Sovereign Lord, I pray today for myself and for ______________________ , especially for those times when we seem to be surrounded by enemies both seen and unseen. When our foes are many, and many rise up against us, I pray that you will be a shield around us. Please bestow glory on us and lift up our heads. When we cry aloud to you, please answer us from your holy hill; be merciful to us and hear our prayer and give us relief from our distress. I pray that in our anger against our enemies we will not sin, and that when we lie down on our beds each night we will search our hearts and be silent before you. Please sustain us when we lie down to sleep, so that we will not fear even if tens of thousands are drawn up against us on every side. May we lie down and sleep in peace; please make us dwell in safety. I pray that you will arise and deliver us from all who are gathered against us. May our deliverance come from you and may your blessing rest on us. I pray that we will continue to offer right sacrifices to you - the living sacrifice of our bodies offered to you, and the sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving from our lips - and continue to trust in you. May the light of your face shine on us, and fill our hearts with greater joy than money can buy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

"There is no better way to pray according to the will of God than by praying his own word back to him. These daily prayers are crafted, as much as possible, to incorporate the very words of the Scripture."

Welcome
Never before in the history of our country has America faced a moral crisis like the one before us today. The foundations of our government are crumbling right before our eyes. Our churches are abandoning God, our families are in shambles. There is only one hope for restoration - the Lord Jesus Christ.
