September 11th Prayer:

Dear God, on this day, 25 years ago, almost 3,000 people died, on a day they thought that would be a normal day, some going to work, some traveling, not one of them knew they wouldn’t return home to their families.

Dear Father don’t let us forget what happened that day Why does it take a tragedy to get our attention? We are a people that puts idols before you, whether that is our phones in our pockets, or our families, or our work, or sports, or hunting, and fishing, or you name it, insert your gods with a little g in the blank. We all have them and you are a jealous God (Exodus 20:5) albeit a righteous jealousy, you don’t want to compete with our idols for attention, and you shouldn’t.  

God, we returned to you for a while after you got our attention, but we have turned away from you again, and again, forgive us.

We live in an evil world, where we can find distractions everywhere. The devil wants to distract us from you and is doing a very good job of it. Forgive us and protect us from the devil.

Dear God, we are in a spiritual battle, and the devil is not hiding in the bushes anymore, he is out in the open, just watch the news, like the Lindsay Clancey trial. Thank you, God, for that one juror that stood up for what was right, but what is scary God, is that it was just one juror. God, have we forgotten your commandments? Yes, we have. The first one says, “You shall have no other Gods before me” (Exodus 20:3 And number 6 says “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13).

But God you also say in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “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 I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” I pray that we would indeed humble ourselves, and pray and seek your face, and turn from our wicked ways so that you will hear our prayers and forgive our sins and heal our land.

Help us Dear God, help us. In Jesus precious and mighty name, Amen.

Let’s Pray

There are a lot of things going on in this world right now.  We have COVID-19, we have politics, you could argue we have the COVID-19 and the politics associated with it, we have a category 3 currently Hurricane, but expected to strengthen to a category 4 Hurricane soon, bearing down on parts of Louisiana and Texas.  There is social unrest and people with hatred in their hearts in the United States.  School is starting or has started all over the United States, whether you are home schooling or your children are attending school in person, it is stressful to say the least.  There are people that don’t know Jesus and that breaks my heart.  And I am sure I am missing more things that are going on, in our lives.  And all this affects our home and work lives.    

So pray with me.  Dear Heavenly Father, help us, we need you in our lives.  (I need you!)  Please be with the people affected by the Corona Virus.  Dear God, in 2 Chronicles 14 it says “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  Dear God I am pleading with you to help us during these times.  Dear Lord, I also say a special prayer for everyone that is in the way of Hurricane Laura.  I pray that they heed the warnings to evacuate and get to safer ground and if they don’t, that you will protect them.  I also want to lift up all the staff and workers, teachers and students that are attending school.  Dear God please keep them safe and healthy.  Let them finish the school year and focus on learning.  Dear Lord, I know I struggle with all the information surrounding the Corona Virus Pandemic.  I don’t know who to believe, wear a mask, don’t wear a mask, it helps, it doesn’t help.  I struggle with the numbers, the rates.  I pray that we don’t lose focus on you.  That we put your first and have faith that you are going to see us through all this.  Dear God there is also social unrest in the United States.  I pray that you stop the hatred we have in our hearts for each other.  Our souls are what matters Lost Souls Matter, dear God.  I pray a special prayer on anyone that doesn’t know you or believe in you.  Be with us dear Lord and help us through all of this.  It’s a lot to deal with and I want to shine my light to others and I want others to say I want what he (they) has (have), but it is certainly a struggle now.  Forgive me of where I have failed you, in Jesus name I pray Amen. 

I feel like we need to pray, and I just wanted to share this with you, God Bless!
