner man, that Christ may dwell in his heart through faith; that he, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that he may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to You who are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to You be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.(Eph. 3:14-20) Amen.
